The 2nd Edition Tuck & Cover is a combining of the previously separately released short novella and longer novella Battle Buddy and Tuck & Cover respectively. During Part One, Battle Buddy, of the new edition we follow Tucker and Owen's story from the POV of Tucker. At nineteen, Shane Tucker joins the army as a great alternative to mucking cow s*** and mending fences. The Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy at the time was also a convenient justification not to come out to his family and friends in his small Texan town.During the final week of Phase I of bootcamp, Owen Bradford gets assigned as Tucker's Battle Buddy. Tall (6'4″), brown-haired, golden-eyed, dimple-cheeked, strong jawed, ripped and sexy Owen Bradford. He's also the cockiest bastard Tucker had ever met. It was lust at first sight, so naturally Tucker found him all kinds of annoying!In Part Two, Tuck & Cover, the story switches POV to Owen. The first two thirds is basically a retelling of part one. For the most part, there were enough differences from the change of POV to keep it from feeling like a straight re-hashing. And Owen is just as cocky as Tuck's story said he was! It's also during Owen's telling of events that we see Tuck's softer, vulnerable side. The voices of each character felt very distinct and true to what we were learning of them in each part.Read the full review at Live Your Life, Buy The Book
