*4.5 stars*I'm utterly shocked.Vanessa North, you go girl! This book was awesome, and that is saying a LOT for a novella. I'm shocked that I even liked this one, much less loved it, because I sort of loathe established couple stories. However, this one had a ton of surprises and so many things that made me adore it.First thing that tipped me off that I was going to like this one: The bigger guy is the bottom. And a complete bottom at that. That is one of my FAVORITE themes (is this considered a theme??) in M/M. And a military man to boot?!! *swoon* I don't know why, but when a femme guy tops the crap out of a muscular bottom a little dirty part of my soul sings a happy song.On that note... DAMN those sex scenes were hot! I could have used much, much more of them and MUCH more of that killer dirty talking! I just about died when Harris was talking all hot and nasty to Adam. On your next book, please include about 100 more pages of dirty talk and sexual tension resulting in dirty talk... and sex... *mind in gutter*Another thing that I love: Angst. Now, this cannot be mistaken for my biggest reading pet peeve: The silly misunderstanding. I love angst that comes out of two individuals fighting for each other, battling insecurity and personal demons, and having their relationship come out on top. I adored the angst in this book and I was rooting for these characters. Some people found these guys to be kind of unlikeable. I found them to be real.What Vanessa North nailed was the writing. I loved it. The prose was well thought out, tight, and sexy without being over the top. It was a style that I immediately connected with--> I WANT MORE!What a fantastic, unexpected surprise!*Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
