Marc is another ex-soldier and a third owner in a kink club. He was Master Marco when he was younger and enjoys the BDSM lifestyle. One night at the club when he was monitoring the dungeon he sees a woman being abused by her wanna-be Dom boyfriend. He rescues her and makes sure she gets home without further harm.

Angelina is the woman who was abused at the club. She was in what’s called sub-space which I considered to be almost separated mind and body to deal with what was happening to her. She was so out of it she thought Marc was a wolf shifter because of his mask and the books she likes to read. She hated what was done to her but soon realizes that she enjoys submitting to a certain extent.

This was the second story in this series and honestly I never really liked Marc. I did however like Angelina and enjoyed her journey in BDSM. I really wish that Marc would’ve been honest about who he was and what he really wanted to have with her. I am enjoying this series but I wasn’t crazy about this book. I will read on though because this series is about more than BDSM sex, it packs some heavy emotion. Thanks again Kate and Mindy for suggesting it!

Dewayne just got home from a deployment and is having a hard time adjusting to life in civilian world. He has pretty severe flashbacks and seeks help from a chaplain. He does enjoy spending time with his friends and especially Veronica. They skyped a few times when he was trying to reach his friends. He realizes that their talks and her voice got him through some rough times in his deployment.

Veronica is a cousin of one of the other characters in this series. She is very awkward and shy as a result to being raised by religious zealots in war torn third world countries. She left that life to have what she called a normal life. She has a job, a place to live and is studying for her GED. She also wants to try to date and have sex.

This started out so cute it made me giddy. The development of their relationship was slow and sweet. Between his PTSD and her sheltered to the extreme childhood, it was a wonder it happened at all. I liked the characters and was interested in hearing their stories. Then the sex happened and just kept shaking my head. It was so non descriptive it was all most off page. I had to reread the sex to make sure I didn’t miss something. Boring. From there it was downhill and I won’t read anything more by this author.

Ford Hendrix has come home. A former Navy SEAL and hometown hero. He has come home to run a business with four of his military friends. He has come home to a family that overwhelms him and an ex-fiancé who jilted him for his former best friend. He also came home to the woman who has loved him since she was fourteen.

Isabel Carlisle has also come home. She came home from New York after a failed marriage. She’s running her family’s business, just until she can regroup and raise more money for her fashion business she wants to open in NYC. She has a sister she barely knows and has to face the man she loved years ago.

From Ford’s fights with Angel, to his mother’s please marry my son booth at the festival, to the fake relationship and the letters that bound these two people to each other, this was a great book. Funny, sweet and sexy. I even sighed. You even got a twofer, Kent and Consuelo’s story. That was the only weak part of the book. Their relationship was abrupt without secrets coming to the surface. Otherwise, another great one from Susan Mallery.
