Warning to those that don’t know, this is a prequel to the series. I didn’t have a problem with that though. I found it engaging, well written and enthralling. I can’t wait to read this series!

This story is done in parts but a summary is that these three men joined the military for various reasons and suffered tragic losses, both military and personal. They formed a bond serving together and continued that bond after their tours were over. They realized they all had Dom tendencies and opened a fetish club in Denver. There are more characters to be introduced as the series goes on I think.

I don’t want to give anything away so that’s all I can say. Read this series and become addicted like me. My only thought is that I hope I can handle all the BDSM that’s surely coming my way. Oh, and I wish Marc’s story wasn’t first because I really want to read about Damian and Adam first. I guess I better warn the hubby about the money we will be missing when I buy them.

Thanks to Kate and my friend Mindy for suggesting this series and for warning about what’s to come.

This review will be very short because the story was very short.

Blake Morris is a scarred former soldier both inside and out. He has Erin, a college student who cleans his house to help pay for college. He is super attracted to her but knows he’s a trainwreck mentally and physically. He has desired her from afar for a while now. But when Erin lets herself into the house to return a book to him she walks in to a self-pleasuring scene straight out of her own fantasies. To say the situation was awkward is an understatement.

This was a pleasant surprise for me and I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next installment of this series that I’m pretty sure I’m hooked on.

Jackson Steele is part of KGI, which is a military group, kind of. The only things he cares about are his team, his friends and his missions. He’s stoic, reserved and kind of an ass. After an almost screwed up mission, he ends up at a doctor’s office. He sees Maren, who his team helped rescue a while back. He is extremely attracted to her and has been for quite some time. He decides to indulge his fantasies about her while they are stuck there for the night. He figures he can get her out of his system and move on.

Maren Scofield is a doctor in a third world country. This has always been her dream and she thoroughly enjoys living it. Her only complaint is that the area’s drug lord sends his minions to persuade her to go out with him. Then her fantasy man shows up and needs medical attention, which she is only too happy to provide. They have a hot, no strings attached night and he leaves. A few days later, he’s back for more time together, only to be called for a mission where he has to leave immediately. Maren disappears and that’s the back drop for the story.

I love the KGI series and Maya Banks. I love Steele and have been waiting for this book to come out.
I liked this book a lot but it was kind of sappy. Their love just kind of happened without much build up. He went from over the top alpha male to just a man in love. It just didn’t ring all the way true for me. I still enjoyed it and look forward to Donovan’s book.
