I can’t wait for the next one! I can’t recommend the series or this book enough – highly recommended! 6 of 5 stars Audio JF Harding is a relatively new to me narrator. This is hands down my favorite in the Out of Uniform series – these two guys just really touched me, Maddox especially. There is still relationship angst and other issues to overcome, but a lot of this is these two guys – being adults – and dealing with a new “reality”. So, most of the story is really these two guys learning how to really be in a relationship together after years of friendship. Annabeth can seriously write some hot chemistry and these two sizzle! Maddox opens up and Ben gets downright naughty with the dirty talk! I was almost near tears when our two MCs are injured – and that is what finally drew them together, I think. The smexy times are – as always- smokin’. He’s sweet, sensitive, caring – and built like a linebacker! I love that! I loved how torn he was between doing what was right for himself versus what was right for his family or for Ben. (Little warning, there is a ménage scene in this that involves Maddox and Ben and someone else who doesn’t seem to mean anything later – just in case you hate that stuff.) Maddox is so, so, so wonderful. He sleeps around a lot and doesn’t seem to catch a clue that Maddox is so obviously in love with him. Ben, we’ve met before, and he isn’t as loveable as some of the other characters. Though each book is absolutely a stand alone, you get a little bit “more” if you read them in order – first the #gaymers series then the Out of Uniform series. Book! First, I love the series and it’s original spinoff. I love this series and this is my fav so far! This is book three in the Out of Uniform series. Man to man, friend to friend, lover to lover. Now, in the lonely, desperate hours awaiting rescue, the real challenge - confronting themselves, their future and their desires - begins. Until their next mission throws Ben and Maddox closer together than ever before, with only each other to depend on. But Ben's still reeling from a relationship gone to hell, and he's not about to screw up his friendship with Maddox, too.

He needs Ben by his side forever - heart and soul.īen admits he likes what he's seen - his friend's full lower lip and the perfect muscles of his ass have proved distracting more than once.

It isn't smart, falling for his best friend and fellow SEAL, but 10 years with Ben has forged a bond so intimate Maddox can't ignore it.

Pushing 30, with his reenlistment looming, decorated navy sniper Maddox Horvat is taking a long look at what he really wants in life.
