I was disappointed that so much of this book overlapped with the first book. Reading them back to back made it even more painful. There had to be some way to avoid that.

Two men who come together when they most need it. This book is a lovely read with memorable characters, a slow burn romance, and an understanding only these two men could achieve. The story is a memorable one, mainly character driven, which is never a negative for me. The slow relationship development as the two men, Brains and Paul, get to know and learn about each other, and fall in love. A must-read and an excellent first book for me by R.L. Merrill!

Such a nice change of pace to have a story with a military mc and the angst ISN'T about him coming out.

Lots to like in this second instalment
While some bits confused me, I was trying to remember timelines for the crossover with Summer of Hush, all in all this was a lovely romance.
I really loved Paul and Brains, both as individuals and as a pair. I liked their unique meet/cute which worked really well for me.
I loved Paul's sister and her kids, and there was less of the rock star/band tour in this book, which I also preferred.
I did get confused with some of the military usage as I was sure Marines absolutely do not like being called soldiers, but that terminology was used a few times throughout, even though Paul was a Navy Corpseman.
