Re-read August, 2024: There is no denying that this is my GOAT.Re-read November, 2015: Thanksgiving comfort read. Fucking LOVE this book! READ IT people!If I could give this book 6 stars, I most certainly would! August 2013 edit: Even though it hasn't even been a month yet, I re-read this again this weekend. Loved it even more! The ending is what stuck out to me this time. It was so incredibly perfect. While I would gobble up a sequel if one were written, I don't think I'd be disappointed if one...

3.5 StarsI would say that this was one of the more angstier of McKenna's works. She continues to write what I assume to be a realistic portrayal of all things military, and she always does this well. Despite the story not being smack dab in the middle of a combat zone, she does touch on the ramifications of war on its soldiers and how they cope (or don't) with PTSD. Overall fans won't be disappointed with the palpable UST between the 2 MC's, and the frequent smex is of course, good. This was ano...

3.5 Stars!I was looking for something different to read when I tried this one. I don't read a lot of military books. And unfortunately I found this one to be a bit too heavy on the military. Not quite enough romance. But despite that, I did like the story-line and the main characters. But it was too long though. I really liked Sean's character and wish we had gotten his POV also. Corey wore me out a bit. I appreciated that it was low on the angst and drama. There was enough steam to keep me sati...

M/M Bingo Round 8 - Week 5"Want to Watch This on Screen"********************I put off reviewing this book for weeks now. I’m just struggling writing this. Conflicted. And I realize I'm in the minority here when it comes to this one...The thing is, the subject matter of this book is important. It FEELS important. It has WEIGHT to it that is almost physical as you read this book. And honoring our military servicemen…heroes who come back with nightmares and flashbacks and who struggle through it…we...

*** 4.25 Stars ***Ahhhh, a true emotional connection between two grown adults and no need for the author to fuck it up with unnecessary drama or ridiculous plot twists near the end. Thank god. And while everyone knows I love a man in uniform, the sexiest thing about this book was the communication between the MCs. I was also really turned on by the fact that while Corey didn't always want to ASK for help, he always tried to take that which was freely offered. No shame in that. Nope, none at all....

There have already been many wonderful reviews for this story, and while I really don't like repeating the same thing as everyone else, it is very difficult not to. I fell in love with Jonah and Kellan in the previous books, and while I was looking forward to seeing more of their story, this one did not disappoint in the least. In fact, it was even better than the first two books. Once again, the military aspect is spot on. From the story line, to the characters, to the lingo - Kendall does it a...

Oh yes, plenty of hot kissing....This is another terrific read from Kendall McKenna. I was looking forward to Corey Yarwood's book from snippets of a young corporal in Brothers in Arms through to the Staff Sergeant he is now, training new Recon Marines at Camp Pendleton.This book is full of things I like -Military men. Correct military jargon, when it is required.Seeing snippets of Jonah and Kellen again, just the right amount - my love of them still holds strong.A great plot - the death of a gi...

Okay, I just have to start off by saying, I love this author. No joke. She is amazing with military stories.Now that I have that out of the way I can start talking about this book. Where to start... It's the final in the series... Sad, I know. I'm almost in tears. I loved these characters and Corey just broke my heart here. I never expected to love this book as much as the other two, Kellan and Jonah are just hot and everything else I love in two guys.But Corey and Sean were just so sweet and ad...

This was such an amazing story. I know I've said it before in my other reviews of the author's work but McKenna does an fabulous job with delivering an authentic military feel in her books and I love it, they're jargon heavy and we learn a lot about how the military works but it never feels like an infodrop. I really enjoy Kellan and Jonah from the previous two books but this is my favorite of the series so far. Corey's PTSD and the unclear story about what happened to him and his men overseas r...
