***5 Stars*** Oh. My. Head. And Eyes. And Heart. And that’s just about Ben and Makayla...it doesn’t even include the other crazy that happens in the book (and no, I’m not just talking about Chase, Levi and Kip) there is other crazy…but, despite the whiplash (or maybe because of) I kept turning the pages and loved how everything turned out in the end. Ben and Mak…these two drove me batshitcrazy. As much as I loved them/ended up loving them, they both annoyed the hell out of me in equal measure. Both have really good hearts and care deeply for those they call their own, but when they go at it, they go big. As teens, I tended to side with Mak, and it wasn’t because of the obvious, but as adults, they were both on the same level in a lot of ways. But, the chemistry was there and while there was a whole bunch of push/pull going on ~ and add in a bunch of outside crazy ~ they were inevitable and I’m just happy they figured it all out and got their HEA. This baby has A LOT going on. I mean we...

***5 Stars*** I WANTED and NEEDED more of Grayson and Lyric after meeting them in Love, Not War anthology, and boy did I get it and I LOVED every kinky, eye rolling, heartstring pulling moment!  This baby was everything! So, Daddy and Princess aka Grayson and Lyric. I freakin’ adored these two. They drove me batshitcrazy at times, but I adored them. Lyric is more aware of who she is and those around her than many give her credit for, for a variety of reasons. I loved her honesty, her sass and how she owned everything she was. Grayson is a Daddy. Through and through. He is protective, dominant and has a good soul. Their journey to their HEA was one for the ages and to say the chemistry between them was insane. I will admit here that while I adored them, they both made their mistakes along the way, some more frustrating than others, but their faults/insecurities/vulnerabilities made them real and I was more than happy with how everything turned out for them in the end. As I stated at...

Leaving behind the Marine Corps together, my dog Omega and I made the cross-country trek to Pittsburgh for an exciting new career. Now I get to spend my days doing dangerous missions with my team and Omega gets to spend his days relaxing, unless there are explosives to be sniffed, and then he’s all paws on deck.

***5 ‘Today and Tomorrow and Always’ Stars*** This right here is why I’m a full on fan girl of this series. The storyline, the characters, how the author keeps all the various and numerous connections straight while making new ones…all of it kept me turning the pages and had me doing a re-read as soon as I finished because it was just that damn good and I didn’t want to say good-bye. I adored Ivan and Lei. Ivan being a Mercant is already a vote in his favor ~ because who doesn’t love the Mercants? ~ his loyalty to family and need to protect, not only his family but he found a very interesting kinship with was a huge draw. Lei was light, happiness and a sweet sassyness that had me smiling, even when her light was dimmed due to an extreme loss. Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun to experience. I loved how they first collided and the connection it started between them. And while their second collision was not as joyous, it only strengthened the bond between them and as they got t...
