About this listen

In the wake of tragedy, SEAL Mark Whitley rushed stateside to act as guardian to his sister’s three young children. But a conflicting will could give custody to someone else - someone Mark remembers as a too-young, too-hot, wild party boy. Even after six years, Mark can’t shake the memory of his close encounter with Isaiah James, or face up to what it says about his own sexuality.

Isaiah’s totally over the crush that made him proposition Mark all those years ago. In fact, he’s done with crushing on the wrong men altogether. For now, he’s throwing himself into proving he’s the best person to care for his cousin’s kids. But there’s no denying there’s something sexy about a big, tough military man with a baby in his arms.

As the legal details get sorted out, their long-buried attraction resurfaces, leading to intimate evenings after the kids are tucked in. A forever future is within reach for all of them, if only Mark can find the courage he needs to trust Isaiah with his secrets - and his heart.

This book is approximately 80,000 words.

Loved the narration. Loved the complexity of the two main characters and how they worked their way through to a HEA. Nice that true feelings and not just sex started the journey that both characters were on. Just a different take on other stories content.

I really loved this book. I loved the characters; they were complicated, their motivations were very clear, and I empathised with them. I particularly loved that the angst was real, and relationship drama was real, a result of each character doing what he believed was right, not the fake/forced angst that can often be used as a plot device. The plot was interesting, the pacing was good, the flow was great, I loved the kids and side characters... all around, a great book.

If I had once complaint, it would be the fact Wizard was labelled with a sexuality, rather than his preferences/character simply being accepted as his preferences/character, but that's a personal gripe. It made sense for the characters, was well-written, and was sensitively handled, so I can't really complain.
