This was unexpectedly boring. I found Sway’s scenes with his family and that nurse Sam to be very cringe worthy. The middle part of the story was so boring. I struggled to come back to the story every time I put it away.
The first few chapters were hot as fuck. And seeing the chemistry between these characters, especially in the last book, made it seem like more awesomeness was coming. But it never came. There was too much going that was irrelevant, so many side plots that didn’t make the story.
And omg Brian and his insecurity. It was so damn crippling. Constantly bringing it up and question. It was too much. I like some reality in my fiction, but this part specifically was a bit too much reality for my taste!
And there’s this thing that Lucy Lenox does in her stories that make me cringe. It’s so gross when you put an old female character that constantly talks about sex. What’s the point? I can’t see any situation where that’s warranted or even funny. Every time the nurse did that with sway, it made me want to stop reading the story.

3.5⭐️ | so this the stories and the one I was looking forward to the most, however I’m, well, I’m not sure, it was just like all the rest, it hard feelings and sweetness and everything, but it all seemed to, well, clean, I guess, things wrapped up to perfectly, this isn’t nessesarily a bad thing, but just felt a little lacklustre. Still a solid book that i enjoyed.

Great As Always
I’m glad Brian got his HEA with Sway, who has the coolest name. I’m glad that doctor was put in his place. I loved Tweetie and Sway’s mom. They were hilarious. I eagerly await the release of the next book. Speaking of releases, I like how Via separates the release of each book by several months. It’s hard to keep up when a new book is released every month.

Wow. I think out of this entire series this book hit me hardest. I cried a few times when reading about Brian's experiences. I loved it though. AE Via does a phenomenal job with her world building. I'll definitely be re-reading this.

So. The blurb made this book sound really interesting. Mute war veteran and his way to relationship and healing. But reality… was a bit underwhelming. I liked the plot, even if story seemed to be a bit hasty. Characters was a bit too black and white. Emotions lacked depth. And the mistakes. I can understand and forgive chef’s coat mysteriously changing color from black to white in a span of 10 minutes (maybe). But this. This:
“The x-rays showed no muscle damage.”
Like. How. X-rays can’t show muscle damage. At all. Even if it’s there

This is a slow moving love story, with richly detailed characters, subplots and genuine intimacy between two men.
Brian King was a favorite of mine when he was first introduced. He spent over 20 years in the US Navy, honorably discharged after a horrific ordeal at the hands of the enemy. He no longer speaks, and he has spent four years learning ASL.
Sway Hamilton is a nurse, he takes care of his mother, and is learning to live life without his twin. He is a natural caregiver.
Brian and Sway meet in book 3 in very unconventional place. In fact, they first have sex together in book 3! But they never exchange names, and would be hard-pressed to pick the other out in a lineup. This is my biggest complaint about book four, their first smokin, hot sexual interaction is at the end of book 3. I really think the author should’ve included it as a prequel in this one.
It’s a Via book, so of course there will be some silly drama, but that didn’t change my feelings about this love story.
Once again Aiden Snow does a superb job with his the voice acting in the audiobook.
