Tight Quarters is Annabeth Albert's newest addition to the Out of Uniform series. This is one of my favorite series' and I hope she keeps introducing us to SEALs and their men forever and ever! There's just something special about these group of men that tugs on my heart strings. They are all unique with different pasts, but they are all SEALs to the core. It's who they are. Bacon is one of the most dedicated of the bunch. We've met him before and I knew he was going to be something special. Bacon's one of the best snipers the Navy has and he never lets his team down. He's got your six no matter who you are. After an injury puts him on the beta team, he's stuck watching a journalist. Turns out he's read his work and thinks he's a great writer. He's also sexy as hell with his silver hair and charming smile. But this is a serious op and he can't get involved with someone he's trying to protect. Spencer was given this assignment to follow the SEALs. He may be older, but he's ready and in shape. But he's not prepared for the danger of the mission and the danger that the sexy, younger Bacon stirs in him. When they are separated from the team and alone with nothing to do but talk, they learn about each other and form an emotional bond. One they both want to go beyond friends. After the mission is over their fun, flirty banter continues until they can't wait to see each other again. They know it's not a good idea, but they are going to do it anyway. It's just for them though, stolen weekends, secret texts and emails. But it's so much more than the physical. They are falling for each other. It's beautiful to watch! Bacon, who's pan, develops such strong feelings for Spencer. He loves his body and his mind. And Bacon has no trouble expressing his feelings, his wants, his desires. And he's not afraid to ask for what he wants and he wants Spencer. Spencer isn't sure they can make things work. They are in different places physically and in their careers. Will Spencer figure out that Bacon is worth more than a story before it's too late? Can Bacon forgive Spencer for hurting him? I loved this story! It's one of my favorites of the series. Bacon is everything! I loved the name that Spencer calls him. I sighed every time he said it. Bacon is sexy and smart and he's a Navy man through and through. Spencer has seen and heard a lot in his years as a journalist and he was scared of his feelings for Bacon. Overall, I loved every second of it. I laughed, cried, had to fan myself and I need more Bacon and Spencer!

Oh my, if this book didn't break my heart. The way Del and Spencer had different experiences and points of view of the military, really makes you think about both the faces of the same medal.
I'm writing this review in pieces, as I haven't finished the book yet, but needed to write about this important part.
Thanks to the double point of view, both Spencer and Del's, it's possible to read and understand about the life and thoughts of a sniper and what he has to do for the safety of the country, but then we read about Spencer's pov about veterans' PTSD, I'm just so conflicted here, as both of them have a point and the way the author put it, well, it hurts.
"He'd known it would be hard, but he hadn't expected to crumble like this. Like his world had ended. Like he'd lost the best part of himself. Like he might never find it again."
I must say I loved this book.
In each book of the series, there are different pieces of military life and problems that come from that which are presented in a very deep way.
Here I loved how both of them had a point about two circumstances concerning military life, and how they had to compromise if they wanted to stay together. In the end, they found a solution - one that I really approved of - and enjoyed every bit of their happiness, love, pain, need, and longing.

Wow, what a story. This book made me cry in so many places that I lost count, love should always come first as Bacon and Spencer face lifeѓ??s obstacles head on, even when there seems to be no compromise, love does always come first.
Annabeth Albert, is an auto buy author for me as her stories come alive with full to life characters, facing lifeѓ??s twisted roadways to find the right path to loves everlasting home.

I love every one of the Out of Uniform series. This one featuring Albert's first Pansexual character in the series, I appreciated Bacon and journalist Spencer Bryant's budding romance. As usual, there is a lot on the line for both, coming to terms with their feelings, recognizing what they want and need, and making sacrifices for the other person.
This one is on the steamer side, since Bryant and Bacon's feelings for each other rachet up pretty quickly (but always appropriately so no one gets a court-martial ;)
