Beau and Bailey were perfection. Having the duality of their hilarious banter mixed with their vulnerable moments had me feeling all types of emotions. Their dynamic is so precious, how Beau defends and stick ups for Bailey across all avenues and how Bailey helps Beau process these repressed feelings of being back in civilian life after everything that occurred in his last deployment. Their balance and support for one another, while their internal/external struggles might be different, had my heart exploding.

Omg I really like beau and baileys story. Even if their romance happened a little fast I gotta say I don't mind that because they still had great tension and romance. Theyre so cute and I liked them as characters a lot. Totally worth reading first I didn't feel like I missed out on anything when it came to the context of the other couples and it actually made me want to read the others stories!!

 I can't give this story enough stars! 5.75 doesn't give it justice! 
Beau and Bailey are so perfect together!
