This book was just okay. I didn't hate it or love it and find myself generally apathetic about it after finishing.
Santa's Secret Ninja Elf, thank you sooo much!! I'm dying to read this one!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really liked this story! Great MCs with a big age-gap, great chemistry, believable development of their relationship, so much want and need, hot sex of course, outside forces that threaten to keep them apart, and most importantly a solution to their HEA that is not contrived by outside forces but accomplished through independent decisions and sacrifices made.
Some small niggles: I got a bit confused about their actual difference in age. Now, I admit that math isn't my strong point but I'm quite sure there were some inconsistencies in the hints that were given on their age. Paul is forty-two and I believe Sean to be in his early twenties.
I'd have liked to know more about Sean and Paul. What does Sean study for example? I found it odd that Paul never asked this question. Why does Sean never speak to his Mom? Does Paul speak to his parents at all? There's no interaction between Sean and his dad's girlfriend although they all live together.
There isn't much happening besides both men getting to know each other and finding their way to their HEA. There's basically no plot surrounding their relationship.
I found the back and forth between "I want you, I can't stay away from you." and "We can't do this, we can't see each other again." a bit repetitive and tiring after a while.
However, overall this was a sweet and steamy story that focused on the relationship between the MCs, and a great start to a new series by this author.
Nick J. Russo once again nailed his narration for this book and as always, I really enjoyed listening to him.

A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Review An Alisa Audiobook Review:
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
This was such a wonderful and in depth story. Sean has spent his life moving from base to base due to his father’s military career and it seems the military is going to keep dictating his life. Paul has finally found that connection he has always been missing in his relationships but is his career more important than love?
This story is told from both characters’ points of view so we could see how everything was affecting both Sean and Paul’s life and thoughts. Sean wants too much for everything to work out but puts his happiness aside once again. Unfortunately it takes Paul to lose what he loves to get perspective on his life and career.
Nick Russo did a great job narrating this story. I could just feel the characters’ emotions happy and sad while listening. The different voices he used for the characters helped me keep up with what was going on.
I love the cover art by LC Chase and it is perfect for this story.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual content
I'm not a massive fan of just character driven plots but this one worked for me. I felt the tension, even though there was the sacrificial lamb feeling to it at times.
Because it was just the relationship between Paul and Sean and becuase the relationship was in secret most of the time, there is lots of sex because that's all they could do!
I found the viewpoint of the impact of deployments and regular moving on the family interesting - whilst knowing it has an impact and feeling its impact here was quite intense.
And so too the realisation by long serving people that sometimes their goals can't be achieved - as is the case in all aspects of life.
Writing good as to be expected by LA Witt. Enjoyed it a lot.

When I'm in the mood for an emotional, passionate romance L.A. Witt never disappoints. She made me care about these characters and feel invested in this relationship by telling their story with alternating POVs. I look forward to reading the next book in this new series.
