Book 3 in RJ Nolan's LA Metro series. I loved the 1st 2 books and this one as well. Logan and Dale are both wounded, emotionally and physically. They meet at LA Metro working as night-shift ER physicians. I like that the characters' struggles do not get sugar-coated. They have to work towards building trust, friendship, and love. Hopefully, there will be more books in this series in the near future.

Good novel but not as good as the previous books in the series

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've read most of RJ Nolan books and with this, all of the LA Metro series. Even though the book is well written and edited, I didn't like it as much as the previous two in the series. The characters were well developed and the issues of veterans and body image were handled with respect and knowledge. However, the characters angst and issues seemed to drag for too long and then, suddendly solved in a short time. In my opinion, the main characters chemistry didn't work so well as the story didn't flow smoothly.

It was good to see the appearance (though minimal) of some of the characters from the previous books of the series. Also, the introduction of the Great Dane dog as a secondary (that sometimes felt like main) character gives a break to the story angst and introduces some humour and cuteness (and I'm not a dog person!). RJ Nolan's love for Great Danes transpires in this novel.

Overall, I liked this book and would recommend it but, even though this novel stands by itself, I suggest to read the series in order. I'll definetely read a new installment of the series.
