Another great story in this series, although not my favourite if I'm honest. I still did enjoy it a lot, and I can't wait to read more from this series. Especially when it comes to the mysterious Carter and Jordyn.

After the hesitant start with the first book, I am really glad that I have continued with this series. I will say that they are pretty formulaic and you can guess what is going to happen (not in precise detail but a general outline) plot wise, but that isn't a bad thing when you really like the books.
Of all the couples so far, I think that Jake and Nick are my favourites. I enjoyed how their story progressed, their ups and down and the way Jake guided Nick through discovering his sexual submissive side and how that could still align with the fact that outside of sex, he is a total alpha male (he is a SEAL for goodness sake!). And the sex and play between Jake and Nick was so hot and steamy - I want much more of these two!
Overall, a great story that I really enjoyed reading. 5 stars.

They seem to be doing a lot of nights out and time together when they are trying to save the girl. But other than that, I like Jake and Nick a couple.

This is the fourth book in the Trident Series and while it can be read as a stand-alone it does reveal spoilers to previous books and therefore should be read in order.
Jake "Reverend" Donovan growing up was the high school quarterback with a full ride ahead of him but he held a secret inside him, he was gay. One night his dad found out and beat him and as soon as he graduated he left for the navy. After the Navy he joined up with Trident Security with the Sawyer brothers, Ian and Devon.
Nick Sawyer has his own secrets that he has kept from his family and one that involves his long standing crush on Jake. When the two get together at Kristen and Devon's wedding, Nick looks forward to coming home for 4 weeks to explore their relationship further.
Yet Jake is holding Nick at a distance and the two need to come to terms with everything around them before Jake is willing to enter any relationship. Then there are the secrets in Jake's past that are preventing him from moving forward. Will the two be able to work through things or are they better off as friends?
When Jake is brought into a case involving a girl, Alyssa Wagner, he has sworn to protect will he be able to deal with everything being thrown at him? When the case takes a dangerous turn who will Jake be able to protect and will it cost him his heart?
Wow - this book was great!! I definitely did not expect some of the stuff that came out - especially at the end and then it made sense why Jake was so guarded.
I have loved Jake through the series and this book made me love him even more. Although he could definitely be a jerk he was trying to protect himself and I understood why he really needed Nick to come out.
I really liked Nick and understood why he was hesitant to come out to his family. He was a Navy Seal and still had to protect how he felt. He was a great guy who really had feelings for Jake and wanted a fair chance for their relationship to work.
The parts involving Alyssa were so sad and I am glad that she had Jake and Trident working to protect her. It's super sad in life how evil people can be, especially those that think they are untouchable!
I'm loving this series and can't wait for the next one!!

I wanted to give this book 4 stars but it needed a bit more to get there. Nick and Jake are hot together but there are so many elements that the book missed in order to continue with their saving of Alyssa that I was left wanting. While the sex was hot hot hot, I kept wanting more of them as a couple, and we never really got that.
- No limits were really reviewed by Jake and Nick
- They needed more play time, more relationship building
- I learned more about them as employees and SEALs than I did as people and as lovers.
- We finally got a turning point in the last 10% of the book and it wasn't truly explored
