Yeah, I have officially fallen out of love with the series. I didn't really warm up to Callie. For the first part I kept wanting to tell him to get a ducking grip, even though I could understand part of where he was coming from, not being able to trust a supposedly good thing when he saw it and feeling punishments were the only thing he deserved. He did grow on me but not enough for me to like his character as much as I did in the first two books.

Hm, I don't really buy into the military guys story telling.
Eden Finley tells a solid story and I liked Zeus. Not so sure about Callie for quite some time.

But it didn't have the subtle feeling of real ex SEALs. Also the books in this series are - imho - too focused on the protagonists's (all of the Mike Bravo ops) sex life. Which they talk about a lot.
It may be that I'm just not too keyed into being a gay man - because I'm no gay guy. And the ones I know wouldn't talk to me like e.g. the gays on Fire Island (see movie) anyway.

The thriller element was not thrillery enough - I've recently read some samples of Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooter Series. Similar romances with military and ex-military guys. Who don't seem to be fixated totally on getting off. I yet have to read more than a sample.

So... I'm undecided. It's not a bad book not at all. Zeus and Callie grew on me. The epilogue was a bit (quite a bit) too long, EF's books would often benefit from a more thorough editing of the talkative scenes imho. Therefore 3 stars.
A big plus: the cover is NOT cringeworthy as soooo often.
Far too often reading mm romances = reading in spite of the covers.
Here = Zeus on the cover made me interested in reading the book.
