I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Pullen's "Saved By Two" is one of my all time favorite comfort romances and I was soo excited to read this! Can say this book didn't disappoint π«Άπ»
It took me a bit to warm up to all the guys, especially Jax, but towards the end I loved them all. They all have different relationships with Lily, some developing more quickly, some less, but that is something I really appreciated and I feel we see too rarely in RH.
There wasn't tons of smut but a) the smut that was there was goood π₯΅π₯΅ and b) if I had to choose between dozens of smut scenes and proper relationship development, I'll always choose the latter.
All the characters still have loads of backstory (or at least I think so) that we've yet to discover, though we did get hints. I wish we already knew more about what the guys went through on their last deployment but I guess I have to be patient π
As this is the first in a series (yay!) we didn't yet get a conclusion to the stalker storyline either and imo this was more of a book to really introduce everyone (after all there are 5 MCs...) instead of a "proper" romantic suspense but I'm hopeful that's what we'll get in the sequel! I'm ready for some more action π
Thanks to the author for the free copy and I'll be looking forward to what comes next!
