Crashed Out by Tessa Bailey

5.0

I loved this book!!! Sarge was the quintessential Tessa Bailey hero...the guy who knows what he wants and goes after it! I'm not usually a fan of big age gaps in my romances, but found that I really enjoyed this older woman/younger man trope. For me, Sarge came across as very mature, very confident in who we was and what he wanted out of life, and so he seemed so much older than his actual age. Jasmine, despite being the "older woman", was the complete opposite. She hasn't yet found her place in life, definitely lacks the confidence to feel secure in her choices, and comes across as much mor emotionally immature. I think it was this dynamic that made the older woman/younger man trope okay for me. Had Sarge come off as the emotionally immature one, it just wouldn't have worked.
All this being said, if you're a Tessa Bailey fan, this book is going to rock your world. Lots of angst, lots of anticipation, some seriously hot dirty talking (totally had me blushing!), and a cast of characters that make you wish you were part of their group in real life, all add up to a highly satisfying read! I can't wait to see what Tessa Bailey has in store for us with the rest of the series!
