Book Synopsis:
The heart always wants what it can’t have…
Duty, honor, and sacrifice.
Dedicating my life to these elements, for family and country, leaves little for myself in return.
It’s why I indulge in a no-strings hookup with a handsome stranger mere days before heading half-a-world away.
Except one night turns into a week-long fling, creating a connection at the most inopportune time.
And neither of us want it to end.
Staying in touch is easy at first, but dwindles to radio silence and distant memories as time passes.
I didn’t expect him to reemerge in my life months later, now belonging to someone else.
It should be enough for us both to walk away.
To push down this relentless, aching want.
But we don’t…
We can’t.
Because the heart always wants what it can’t have.
My Review:
Whew. I wasn’t ready. I went in to this book completely unaware of the story that awaited me. I saw the authors and it was an instant download for me. Because a part, these authors pen game is beautiful. Together I knew it’d be fire. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I spent 60% of this book swooning, and 35% having my morals tested. It’s been quite a while since a storyline has actually had me flabbergasted, but here we are. To wrap it up without giving away the goods, I absolutely loved the writing. It was beautifully done. However, I still haven’t processed my feelings around the actual story and that is absolutely not a bad thing.
For my MM romance readers, have you read this one? Let me know your thoughts if you have. If you haven’t, but plan on adding it to your TBR, let me know once you get to it!
