Any ask for a dark romance on Navy Seals?! I love this author and her work. This book and her other two is just immaculate. The characters are amazing.

OMG! This book gave me such a whirlwind of emotions. I knew Creature was possessive and protective but he showed it on another level. I love Alessia. She has a little stubbornness in her and isn’t afraid to talk back especially with her little banter with Daegan. I loved that she taunted him knowing he was going to be rough and give in. She accepted his scars and didn’t shy away from it or even cringe at it. Daegan fell hard and fast after saying he wouldn’t and he did. She was his light in a world full of darkness.

Finding out who the leak was.. let me tell you it’s the least expected person EVER. The ending was such a cliffhanger and had me bawling my eyes out..if you know you know. I can’t wait to finally see what happens in the next book-hoping that the next book is Daegan and Alessia I just need them two to be reunited-no matter what happens.

Tropes:
🔥Bodyguard Romance
🔥Age Gap
🔥Slow Burn
🔥Forbidden Romance
🔥Unhinged Masked MMC
🔥Forced Proximity

Definitely recommend this book!! 1000%
