I received this as an ARC from the author Brynne Asher. (FYI - I don't universally give 5 stars even if it's an ARC.)
Blackburn (Special Forces: Operation Alpha)
5 stars and now in my favorites!
No triggers!!!
H - He's jealous/possessive - yay! He was an alpha-hole before the book began but not in the book.
h - She's not tstl and not a b*tch . I really liked her.
First person POV with POV's from H and h
HEA
2 epilogues
Steamy open door sex but it takes time to get there. I can't remember the exact % on my kindle but I can check if someone needs that info.
This is a shorter book but to me it was perfect! It didn't have that shorter book "feel" to it. It didn't have boring "filler" scenes. The book begins a few months after the h began working for the H's company. They are in South America and ambushed. They escaped but they are then on foot in the jungle. This puts them in a survival situation and I loved it! They weren't in the survival situation very long (unfortunately) but it makes sense given the brevity of the book.
There's great sexual tension between the H and h and some fan-freaking-tastic lol moments. I loved it !
Here's a brief excerpt of one lol moment. The H was struggling to keep his erection under control...
" "She lifts a shoulder, causing her tit to rub against me. If I don’t let go of her soon and get my mind on something else, I’ll be forced to steal a cat from Aunt Libby and carry it around with me at all times. It’ll be my very own cock-softening, taxidermied pussy. I’ll name it Limp Dick. Even it might not do the trick because right now—I’m waging a war against my cock and the more she moves, the harder it is to not become …well …harder." "
LOL!! I loved reading from the H's POV. I loved his thoughts about the h and his jealousy. When the H thought about the guy who gave the h her first kiss....
"It was then I decided I efffing hated Cody Worthington and, should he ever cross my path, I might send him an email that would fry his hard drive faster than he put the moves on my sweet Lillian back in the day."
I loved how focused the H was on the h. I love how much he wanted her. I loved how alpha and in control he was.
The h to the H...
" “You didn’t sleep at all last night. I should go to the sofa to sleep, since I snore and all,” I say.
His eyes open and then narrow on me just as quickly. “If you even think about leaving my arms, Lillian, we’re gonna have issues." "
The H to the h on the plane back to the US.....
" "I wanted to get this out of the way last night but she was devastated by the news of her grandmother. It wasn’t the right time. “If you ignore me and pretend like our time in Nicaragua didn’t happen, I’ll be pissed. It did happen and it’s f*cking real.” "
There's really nothing I didn't like. I do recommend that you read a few pages of the free preview to see if you like the author's writing style. I love her style! (I've heard some mention it's KA-ish. I love KA so it works for me.)
