Typically I read series that flow together a little more obviously, so the disconnectedness is probably what contributed to me reading the series all out of order when I don’t typically do that. Like, that guy who was a hookup of that protagonist back in book 3 just became the hero of book 7 kind of connected. The series is centered on SEALs stationed at the base on Coronado, but the stories are pretty loosely connected. I read this series completely out of order, and that was absolutely the right choice for me. Overall: I’m not always one for the military romance (though more me than Holly or Ingrid), but this series totally did it for me.

Jeff: We are excited to welcome back to the show, Annabeth Albert. Plot: Navy SEALs navigate queer love in a macho-type workplace while dealing with work-related hurdles and personal dramas hear, understand, or perceive: to miss a point.

Some of it is kinky funtimes, too.Ĭharacter Chemistry: The chemistry between the protagonists largely worked for me (I mean, I binged this series HARD, so something was working) Except for the book with the demisexual protagonist, which is a slower burn, these guys have a lot of sex. Overall, this was just great friends to lovers romance.Heat Factor: It’s pretty sexy. The tension made sense considering Ben’s commitment phobia and lack of belief in love, and Maddox’s fear of not being enough. While there is a lot of tension between these two at times, it was still a great story and progression of their relationship. I did like his dedication to making Maddox happy though. Ben was a very focused man who focused his life solely around his military career so his character doesn’t feel as complex as Maddox. I liked Maddox and his determination to embrace what makes him happy, even if it hurt Ben’s feelings. Maddox also has the fear that monogamy won’t be enough for Ben since he previously had an open relationship. There was a lot of tension and fear that they would ruin their friendship. The beginning of this story was filled with flashbacks showing what led to the awkwardness between these two. They work together on the same SEAL team and have spent the past two years as roommates, But neither of them can ignore their growing feelings for each other.īen and Maddox’s relationship was a sweet friends to lovers story.

Maddox and Ben have been friends for years.
