We meet Wes Halsted (former Navy SEAL turned covert CIA agent) in a pickle: dressed as a nun, with a broken arm and a gunshot wound, trying to find his way of out of a monumentally botched mission. He ends up getting rescued by his brother’s paramilitary team and brought home. But what is home when you’ve been spent a good portion of your life pretending to be someone else – professionally and privately. He needs to learn to be himself again.
While recovering at his brother’s house, he meets Tom Esbeck (well, meets again, as they’ve meet before and he doesn’t remember, much to Tom’s chagrin). In the exact polar opposite of the “flying by the seat of his pants” spectrum lies super-stressed, control freak Tom. He has everything planned and it all has to go according to the plan. A surprise shirtless encounter with the spy with the hottest body on the planet was NOT on his plans…
Oh, what a great book!! It’s the best kind of opposites attract and while Wes is definitely one badass of a hunk, you can’t help falling in love with adorable (and also hunky), control freak Tom. We sure get all the military situations (What will happen to Wes career wise? Will he get over the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell attitude?) but the story is mostly a story of healing. Wes’ scars are more visible, but Tom’s are deep, and though hidden, are also still bleeding. When you learn about his past, you understand why Shannon “adopted” him… and you love him a little more.
A wonderful book about healing, self-discovery, acceptance and love. Of all kinds.
