At first I wasn’t sure how I’d like this story I was a bit frustrated with Mark, and how he treated Hunter until I remembered this story is set in 1994, and his fears were much more real, and the danger more immediate in those days especially considering his family history.

I thought this would be his...
4.5 or so, rounding it up to 5Loved it. I loved Mark's fear, and how Hunter was so understanding of it based on his own past experiences. But also how Hunter got frustrated at times, too, but didn't push Mark beyond what he had to for his own self-protection. Thanks to having read Desert Falcon firs...
