Adult romance. Wonderful characters, but beware, there is some cheating. Nice fade-to-black sex scenes (I'm not always in the mood for the explicit, so this was nice) and a story that was about something: relationships, expectations, family, etc.

I am not always a sentimental sap, but this book just had me sniffling the whole way through. This is the story of two guys, one a top military strategist and the other a hotshot helicopter pilot, who’ve been in love since forever (but secretly) and had each other’s back in conflicts all over the wo...

I don't get it.DNF at 122 pages of 192.Because it's sooooo boooooring... I don't even complain about the cheating thing (one of the MC was married to a woman). It's one of the most DEAD books I've ever read! There is something called chemistry, you know?Well... Here that doesn't exist.At 20 pages I ...

Sarah Black knows how to deliver some great, nuanced writing and storytelling. Add to that wonderful characters, and you arrive at this heart-felt and entertaining story. We have two ex-military guys who met in the 1970’s and worked together on the battlefield, well into the days of DADT. During his...

Loved this very mature m/m romance. I really was impressed by the realistic handling of the fact the one MC was married and had children while being in a long-term relationship with the man he loved. Both of the MCs were young in the 70s when being out was not much of an option, particularly for two...

There's so much to love about this book. In a genre (romance) where youth and beauty are damn near fetishized, we have two protagonists who have retired after long military careers. Fifty-two and forty-eight years old. I can't begin to say how positively that colors my impression of the author--she ...

I liked this book very much. Mostly.This review will contain spoiler and a long rant...It was a very matter-of-factly told love story about an established couple which hasn't been officially together and out because of military careers. The depths of the mutual affection was very palpable and there ...

3.5 because this woman CAN write.This was a difficult book to rate. I liked a lot of things, and others, not so much. For starters, this is not my favorite book from Sarah Black. I have my favorites, and this one isn’t one of them. I also wanted to be fair in my review of this book even though I was...

4.75, pushed up for compelling writing. Much has been said about this book , so from me it'll just be, I liked it. I could totally relate to the men, but to Martha too. Love can and will hurt--the strength of this book is showing that it's worth it.

This was a really enjoyable read. I liked that the guys were a little older and let's be honest, a bit stuck their military ways. It's not a terribly smutty book, lots of fade to black. The story telling and conflict were pretty tight and kept me well enguaged. I did wonder at the ease of the marria...
