DANTE! The man had me from the first page! The moment he is introduced you can tell there is a lot to him and boy was there ever. He loves being a green beret, he loves his brothers and he is content. However, there are few things that happen that change the course of his plans. One of them he never expects and that is Penelope. She came out of out nowhere and he was instantly drawn to her.

There is so much chemistry between Dante and Penelope. I loved the two of them together. Despite growing up in different years and the 12 year age gap, they work together. They balance each other. However, it isn’t all smooth sailing and there is a lot of angst in this story.

The raw emotions and the real struggles in this story are what make it amazing. Dante has a lot he has seen and done, which has affected his life and made him who is today. Penelope also has a few struggles she has to work through and overcome. But together they can be the support they need and work through everything together.

If you’re looking for an age gap, military romance this is one to read!
