“Trust. Such a powerful word. His chest felt heavy and full, as if the fear of disappointing Renzo was a palpable thing. For the first time, he wanted more than just to show Renzo a good time - he wanted to earn that trust, wanted to give Renzo a reason to want a repeat.”
Thank god this didn't suck! It's not that I was expecting it too, but there was a small part of me that was worried that one of my favourite series was going to end with a meh final installment. I can happily say that it did not!
The final book in Annabeth Albert's Out of Uniform series follows Canaan, who works at a smoothie shop on base and is going to school to be a nurse, and Renzo AKA Rooster, who has just applied for a transfer to move closer to his worried family. Renzo is a frequent customer to the smoothie shop and a series of events lead to him agreeing to pretend to be Canaan's boyfriend when he goes on a camping trip with his former band mates.
As you may have guessed from the rating in comparison to the others in the series, this one wasn't my favourite, but it wasn't bad by any means. For some reason the odd-numbered books never quite get to five stars and I can't figure out why, but I still genuinely love every book in this series.
This book has all the good stuff from previous books - likable characters, a relationship you want to root for, fun cameos from characters throughout the series, fantastic sex scenes, and some cheesiness. Honestly, if you've read any of my reviews for previous books, then you know what I like about this book. It doesn't stand out from the pack, and I mean that in the most positive way possible.
I wouldn't recommend jumping onto the series with this book, but even if you've just read a few of the others in the series I think you'll enjoy this.

On one hand, this is the last book in the series and that makes me sad. But on the other hand, this has the greatest romance trope known to mankind aka FAKE DATING
