Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

Saint breaks from the kiss. “You taste exactly how I imagined,” he growls. “Like sarcasm and poor choices?” “Like a mistake I’m making ten years too late.”

This book is such an easy and entertaining reread, and I think that was my third read/listen. Iris and Saint are very cute together, and I love that they used to be rivals and sort of enemies, but without actual hatred or anything like that. They just butted heads in boot camp while secretly crushing on each other. They end up on the same black ops/militia team, and hilarity (and hotness) ensues.

Iris is 100% OTT as a character, but he’s so sweet and kind as well that it doesn’t bother me. Even his frequent talk about sleeping with almost anything and anyone didn’t really bother me, lol. That’s just Iris. He enjoys people, but he always wanted that one person who could deal with his job and be there for him at the end of the day when he got home. He finally finds that in Saint, even though it’s hard to believe they could ever be right for each other, lol. Sometimes opposites really do attract. Saint is exactly that. The goodest boy. A loyal sweetheart who deserves all the good things.

“Race you home?” I say to Saint. “Last one home bottoms tonight.” “Deal.”

There’s plenty of plot and action, and a lovely romance. Can definitely recommend if that’s your jam.

“We’re going home!” “Home is code word for sex, right?” Ricky asks. “Please. I am a gentleman. I never kiss and tell.” Iris turns but then quickly looks over his shoulder. “But I do fuck and blurt. Yes, that was code word.”

I didn’t think it was possible to love someone as much as I crave forever with you.”
