‘Almost' by Sean Michael
Lane lost his legs while saving his unit overseas. It’s been two years and he’s doing his best to come to terms with things, including the fact that he dumped his lover to free the man up from being stuck with a gimp for the rest of his life. Luckily, Lane inherited his Gramps’ cottage — it just needs some renovations to make it wheelchair friendly. He’s determined to make the best of what he’s got.
Hammer was one of the men Lane saved… and his lover while they were in the army together. He let Lane drive him away back when the man first got hurt, but now he’s hunting Lane, determined to make Lane the one who almost got away. Will Lane be able to see past his legs far enough to realise Hammer’s in it for the long haul?
Review:
"You're my Laney. And I'm fucking taking you back." That was the moment when I became fully invested in this story and these two men. Fabulous story about a second chance and dealing with the realities of life when things break bad. Hammer walked away from Lane once but he isn't taking no for an answer this time. A stubborn soldier is exactly what Lane needs in his life. Heartwarming and emotional. I loved it.

‘Who Dares Wins' by Lily Harlem
Waiting for my SAS husband Jack to come home safe and sound is always a gut-wrenching, heart-twisting time. I have no idea where he is, what jungle swamp he may be lying out in or desert he might be marching across.
So naturally when he returns to me, our emotions can't fail to run hot and our lust for each other cranks up to sky-high levels. But the one thing about Jack is he lives for the extreme and seizes the moment. I really should have known what would come of me telling him my wildest fantasies.
Review:
Hot, Hot Hot. Ken's fantasies come true when his Master and partner of eight years brings home a fellow soldier for a little homecoming fun.
I don't know if there is a book about how Jack and Ken meet and fall in love but I for one would LOVE to read it. Great chemistry between the three men and I am thinking a holiday reunion story would be smokin.

‘An Act of Duty' by Elizabeth Coldwell

‘Trusting the Army Captain' by Noelle Keaton
Ambitious army captain, Patrick Bosworth, is eager to advance in his career so that he can live up to his family’s distinguished legacy. But having been passed over for promotion to major twice already, Patrick fears his career has stalled.
When a superior office suggests a way to get the promotion that involves gathering information on a fellow army captain in the Medical Corps, Patrick reluctantly agrees to participate. He regrets the assignment almost immediately, especially when he falls for Craig, the guy he’s supposed to be investigating.
When he forms a passionate and intense bond with Craig, Patrick finds it difficult to separate where his professional obligations end and his personal feelings begin. After working for so long to prove himself a worthy member of his accomplished military family, Patrick has to decide if finally finding the love of his life is worth sacrificing advancement in the army, or even giving up his career itself.
Review:
Trying to live up to the family name almost cost Patrick the most important thing. His relationship with Craig started on a lie but the feelings that grew from that first night were very real. Once Craig learns the truth can they ever really get past it?
I really enjoyed this story and would have liked for it to have been longer. This is the first book by this author for me but I will be checking out more.

'Letters to a War Zone' by Lucy Felthouse
When lonely insurance broker, Bailey, gets himself a new hobby, he ends up exchanging letters with a war zone. But he’s not expecting what happens next...
Bailey Hodgkiss is lonely and dissatisfied with his boring life as an insurance broker. In an attempt to shake things up a little, he signs up to a website to write to serving soldiers. He’s put in touch with Corporal Nick Rock, and over the course of a couple of letters, the two of them strike up a friendship. They begin to divulge things that they perhaps wouldn’t have said in person, including their preference for men.
Nick encourages Bailey to add more interests to his life. As a result, Bailey picks up his forgotten hobby, photography, and quickly decides to team it up with his other preferred interest, travel.
Booking a holiday to Rome is his biggest gesture towards a more exciting existence, and he eagerly looks forward to the trip. That is, until Nick says he’s coming home on leave, and it looks as though their respective trips will prevent them from meeting in person. Is there enough of a spark between them to push them to meet, or will their relationship remain on paper only?
Review:
