~He was her salvation, she was his oblivion.~
Penelope
My entire world shattered the day my mom’s twenty-one-year long lie blew up in her face.
If only that was the end of our family secrets and deceit.
Taken, manipulated, and used as a pawn in a political game, I didn’t think life could get more complicated.
That was until I ran into Dante again.
Once my lover, then my salvation, his wolfish eyes now look through me as if none of that ever mattered.
Dante
The day I left the Green Berets was the day I failed my comrades. There was only so much bullshit, loss, and destruction one could take, and I was foolish to think it would end when I hung up my uniform for good.
When Penny crashed into my life for the second time, not only did she have me torn between our past and the present, she created one helluva problem…
I want so much more than the contract with her father allows.
“Jailbait? Why am I now called jailbait?” I ducked and leaned into her space. “Because you make me so frustrated I want to both murder you and fuck you.
ARC REVIEW ➞
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!
