Off Base

Spoiler-Free Review:

There's something about Elle Kennedy's books that is just so comfy and cozy. I've read the Off-Campus series and the Briar U series, and those were both excellent! This book was no exception. Making my way through Elle Kennedy backlist, I decided to pick up the Out of Uniform Series. This series has undergone some republishing recently, so some of the titles and the order is a bit different that originally published. This story follows Jen, a young woman trying to find her purpose while dealing with familial pressures, and Cash, a Navy SEAL who has a hard time talking to women and is a bit of a grump. When Jen's ex begins stalking her, her brother decides that she needs better protecting. Enter Cash! This is a forced proximity romance with amazing and funny banter and grumpy/sunshine vibes. I've read nine of Elle Kennedy's books so far, and this (in my opinion) is the spiciest. There is steam and spice throughout the book, and it ranges from fun and playful to extremely romantic. I can't wait to continue with this series and see what Seth's story has in store for us. This is an adult romance, 18+ for language, sexual content, and themes.
