This time around we have Petty Officer Bacon, whom we've met in prior books, and Spencer Bryant, renowned journalist and smoking hot silver fox. Bacon became a SEAL to escape small town bigotry and hate. He's found a home with his brothers but he also struggles with their casual gay slurs as he identifies as PAN. Spencer's hopes of becoming a dancer were dashed by injury but he's forged a successful journalist, one who writes books and appears on NPR. His latest assignment is to be embedded with a SEAL Team. His handler? Bacon, of course.This was a relatively angst free story between two men who despite their outward differences are smart enough, patient enough, to get to know each other beyond the surface and guess what? They have more in common than not. That and mad attraction for one another, smoking sexual compatibility and we're in romance heaven. I loved the relationship dynamics, how Bacon is the one to push for it in spite of being the SEAL, how Spencer gets to take care of Bacon, and how they just fit.
