REVIEWS:
Recruited by Brenda Cothern
This may have been my least favorite of the whole bundle. It was very hard to follow. It was almost like being dropped into the middle of a story.
Michael Knight is a seasoned cop with an unfortunate name. All his police career taunted about his name and he’s about at the end of his rope. After being taunted one too many times he decides he’s ready to make a change.
Aaron Slade has been sent to recruit Michael to a new law enforcement agency. Having witnessed what Michael goes through he’s not surprised at all by his frustration and need for a change. What he is surprised about his is attraction to him.
There is no HEA here….there’s really not even a HFN. This is strictly a friends with benefit situation and that’s not bad if that’s what you’re looking for. If this story wasn’t so scattered I’d have enjoyed it more.
RATING: 
The Day by Whitley Gray Last Easy
This story would have been so much better if it were longer. This is one of those stories that falls victim to the short story/anthology Demon. I don’t find any fault in the writing as I actually have enjoyed this author in the past.
Kurt Crandall just got accepted into SEAL training. Out at a bar on one of his last nights of “freedom” he has a chance encounter with a handsome man who captures his attention. Not long after the handsome stranger disappears.
Chance brings them back together again but a homophobe tears them apart.
These two had a lot going against them but watching the attraction build and seeing them come together again was worth it in the end.
RATING: 
Love Undercover by E.M. Leya
I found this one to be a tad unbelievable but I think that’s only because it was dirty and wrong but also…hot.
Nick and Tony went to the police academy together. There was an immediate attraction and not long after it involved into a relationship of sorts.
Deciding to focus on their careers they lose contact and years pass.
Deep undercover, Nick is nose deep in a very illegal motorcycle gang when Tony is thrown at him again. These two I loved together no matter how unbelievable. They were sweet, caring, compassionate then HOT, and dirty.
This was a good one….and unexpected….!

Hand to Hand by H.L. Holston and Eleanor Bruce
This one gave me whiplash but I liked it.
Gavin has wanted Jack since the formation of their SEAL team and Jack has wanted Gavin. After Jack is hurt on a mission they both are able to put things into perspective.
One minute they’re hot and heavy. They next minute they think it’s best if they keep it professional. One minute there’s a no sex rule, the next there’s penis, tongues, and fingers everywhere.
I don’t know why but the dynamic sort of worked for me plus I liked these two together…or whatever they were….
RATING:
One More Time by Ethan Stone
This was the “awwwwwwwwww” story in this bundle. This was damn sweet with an added GFY element.
Will Jacoby never imagined himself as gay but for some reason he’s finding himself undeniably attracted to his neighbor, Brannon. And the feeling is without a doubt reciprocated.
After tragedy hits Brannon’s life, Will finds himself more and more drawn to Brannon. Despite the age difference these two embark on a very sweet relationship.
Great writing and a very sweet story.

Training Buds by Sara York
This one was just ok for me. It’s almost like the climax happened when Dixon’s husband cheated and everything else was mediocre.
Its obvious Kyle is battling his sexuality pretty hard and it’s also very obvious why he’s going to so much trouble. So, when the big homophobic tirade happened, I wasn’t surprised.
I liked these two battling their attraction. The simmering passion was nice but that was really all that interested me. I also appreciated Dixon’s parent’s acceptance and love that always makes me smile.
Just ok for me but not bad.
