BLURB:
Petty Officer Bacon, a navy SEAL and ace sharpshooter, has been on the front lines of more than his fair share of dangerous ops. Yet when a minor injury relegates him to the beta team, he’s tasked with what may be his riskiest assignment yet: the silver fox journalist he’s babysitting is the hottest, most charismatic man he’s ever encountered.
Award-winning journalist Spencer Bryant may have been named one of Pride magazine’s most eligible bachelors of the year, but he’s not looking to change his relationship status. He’s a consummate professional who won’t risk his ethics or impeccable reputation by getting involved with a source. Even a sexy-as-hell military man. But while Spencer can resist his physical attraction to Bacon, he has less control over his emotions—especially when the mission goes sideways and the two men are trapped alone.
Getting out of the jungle alive turns out to be easy compared to facing the truth about their feelings for one another back in the real world. And whether or not they can build a future is a different story altogether.
REVIEW:
Annabeth Albert excels at giving us interesting and unique characters in every book in the Out of Uniform series. Bacon is a dedicated Seal through and through who has a solid relationship with his teammates but is forced to take a back seat on the latest mission when he becomes a babysitter for the journalist who is tagging along. Spencer is the first journalist ever allowed to embed in a Seal team but once out there it becomes apparent that things aren’t going to go according to plan.
This is a slow burn story and in all honesty the first third of the book was too slow for me entirely. Stick with it though because when the pace finally picks up and the story moves away from the mission side of things Bacon and Spencer’s relationship really lights up the sky. Once Spencer is sent home and no longer part of the team both men see a possibility of ‘something’ but I’m sure neither one of them realises how much it will take over their lives. There is a lot of honesty in this story which really lays down the foundations for both of them and even when things don’t go so well for them there was never any drama – both men are mature and determined.
It’s always nice to meet up with characters in a series you are invested in but Tight Quarters could easily be read as a standalone if you are new to the series. Bacon and Spencer were an absolute pleasure and when all their battles are fought they turned out to be a pretty perfect couple.
