BLURB:

Some men give flowers for Valentine’s Day. Mitch gives Jake two nights in the field with men who hate his guts.

Jake Tyler got a second chance at love with Mitch Mitchelson at J.T’s Bar, and he’s not letting go of that. So when Mitch is offered a job at the covert ops agency, Jake follows him, taking the job of trainer. But it doesn’t take him long to realize he hates the work. Not only does he doubt his skills, the trainees dismiss him as little more than a bartender.

Mitch can see his husband’s unhappy, and he hates it. He knows Jake is craving action and the old team around him. So Mitch arranges for the rookie team to be sent on a retrieval exercise in the field—with Jake as the package. Jake can’t figure how being away from Mitch surrounded by men who hate his guts is going to help anything. But Mitch, as ever, has a plan.

REVIEW:

This the fourth installment in the series and is a novella just in time for Valentine’s Day. Of course, these guys don’t lead mundane lives or approach anything half assed so why should Valentine’s Day be any different than any other day for them?

In this novella, the author gives you insight into Mitch and Jake as trainers and mentors. We’ve seen Mitch as a team leader but we’ve never really seen Jake in that capacity.

While Mitch falls back into the position of trainer and team leader, Jake is struggling a bit because the soldiers in the new unit are jerks who view Jake as just a bartender instead of the experienced leader that he is. But of course, Mitch sees that his husband is unhappy and immediately goes into action to rectify the situation.

This was a really fun read and a great way for us to revisit the characters from the first book.
