ONLY THE STRONG
When he moved to Brighton, novelist Tristan Michaels was thrilled to leave his past behind. Trauma and danger had shattered his world and almost ruined his life. When everything finally seems to be settling down, he becomes embroiled in his best friend’s drama, which leads to more danger and…Vincent. And while love at first sight had been the stuff of Tristan’s books, when he meets Vincent fantasy became reality.
SURVIVE
Vincent Greyson has spent his life fighting for what’s right, first as a Navy Seal, and now as a member of the elite team known as the Sentinels. When he meets Tristan Michaels, Vincent knows his heart will always belong to this magnetic, special man. But love and patience is tested when horrible fates keep befalling Tristan, and Vincent vows that he’d do anything for his love, even leave the Sentinels.
REVIEW:
Possible trigger warnings: serial killer, stalking, assault, psycho
Man what these guys go through. I’ve always loved Vincent’s quiet way, since I met him in the beginning. He just has this way about him that shows such a quiet strength. There’s just something about the Indian way. And with him coming from a good Navajo line, it’s ingrained in him. And I love that. He doesn’t need to fill the silence with words and his actions show everything he feels. He’s just a perfect person for Tristan in every way.
With Tristan feeling so out of sorts from a psycho who has entered his life, moving to Brighton was no contest. He wanted to be near his friend Grady and when he met Vincent, it confirmed it even more. But with all that’s going on, Tristan is losing what’s left of his marbles. First with the incident in the last book, that left him almost murdered and then guilty about what he had to do. And then finding out the man he wanted away from is still coming after him. But to make matters worse, there’s another character in play that Tristan is blowing off but no one else is really taking lightly. And it’s all coming to a head as more and more things are happening. To the point, Tristan has to stay in the compound to stay safe. And Vincent will do anything he can to keep him safe. No matter what that means.
I don’t know how these guys deal with it. Well, I’d be like Tristan and going out of my mind. With the Sentinels, they’re used to it. It’s their jobs. Doesn’t mean it’s easy on them either, but they’ve learned to separate and deal with it. But the other guys aren’t used to all the kidnappings and psycho murderers and everything else that is being thrown at them. For Tristan, I would have flipped out long before. I know he’s got his writing and he’s trying to hold on to it as hard as he can. But sometimes you’ve just got to let it out and get help. Whether you want to or not. It’s horrible all that they are going through, but what I do love, is how much of a rock Vincent is for Tristan. Tristan has finally gotten to the point where he feels even remotely intimate with Vincent and that was just kissing. But no matter what Tristan is having to deal with, Vincent is there holding his hand, holding him up and giving support in the way he knows how. And it’s perfect for Tristan. And Tristan has given Vincent the one thing left he needed. A home in the man he loves.
There are some scary moments, and definitely tearful ones, but this story is just so good. The whole series is perfect and I’ve loved every one of them so far.
