Enjoy this Steamy Military Romance from Small Town Romance author Kaci Rose...

I dated her best friend in high school. That makes her an automatic no-no. Don’t go there, right? 

Wrong. 

I can’t stop thinking about her. 

We’re friends. Best friends. She’s the one I can talk to. Guy like me, in this life, that’s priceless. Especially since I just was discharged from the military with an injury that’s changed my life.

Right? 

The only problem, I can’t stop thinking about her.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 stars. I have enjoyed seeing Mandy and Levi reconnect and grow their friendship into something more. There's another wonderful dog to steal your heart in this one and you get to catch up with how things are going for previous couples of this series and see some truly lovely bonds between men. I love the honesty to this series, life is not always easy and some days are harder than the rest, and then there are the days that come from nowhere and have you feeling that your world is crashing down around you. This shows the strength and bravery in admitting to your feelings, your fears and asking for and accepting the help you need to get by. I loved the support, understanding, acceptance, and respect in this and I loved the friends who stand by you no matter what and will never shy away from telling you the truth. This is such a good series that shows pain, sadness, anger, joy, happiness, hope and love that always shines through. This is my review of the ARC I was given.

The author has taken us back to Oakside to spend time with our friends and to meet some new ones. Mandy and Levi knew each other in high school, but now that he is at Oakside they become closer. This is a heart wrenching story that keeps you hoping for the best. Have tissues handy since the story causes your eyes to leak. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have loved this entire series from the very first book to this book. I didn't just love them I have adored them. They were military romances with lots of love and heart and I adored each couple. But this one was a really different one and while I enjoyed the couple, the troupe used I did not like and the issue between them I felt was what ruined this story for me. Levi was a guy who dated Rebecca in High School. He loved her and saw only her and she loved him as well but when he entered the military she refused to date him and so they broke up and never spoke again. Years later Rebecca's best friend from high school, Mandy, meets up with Levi at her job at Oakside while he is recovering from military injuries and they fall for each other. Now I knew this trope would be used but I didn't realise the degree that Rebecca would be able to impact this story especially as she never spoke to Levi again and she also is married and happily and is even pregnant in this story. I felt the main character, Mandy gave her too much power and while I understood why, Rebecca was not a good friend and she was a spiteful and bitter woman who had it all and still didn't want her supposed best friend to be happy. She treated her horribly in this story. And Levi in one scene played along and thats why I was not a fan of this story. If I had been Mandy, I would never have forgiven him for how he reacted. Aside from Rebecca I would have liked this couple a lot. Had it just been a troupe and Rebecca not such a big part of this story I would have really liked Mandy and Levi together. Mandy was a fantastic character in this series and maybe thats why I felt so bad for her in this story. I loved how Noah and Lexi were a huge part of Mandy's life and how we get to see more of them in this story. We even get a snippets of their POV in this story and I loved how supportive they are of Mandy and Levi. I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
