In the wake of tragedy, SEAL Mark Whitley rushed stateside to act as guardian to his sister’s three young children. But a conflicting will could give custody to someone else—someone Mark remembers as a too young, too hot, wild party boy. Even after six years, Mark can’t shake the memory of his close encounter with Isaiah James, or face up to what it says about his own sexuality. Isaiah’s totally over the crush that made him proposition Mark all those years ago. In fact, he’s done with crushing on the wrong men altogether. For now, he’s throwing himself into proving he’s the best person to care for his cousin’s kids. But there’s no denying there’s something sexy about a big, tough military man with a baby in his arms. As the legal details get sorted out, their long-buried attraction resurfaces, leading to intimate evenings after the kids are tucked in. A forever future is within reach for all of them, if only Mark can find the courage he needs to trust Isaiah with his secrets—and his heart.

I love when a book can teach me something new. I had never heard the term gray ace and I had no idea what pansexuality was. This book explained it in a way that was easy to understand without feeling lecturey.
Isiah is amazing. I love his outlook on life and his struggle to be taken seriously. I love that he is so open to helping Mark explore how he feels.
Mark was such an interesting character. A man in such a masculine line of work who feels mostly asexual. It is a real issue for him and he’s given up on any type of relationship. I felt so much empathy for him. Sexuality is hard to talk about and when it’s not something others always understand, it can feel impossible.
I loved that they were finding their way with the kids and that they were so committed to putting the kids first.
I really enjoyed this book
