Special Agent James Pruitt as been in love with one man for years, the gorgeous - and possibly straight - General Derek Jacobs. All he wants is for Derek to return his love, but the general's career comes first and he keeps an emotional distance. When Derek asks James to go on vacation with him, it seems that the dream is about to come true.

Bad-ass General Derek Jacobs is finally ready to retire from the Army and run his Skull Blaster sniper team full time. He's also finally ready to take the only man he's ever loved and make him his.
But true love never does run smoothly and both men are tested along the way. Will years of longing finally be fulfilled? Or will their chance at love pass them by?

This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: male/male sexual practices, violence.

I have been blessed in this life to not only have parents that support me, but kids that do as well. I grew up in a loving but "Old School" French household. My parents worked for the airlines (TWA) so I was able to see a lot of Europe as a kid. I moved to Seattle Washington at the age of 22 and stayed there for twelve years before moving to Alaska for a little over two. Fairbanks, AK was one hell of an experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back! I spent a little over a year in South Carolina before moving back to Arizona. I then left for Kansas for five years and now reside in the South for another two years. I've been married to the military in one way or another for over half my life and wouldn't change a thing about it. Writing has become my fulltime job and I've never been so happy doing a job I love and being able to do it in my jammies. I plan on writing until I dry up and die. Hopefully, that won't happen soon!

I loved this book because the love between James and Derek has been in quite a few of the books and this was a great completion of their story. Each of the books in the series focuses on one pairing while giving out tidbits about the other members of this group of Skull Blasters and their werewolf group of friends.
Derek Jacobs is a career military man who now runs the Skull Blaster group within the government. He has tried to deny he is gay or at least not announce it to the military. But since the day he met James Pruitt, the James Bond government bigwig, he has had feelings for him. His only exploration of his true gay self was some messing around with Mateo years back. He can hardly admit to himself that he is gay.

James Pruitt is an extraordinarily powerful man in the U.S government. No one is exactly sure who he reports to. He is the top dog when it comes to the team, but when he first laid eyes on Derek over 6 years ago, his heart was taken for good. He knows who he loves, but figures it will never happen.

After Derek blew his chance in Alaska, Derek took time to think about what matters. When things go horribly wrong in Afghanistan and James is kidnapped, Derek moves heaven and earth to find James. When another assassin team rescues James from his captors, Derek hightails it to Italy to find him. But James wasn't alone in that cave. His old partner Cain was injured as well. After hearing what he tells James, Derek finally kisses James. He also promises to go on vacation with him. But trouble with the leadership has him going back on his word, and James has had enough. Will true love overcome Derek's fear and mistakes? Or will Cain change the game? If you love this series, this is one book you do not want to miss. If you haven't read the series, what are you waiting for? I am a complete addict for these guys, and these books just get better and better! There is so much more to come and I will follow this series as far as it goes. If you love alpha males, paranormal reads, and super hot m/m romance, then these are for you!
