Trevor West loves his friends and his life in the military as a special ops team member. Though he longs to find a special someone, he refuses to jeopardize his career on something as elusive as love. Until he meets Reed, and the desires running through him threaten his hard-fought self-control.

When a dangerous mission blows their world apart, Reed doesn’t let anything stop him from jumping in. But can he convince Trevor that they belong together…that he deserves a chance at love?

Review

Reviewed by ButtonsMom2003

I enjoyed this a lot.

I honestly haven’t read a lot of books by Kindle Alexander but Always is one of my all-time-favorite MM stories and I’ve loved the newer stuff I’ve read so I was pretty happy to get a review copy of this newly edited version of their first book.

I’ve never read the original version of this story so I really don’t have any idea of what was added/changed but I enjoyed reading this version. I liked the characters and loved how shy Trevor was around Reed at first. I also loved how much Reed loved it when Trevor blushed.

Reed may have been a player at one time but after he saw Trevor and they made a connection he only had eyes for him. Trevor was such a likeable character and such a good man I couldn’t help but love him. I also loved Reed’s family and how they took Trevor into their home (before he and Reed were together) when he had no family of his own left.

There were definitely some rough patches for this couple but love won out in the end and Reed and Trevor got their well-deserved HEA.

There was one character that I’m sure we were supposed to really dislike and that was Brody. He was a real jerk but I love to see this kind of character get redemption. I definitely wouldn’t mind reading a sequel to this book so that Brody could be redeemed.

About Author

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It’s always a surprise to see what’s coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it’s true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women’s hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It’s its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her.
