Blurb:


He’s home to recover, not fall for a younger man …

Blaze’s time in the military unraveled him, but now he’s knitting himself back together one stitch at a time. He needs to focus on recovery, not the young omega he finds himself doting over.
Logan is back home to lick his wounds, not the hot older alpha who just happens to be his landlady’s grandson. He can see the cracks in Blaze’s armor, and he wants to squeeze his way in, but the ex-soldier has more defenses than a military base.
Until an ill-timed heat changes everything …
Blaze’s demons are a tangled mess he may never fully recover from. Can he really expect an omega who could have anyone to settle for him? Or is the only way to protect Logan to let him go?

My Review:

I liked it, it was a bit slow moving then sped up real fast so I kinda got a bit of whiplash.  We never really had much of a traditional climax.  They had a little fight then made up and that was really all there was to it.  Also, the hard parts were more glossed over than I liked. I would have loved to see more of Blaze’ struggles with PTSD, especially because it was such a intricate part of the fight.  I also would have liked to have known more about Logan’s estrangement from his career in Atlanta.  I felt like he gave up too quickly there and ran home.  Those parts gave the characters layers and I don’t think they were developed enough so they fell a bit flat. But the romance was decent.  Another Omega male that gets pregnant which was different but kinda cool because it wasn’t made to be a big deal, like it was normalized.  I’d read more in this series.
