I am struggling to put my thoughts in order so I can explain why this book is so badly written.
The plot of this book is 3 people fall in love with each other, they go through some struggles and come out on the other side better than ever. It's a small town, miliary MMF romance.
However.
The way this book is written leaves a lot to desire. The writing is choppy, naive and in places nonsensical. These MMCs are supposed to be military men, hardened by the war and yet at one point, Skylar exclaims: "Yes! I love naked kisses!"
The overwhelming feel of the books is overtly sweet. If the chapters haven't been tagged with whose perspective it is, I'd struggle to differentiate between the voices because they all come out the same.
I also absolutely hate "honey" as a pet name. I just can't....there isn't a world where that nickname is sexy.
Quotes that made my ick factor fill up:
"I did it, Brook. I'm finally making love to you. Is it alright? Do you like this?"
"Boing! (That's the sound I hear in my head when my giant stiffy makes an instantaneous appearance)."
"...I switch the overhead light for optimum illumination."
And last, but not least....
"...poured a quart of hot j*zz into Brooke's body."
I just... I tried, alright? But clearly, this book ain't for me.
Thank you Netgalley for and advanced copy of the book.
