An incendiary and unforgettable military romance about a woman strong enough on the outside to make it into the elite Special Forces unit, and the man strong enough to see her for who she truly is on the inside, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Rina Kent, and Elle Kennedy.

I made it into the Special Forces course, but there are three problems.

Problem number one? One of my instructors is the infamous Special Operator Beast—a man everyone fears due to his cold heart and polished career. He loathes being away from his team, which makes graduating nearly impossible for all of us, mainly for his least favorite student: me.

Problem number two? My heart skips a beat whenever I look into his cruel eyes, and my blood heats whenever he’s near me. He’s tall, scarred, and a devastatingly irresistible man who never smiles.

Oh, and problem number three? He’s my ex-boyfriend’s dad.

We try to stay out of each other’s way to make our reckless forbidden attraction fade, but fate keeps bringing us together. The military calls me The Unbreakable Soldier, but falling for Kade O’Connell might be my undoing. Military Heartfelt Solider

The story is phenomenal! One of the best I’ve read this year ! The spice is spicy , and James Cassidy is phenomenal as usual , but the utterly heartbreaking romance will have you bawling .

Heartbreaking and beautiful

Really beautifully written, two broken people trying to put the pieces of their lives back together and overcome their own demons. Perfect blend of spice, plot and excellent character development. Would have like to see a bit more of their lives together, but I'm not the author so I don't get a say! Highly recommend listening to this book. James Cassidy, good fucking lord, that man is pure perfection. I've never Listened to Janine before and she did well! I didn't find her as emotionally gripping as James, and that's okay! I'm pretty obsessed with him at the moment. Spice level 4/5 story 4.5/5

Absolutely fantastic

I had high hopes for this story, but it didn’t hit the mark. The writing was simple and the storyline was flat. Character development was lacking, drama was high and almost high school-like. The author tried to be descriptive but was unsuccessful- reused the same words constantly, felt simple and unsophisticated. I also found the sex scenes empty- like she was trying too hard to be edgy. The thoughts of the characters jumped all over the place with really random things that just didn’t flow. It was a hard listen for me. The narrators voices were nice; a good change up from the usual same voices you always hear, but they overacted at times. Overall I was disappointed and wouldn’t recommend.
