ARC Review: GORGEOUS by Kristy Marie

Breck:
My name is Brecklyn Brannon, and I’m not who I claim to be.
A year ago, I packed up my promising life in the city for a man I saw only once.
Accepting a temporary job with Cade and four blazing hot veterans should have been my way in.
Except, Cade acts like he would rather be tortured than speak to me.
He can resist all he wants, but I made a promise that I intend to keep.
Even if it costs me everything.

Cade:
I’ve watched her for over a year.
There’s something about her that seems familiar… but now that she’s living here for two weeks, I could care less what it is.
I just want her gone.
Breck is temptation personified, and some lines can't be crossed.
I'm Major Cade Jameson, and I made a promise, too.
One that I can't break.
No matter how hard IT gets.

MY REVIEW

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Major Jameson is going to dehydrate my lady parts with that broody look and sexy voice.

I cannot tell a lie... I've loved Major Cade Jameson since his first introduction in Commander in Briefs. Between him and Theo, I wasn't sure who 'commanded' more of my attention. So color me thrilled when I found out that the Major would be getting his own story.

Cade was a war veteran suffering from PTSD after losing his entire unit. He hasn't figured out how to grieve much less how to move on and to say he had a lot of psychological issues would be an understatement. However, at his core, he was still very much the man he had always been - loyal, protective, honorable and true. It was impossible not to fall for this man, broken and vulnerable though he was. He was incredibly solid and had a subtle charm that matched his overt hotness.

I loved the way the author tied together Breck and Cade's lives. They had a history that didn't really exist beyond a spark of connection. Yet it was easy to see why Breck fell for him before even meeting him. Those letters from her brother were bittersweet and found multiple ways to make my heart ache. However, they served as the perfect backdrop to the love story that grew out of it.

Getting to see the rest of the gang added just the right amount of drama and hilarity this story needed. The camaraderie between the guys will still alive and strong. Honestly, all of the men in this world are worthwhile to read. I'm not sure who will be getting their happy ending next, but I'll definitely be there to read about it!
