Another security expert with the Three Bears Tactical team has to protect the man he is attracted to. When Gator makes his move on Julius he doesn't expect the man to witness a crime, but welcomes the chance to get Julius close and convince him to stay.
From the blurb:
Julius Petros has spent years dazzling older men who wanted arm candy, not commitment—men who loved the sparkle but never stayed long enough to see the person underneath. Gator is nothing like them. He’s bold, disarming, and far too willing to look past the performance and into the parts of Julius no one else has bothered to see—the parts he’s tried to keep hidden.
But when Julius witnesses an abduction behind a nightclub, the danger becomes terrifyingly real—and the only person he trusts to keep him alive is Gator.
Gator is ex-military, a hand-to-hand combat expert, and far more dangerous than he lets on. He’s sharp, loyal, and lethal when it counts. And when he promises to protect Julius, he means all of him—the glitter, the drama, and the heart he’s never let anyone hold.
As danger closes in and the truth about what Julius witnessed begins to unravel, he’ll have to decide: stay hidden behind a wall of sparkle and sass, or let in the one man who might be strong enough to stand beside him.
SNik's review:
Second in series (Three Bears Tactical), but can be read as a standalone. Daddy/boy. Close proximity. Dual POV.
Finally the timing is right for security expert Gator to approach hair salon owner Julius and see if he can be the Daddy Julius wants. However, Julius witnesses a crime, and now he needs protection, and who better than the man that wants to keep him close anyway.
Even with the slightly darker criminal subject matter which drives the plot, this story is low angst when it comes to how Gator and Julius start and build their relationship. I enjoyed that both men were 100 percent interested and committed to finding out if they worked, and that they are surrounded by some terrific and supportive found family and friends was fun to read (especially a sassy pet parrot that matched Julius’s energy). Gator and Julius had immediate chemistry and no hesitation in trusting that they would last, and there was no doubt Gator would protect Julius no matter what. This series has introduced an intriguing set of characters I look forward to reading so that they all get their HEA.
Molly Otto's review:
We are back to Three Bears Tactical and it's time for Gator to get his perfect boy. Julius is one of Mika's friends that met Gator before, but time never was right for them to give it a go. When it finally falls as it should Julius witnesses someone being taken, Gator being Gator goes to protector mode. Julius is a strong independent boy who only lets people who earn it in and with TBT he is able to be free as himself and make lasting friendships. Gator has that right level of sweetheart and possessiveness that just makes you swoon for how they will be once all is settled. Was nice to see Julius being himself no matter who put him down and letting himself shine.
Enjoying with each book of this series we get to learn more of the other members of TBT but dang does that make you need more stories now. With so many members to go I cannot wait to see who is next, I know there are two couples I'd like to see happening for sure.
Heather's review:
Absolutely loving Gator's daddy energy and Julius' bratty nature! This book featured all the twists and turns of solving the crime Julius witnessed, keeping him safe and also exploring their attraction! It was the perfect blend of Daddy/boy energy and chemistry! I can't wait to see what happens next!
