It's a fast paced small town ex-military second chance romance with a best friend’s little sister trope. Toss in some action, secrets, some unidentified danger lurking and a dirty talking protective dominant alpha hero that knows how to bring the spice and you have a great binge worthy book.Ford Ledger is a possessive, protective, jealous, sexy in a mountain man way alpha male that is swoon worthy. Ford and his best friend Buck enlisted into the military, serving together. All until Buck dies. For years Ford has fought his attraction, his need, his want and his craving for Buck’s little sister Indigo Buchanan. Now out of the military and back to the mountains of Montana, Ford is determined to uncover some truths and clear Buck’s name. With his band of military brothers he creates a security company and works together to run their own investigation Until a storm pushes the woman he’s fought so hard to avoid into his property and back into his life..Indi.Indigo Buchanan is a strong, sassy, independent heroine who works as a wilderness guide. She is still hurt by what happened between her and Ford a few years prior. With the complicated emotions she keeps to herself, she does her best to avoid Ford.When danger comes to Indigo’s front steps. That’s all it takes for Ford to go into protective mode. Wanting to keep his promise to his best friend that he will keep sister safe. It's a battle of will. But being near her only strips his resolve. Turning all the angst and tension between the two into some smutty scenes with heavy steam.I loved it. Just that simple. As a veteran myself, I appreciate authors who do at least the most basic of basic research on terms before writing a military romance or novel. It gives it more of a realistic feeling to the story. I was drawn in and binged the book in one sitting. Wanting to know what, who, why??.. I guess some of the unanswered questions will continue onto the next books in the series and I am all for it.Not only was the plot good, the story had an easy flow to it that makes it easy to get caught up in the reading. But the supporting characters that I know will be able to get to know better as the series progresses. From the band of brothers, to the female deputy, to Ford’s grandmother and the newest female recruit to Alpha Mountain.Steamy, page turner, fun, action and can’t wait for the next book.I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Thank you for your feedback

    This is an amazing book full of characters you'll fall in love with. Full of passion, action and a little mystery. A definite must read if you like reading about Navy Seals and how they will do anything for their friends and will do anything to win the heart of the women they love.

    Indi (Blue) has crushed on her brother's best friend, Ford,forever. An embarrassing encounter when young, her brother's death as a dishonored Navy Seal, and Ford's own dishonorable discharge from the Seals brings them back together. No matter the hatred she feels and his promise to his best friend, they can not stop the attraction. The story is fast-paced, engaging, and keeps the reader enthralled in not only the evolving romance but the mystery surrounding her brother's death. Highly recommend.

    I liked every aspect of the book. Once I started reading it, it was hard to stop. The twists and turns will keep you engaged for sure.

    I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in spicy scenes, best friends sister, or military.

    I gave it a 4 because even though it keeps you engaged the whole time, I don't know if it is the best book I have ever read. But it is a very good book.

    I was hooked from the beginning to the end. The relationship between Indigo and Ford was amazing. I mean, the tension just kept me hooked to every single page. Plus, the detailed way in which you described the surroundings, the military experience, was phenomenal. I definitely see myself reading this repeatedly!!!!

    Storyline is good. no inconsistencies. characters are sweet and not immature. The girl is not a weak and fragile little thing. She has a past and some self-estime issues but she is still a strong woman. No cliffhanger and it's spicy.
