About the author
L.A. Witt
222 books2,804 followersL.A. Witt and her husband have been exiled from Spain and sent to live in Maine because rhymes are fun. She now divides her time between writing, assuring people she is aware that Maine is cold, wondering where to put her next tattoo, and trying to reason with a surly Maine coon. Rumor has it her arch nemesis, Lauren Gallagher, is also somewhere in the wilds of New England, which is why L.A. is also spending a portion of her time training a team of spec ops lobsters.
Authors Ann Gallagher and Lori A. Witt have been asked to assist in lobster training, but they "have books to write" and "need to focus on our careers" and "don't you think this rivalry has gotten a little out of hand?" They're probably just helping Lauren raise her army of squirrels trained to ride moose into battle.

Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.
Navy SEAL Chief David Flint is in his mid 30's, near retirement age. He's constantly spewing verbal abuse and physical stress on trainee Josh Walker, who is in his mid 20's. Is he doing this for the fun of it, or just because HE CAN?... nope... it's because he feels that this man is going to be "something special". He's not wrong. It's true in all aspects...especially when their off-duty attraction starts to heat up. There is, of course, tremendous conflict...an overabundance of self-doubt...and lots and lots of angst in their romance, but it all morphs into sturdy, forceful and heroic action when they are both sent into battle.
The highlight of the story is the extraordinarily detailed raid on a North Korean prison where during the SEALs attempted to free an "asset", the nearly unthinkable happens. During the raid, Flint is badly injured. His injury is so bad that he is forced to take retirement earlier than he had planned.
I wasn't at all surprised at the details that L.A. Witt provided about the raid. She, as always, made it both exciting as well as realistic. I liked how she allowed David and Josh to come together through David's tormenting recovery period. That part will not only pull on your heart strings, but will warm you to your very soul, all the while encouraging and making it an imperative that you go out and find the two sequels...The Only One That Matters, and The Only One That Cares.
