Talon

Brothers in Arms in Alaska #4

by Kali Hart

Macy

I never expected to see Talon again.
After the way we left things, I figured it was for the best.
Until my brother begs me to track down my ex-husband and get him to come to his wedding.
I try everything I can think of, but all my summons go ignored.
Which leaves me with only one choice: go to Alaska and drag Talon on a plane.
It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t want to see me.
Or that he’s refusing to go to the wedding.
The old feelings—and flames—ignite immediately.
We might irritate each other, but we can’t seem to keep our hands to ourselves.
The chemistry between us has always been off the charts.
I could so easily fall in love again with the man who drives me up the wall.
But I’ve kept a secret from Talon.
One I know he won’t forgive.

Talon

Macy and I have been married and divorced twice.
After the way things ended the last time, I never expected to see her again.
I tried to move on.
Tried to find someone who made me feel even half of what I always felt with the woman who drives me wild—and completely crazy.
When Macy tracks me down in Three Rivers and tries to strong-arm me into attending her brother’s wedding, I’m not happy to see her.
But the more persistent she becomes, the less I can resist the pull between us.
The chemistry is undeniably sizzling.
I could easily fall for the only woman I’ve ever loved—again.
But her secret might just destroy our last chance at happiness.

The six of us made a pact. We’ve survived basic together, shared duty stations, and gone to war together. But the needs of the Army have separated us multiple times. That’s why we agreed that when each of us got out, we’d each settle down in the same mountainside town of Three Rivers. It was a favorite place to get away on holiday weekends when the six of us were stationed together in Alaska, and as veterans now we can’t imagine anywhere better. A place filled with fresh mountain air, friendly people who are there when you need them but happy to keep to themselves when you don’t, and unexpected love none of us saw coming.

Sweet & steamy short story insta-love romance with an older mountain man and younger curvy woman. NO cliffhangers. NO cheating. Guaranteed HEA.

I am really enjoying Ms. Kali Harts's stories. This one is for sure a record. Not only do you get a second chance, but this is a third chance. These two have been married 2xs already. Now she is there for her brother. She is to bring him back for the wedding of her brother. I love how these two interact. It is rather funny what she did when she saw him face to face. You will be laughing along with a few other emotions in this story. The Question is since she has left him before will she do it again or will these two get a HEA?

Talon and Macy are given a third chance at love. Both still love each other but only Macy knows the real reason they split the last time. This was an engaging emotional read. The characters had hot chemistry together and were meant to be together. Awesome read! I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[Nadja]

You know what they say about 3rd time being the charm 😉 Macy had me laughing so hard 😂 Short novella.

[Robin]

The further I get into this collection, the better it gets. Talon and Macy’s story is spicy and heartbreaking. Thank goodness for HEAs.

I am really enjoying this series. Talon is the fourth book in the Brothers in Arms in Alaska series. Talon and Macy have been married twice and are given a third chance at love. Both still love each other but only Macy knows the real reason they split the last time. The first time they were married was at eighteen. A year later they were divorcing because they realized they were too young for marriage. The second time they were married Macy ended it by walking out and that was three years ago. She had her reasons and none of them were about something Talon did but about something she could not do. Neither had planned on ever seeing the other again but When Macy's brother Elliott is getting married in Maui, Hawaii he wants his best friend Talon to be there.

Talon married his wife twice and each time she leaves him. He absolutely adored his wife but she tore his heart out of his chest. Macy has gone to Alaska to find her ex husband, Talon as her brother is getting married and wants him there.

I think my favourite part was the pink fuzzy handcuffs. Can't wait to read the next book in the series, Brooks.

Short and sweet / novella / minimal conflict / palate cleanser

Fuzzy Pink Handcuffs are just the start!

Talon is the fourth book in the Brothers in Arms in Alaska series and right from the pink fuzzy handcuffs this one had me laugh so hard I was crying. The is a third chance love story about Macy and Talon Roark. This couple was destined to be together no matter what. But they could just not quite make it work the first two times. The first time they were married was at eighteen. A year later they were divorcing because they realized they were too young for marriage. The second time they were married Macy ended it by walking out and that was three years ago. She had her reasons and none of them were about something Talon did, but about something she could not do. Neither had planned on ever seeing the other again but When Macy's brother Elliott is getting married in Maui, Hawaii he wants his at one time best friend Talon to be there. The only issue is that Talon has gone off the grid since leaving the Army. Macy has been tasked with trying to find him and get him to the wedding in time. She has finally tracked him down to Three Rivers, Alaska. After flying into Anchorage she gets a car and drives to the little town, hoping to find him at his place and getting him back on a red-eye that night. But things don't quite go to plan and then they really go off the rails when her plan of pink fuzzy handcuffs and an unquestionable smokin' hot passion that will never die down between them get added to the mix. Talon cannot keep away from Macy and she cannot keep away from him. But when he asks the one question she does not want to answer will the truth finally kill them or will it bring them back together even stronger?

Yep I absolutely loved this one. Macy and Talon are just so funny together whether they are fighting like the Hatfield's and McCoys or literally burning up the pages as they get their freak on. It is a definite love hate relationship between them but one that will endure to the end of time. This book is a definite RECOMMEND READ!!!

[Char]

This story will grab you at the first page - it is absolutely fantastic! Macy is traveling to Three Rivers Alaska to find her ex husband Talon for her brother. Macy’s brother is getting married and wants Talon at the wedding. Talon is a hunky, hot, ex military and is in love with Macy. He is fighting fires and living in Three Rivers with a group of ex military buddies. Macy is sassy, feisty, strong willed, curvy and sexy as sin. Macy is doing this favor for her brother. When these two get together you will feel the sizzle! The characters are dynamic and explosive. They just click. They have steam, sizzle, electricity, and are oh so hot. You will not be able to put it down. There is drama, lust, passion, and yes,love for a third time.... oh, so-o-o good. It is fast paced and a quick little read. I really thought the characters were well matched - they made the story come alive! I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

After making a promise to her brother, Macy is headed to Three Rivers to track down Talon, her twice ex husband, so he could attend her brother's wedding. When Macy finds him at The East Fork, she slaps a pair of handcuffs to his and her wrist. Tension and chemistry between this two is off the charts. Just from the first meeting you can feel the heat from the words of each line. (needing fan and a drink).

Macy and Talon passion and attraction is just as strong if not stronger as the first time that meet. The reason she left the second time is because she found out that she could not give him the future they always talked about. Now Talon is not willing to let go, no matter what.

Grab this hot and steamy addition to an amazing series and get lost in the tale. .

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Talon is the fourth book in the ‘’brothers in arms in Alaska’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Talon and Macy have been married to each other twice already and it never worked. When Macy’s brother requests Talon’s attendance at his wedding, its her job to get him there. Sparks fly between them but will they give love with each other a third try?
The chemistry between Talon and Macy is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

[Rose]

I liked this short story. It was entertaining and enjoyable for the most part. The characters were interesting and likable but also frustrating at times. Macy really irritated me with the way that she made decisions that affected her and Talon without consulting him. Macy and Talon had been everything to each other, so much so that they married each other twice. Unfortunately, they also got divorced twice. Macy arrived in Alaska to track Talon down so that he could attend her brother’s wedding. Talon and her brother had been friends a long time and had even been deployed together. The feelings that they had for each other were still there beneath the surface ready to ignite. I liked the way that the story ended. I recommend reading this book because my issue with Macy may not be an issue for you.

[Angelica]

The story was about Talon reuniting with her ex-wife after leaving him for years. The plot was good, and the steamy scenes are hot. The characters can't deny the chemistry and passion despite of not being with each other. I love how the story reminded me of the lyrics "we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again" of the song "Just Give Me A Reason". I realized how this wonderful this book is because despite of the pain of Macy, Talon didn't lost his hope for they can still regain what they had lost, because their love is worth it, and it's worth the try for a third time for their HEA.

[De Anna]

A lot of horn honking.
A wonderful story. Talon is still in love with his twice ex-wife, Macy. The last time she left him it tore him apart. She is everything to him. Macy never told Talon the real reason she was leaving him. She has a secret that could devastate him. Macy still loves Talon but, thinks it’s better if they’re not together. When she tells him her secret will Talon still want to be with Macy? Welcome back to Three Rivers.

[Tima]

Talon and Macy, the lead characters, have always had explosive chemistry but communication hasn’t been their forte. When Macy’s brother begs her to get Talon to attend his wedding, Macy goes to Alaska to retrieve him. Having been separated for long enough to miss each other desperately, communication is much improved, though still angsty.

The story is dual POV, well written, and a great story about rebuilding a relationship as both parties wish it hadn’t ended.

Talon and Macy have been married multiple times but never works. Then when her brother is getting married, he sends her to find Talon to get him to his wedding. Talon is stunned when Macy slaps pink fuzzy handcuffs on his wrist. Talon hears Macy out and wants the keys to get the cuffs off but she won't turn them over. Its not long before things heat up between them again. Will they finally manage to settled down together?

This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

[Bill Jakobsen]

Such a beautiful love story

Talon, married twice to the same woman. Macy the girl he can't forget and never wants to replace. She went to Alaska to plead with him to go to her brothers wedding. Neither Talon or Macy thought the marriage was going to be a good one. You have to read this book, it's heart wrenching for both of them. You'll find out the reason Macy left him the second time. This was a very good book! :)

[Adalle]

Pink Fuzzies

This is definitely a fun book. But more than that, it’s a story that a lot of people struggle with. With time, patience and open communication, there’s no problem that anyone can’t face.

I’m soo looking forward to seeing Brooks’s story.

[Marichus Real]

Talon and Macy have been married twice. Talon has no idea about the real reason Macy had to broke up with him. Macy has to convince him to attend her brother’s wedding, but Talon doesn’t want to be a witness to his friend’s big mistake. He thinks she is a gold digger, and he is totally right.
I liked this story very much. It is easy to read, entertaining and emotional.

[Kylie Brown]

Honestly, I loved this book out of the series the most. You could feel the love between Talon & Macy even after so much had happened throughout their back story. I could totally understand why she left. It was just so relatable for me in some ways.

Will she get him to the wedding for her brother? Will they be able to resolve the secret she is hiding? Will they finally get their happily ever after, or will this be the end for good.?

[Oriana Reads]

This story was short, fast paced, sweet, romantic and a bit sad as well. Talon and Macy were married 2!! times but split 3 years before. Not safe, because they were with others while seperated and clearly still in love with each other. Now they meet each other again and they finally reveal why they seperated 2 times. Not really my favorite story, but a nice read nonetheless 👍👍

[Trixie]

They are back in each other’s arms for the third and last time. Talon and Macy had that kind of relationship where they should have talked before they split up. They clearly loved the other, just glad that they have finally resolved what needs to be resolved.

Great read!!! 💖

The Brothers in Arms in Alaska series is fantastic! This one is the story of Macy and Talon. Some of their story has been talked about in previous books. Once the reason for their previous breakups is revealed - they manage to work through it. I won’t give any spoilers but the reason is so sad. Great quick read and I’m ready for the next!

[Sheila]

Loved this steamy funny book with twice divorced Talon and Macy but this couple are so right for each other and are so in love but she keeps walking away breaking his heart. When her brother send her on a mission to get him to his wedding she tracks him down in Alaska but that is only the beginning of this hot fun romance.
