Rogue

Men of the Military #4

by Katie Rae

They were complete opposites in every way.
Their hatred for one another ran hot through their veins.

With one chance encounter, I became the only thing keeping them from destroying one another.
And the reason for their temporary truce.

We spent our days trying to uncover the mysteries on board the USS Dewitt.
While our nights were spent pushing the boundaries of more than just each other’s bodies.

Our secret affair was forbidden and completely inescapable.
Becoming more scandalous than the investigation we were conducting.

I was supposed to find the villain causing havoc on the ship.
But instead, I was the one going rogue.

*Rogue is a steamy military MMF romance with suspense and mystery. TW include mild violence.

Absolutely fantastic

The intensity, the fun, the passion! Loved this book!
Characters were cool af and I enjoyed all three immensely.
Two enemies fall for the same woman. The gradual growth from enemies to reluctant allies to…more and then more, was a great natural progression I was 💯 there for.
The underlying mystery was entertaining and helped to bond these three bada$$es.
HIGHLY recommend ✌️

To say I was excited when Katie announced this was going to be MMF is an understatement. Ever since I read The Games We Play and the incredible dynamic she created between Kase and Cam, I've wanted some MM interaction from her, and it was worth the wait!!

Quinn and Beck couldn't be more opposite, the perfect officer and the tatted up enlisted sailor. They harbor an extreme hatred towards one another from a previous incident, though they've never actually spent any time together until the night they meet Avery, an undercover Federal Agent running an investigation on the ship.

Somehow that animosity just adds to the uncharted chemistry between them. Combine that with their instant connection with Avery and these 3 are a tangle of lust and love. And absolutely against all regulations.

Quinn giving out orders... yes sir Lt. Commander.

Katie keeps the suspense up for the majority of the book. Every time I thought I knew who they were looking for, I was wrong. And then she goes and throws us in an emotional tailspin. Edge of your seat twists and hot as fire spice, this is my favorite book of Katie's so far!

Equally.
Completely.
Unconditionally.

I cannot recommend this enough! I ate this up in less than 24 hours and I know you will too! This was a quick, steamy romance, with mystery elements, HOT seamen and a woman they both can't seem to keep away from - but little do Quinn and Beck know meeting Avery was just the start of something that would completley make their lives make all the sense that it didnt before....

Avery, Quinn and Beck all had a job to do that suddenly became very very hard to accomplish because after their first meeting the hatered between Quinn and Beck seemed to lessen and be consumed by the instant connection they both felt for Avery. Little did they know that sexual attraction was only the beginning...

This book was AMAZING! It was delicously spicy in the best ways - this was a MMF military romance. It had me at the edge of my seat with every page I read. Katie ended EACH chapter in a way that just pulled you in and had you never wanting to put this book down. It made me feel all the feels; I laughed, swooned, cried and it had me needing a cold shower because HOLY SH*T - Katie the spice in this was absolutley PHENOMINAL. Not only were the charaters and the spice great, this also had an amazing storyline that just completley sucked you and took over. Dare I say this is now in my top reads of the year so far and I have a feeling it will stay there as it now has a permenant spot there.

This was the first of Katie's books I've read and I now want to read everything shes every written!
Thank you so so much Katie for sending this to me and letting me be apart of the PR box team for this books release - it was an absolute honor!

⚓️ ARC REVIEW ⚓️
Review: 4.75/5 ⭐️
Steam: 3/5 🔥

#rogue is a standalone book within the #menofthemilitaryseries by @katie_rae_author.

Quinn and Beck might be on a Naval ship together, but there is a lot of hostility in their relationship. Quinn is the top Pilot upon the ship and is well known to everyone. He’s important, slightly cocky but can back it up and clean cut. Beck has always has the odds against him. He’s gruff, tatted and has a sketchy past, but he takes his job seriously and is good at it. They had an incident where tempers flair and blame was passed. But once Avery is in the picture, dynamics change.

Avery is on a naval ship to investigate some usual instances. She is smart, determined and waiting to solve a case. The last thing she expected was to find two very different men capture her attention. Not only did they all have a feeling of belonging together, but they also confided in one another to solve a problem. Their relationship bloomed from there to something stronger they could no longer avoid.

I really liked this book! I thought there was a great buildup in the relationship between Quinn and Beck, how their hatred turned into love. But also with Avery there was an overwhelming sense of home and protectiveness. They all felt the need to hold each other close as if it’s a dream, too good to be true. They faced adversities and heartache but also were able to find a life of love that worked for them. If you like tension suspense and heat, here’s your new book!

What a freaking read! I was crying one min and jumping up with tears in the next. The pull and angst between these character is so strong the author did an amazing job showing how hard Beck and Quinn fought the pull but as always love conquers. Avery was the piece that connected them all. She is a very strong FMC with determination to fight for the people she loves and she does till the end! I was worried it would end sad but thank god it does have a happy ending and it just tied everything together so perfect. I cant wait to read more of Katie’s books!

Quinn, Avery & Beck

❤️ if I was going rogue, I was going all the way. -A

🤍 When this ship heads back to the port, I have six months before we deploy again. I planned on throwing Beck in my trunk and chasing you down, baby. -Q

⚓️Falling in love doesn’t take a long time once you meet that person. The only thing measured by time is how long it takes us to stop fighting it. -B

⚓️ I should have told you, I should have never held back. I should have given just as much to you as I did to our girl. It was never about sharing her, Quinn. It was always about us three feeling right together. -B

Now we make sure we never have any regrets. Life can be fleeting. (Q)

Quinn Lawson - Navy Pilot
Avery Adams - NCIS Agent
Beck Goodwin  - Petty Officer (Navy Sailor)

What I love about Katie Rae's books as that she throws the tension at you from the start. Bait to hook, line & sinker!

Quinn and Beck are at eachothers throats from the very beginning. You can feel the tension between the two of them as you read and not the good kind! 😉 That comes later! However you do get the good kind of tension when you get them each with Avery. And you get both when all 3 or together! It's freaking fantastic! 🤣 It's like an adrenaline rush at every turn! Hot damn!

This book gave me everything I didn't know i needed! This was my first MMF. But its Katie Rae and military men! I knew i was giving it a try! And im so glad i did! Katie did this perfectly! There was the right amount of angst, steam, sexy and romance! The 3 are 🔥🔥🔥. And they fit perfectly together. Quinn is the calm and collected, where Beck is rough around the edges, and then you have Avery who is their voice of reason and the glue. They are the perfect mix! And I loved that Quinn and Beck were able to identify, accept and reciprocate their feelings for eachother. Because as much as them just being with Avery would have been fine. They also needed eachother.

Then throw in the fact that I'm a proud niece & granddaughter of two Navy veterans so I absolutely loved the Navy aspect. And the fact that I could picture certain areas after being on an aircraft carrier before. Also huge fan of the tv series NCIS so I mean this was amazing!

Seriously, absolutely loved this book! I give it all the stars and then some!

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wasn't sure about the writing at first and was thinking I might now like this book. Well let me tell you....the writing got better and the story was HOT. I had put this story on my TBR list and I didn't reread the synopsis before starting it so I wasn't sure if it was going to be a MFM or a MMF story.
The animosity between Beck and Quinn at the beginning of this book makes you wonder how they'll ever get along enough for this story to happen. The stare they shared at the bar at the start had me going....oh? Is that some MM angst I'm sensing?
The serendipity of them meeting Avery in the bar and her subsequent assignment on their aircraft carrier was a perfect, if not far fetched, set up for a whirlwind of a month at sea. Oh and this is definitely a MMF romance. It's subtle at first, you see them appreciate things about the way the other is interacting with Avery and they quickly agree that sharing is caring but you can tell there is more brewing under the surface waiting to be revealed. They both want to take care of Avery but they start to really care for one another along the way.
On top of the sizzling chemistry and spicy spice there is an excellent storyline and mystery being told from the very beginning. There are people with nefarious intentions aboard and the three of them are determined to uncover those people and what they are up to. When tragedy strikes and everything comes to light...whew I did NOT see that one coming. Plus, everyone is slapped upside their heads with how they truly feel about each other and the way it was all wrapped up was very satisfying.
This book has:
-1st person/3-way POV (good ratio too, not just mostly the FMC which is often the case)
-MM sexual awakening
-instant attraction between the MMCs and the FMC
-enemies to lovers for the MMCs
-angst between the MMCs but not at the FMC when everything comes to light
-some voyeurism
-'sir', 'mr lawson', using their military titles on each other and let's not forget 'baby girl'
-both MMCs like to give instructions
-3-4 on the spice scale
-no 3rd act breakup or outside forces causing issues with their unconventional relationship
-HEA
If you're looking for spice AND a good story then you've come to the right place....when that spice gets going it's wheeeew but it never detracts from the mystery I couldn't wait to solve.
Oh and make sure you're reading that bonus chapter linked at the end of the book...unless you aren't here for the spice...

Plot 5 ✨ (only because that is the highest, I can go)
Plot 5 🔥

A Naval Officer and an Enlisted Sailor walk into a bar. The Enlisted Sailor pushes the Naval Officer and both alpha males barely restrain themselves from throwing the punches they have been holding back for a while now.

In that same bar hiding in the back corner is an NCIS Investigate Agent enjoying her last night before she goes undercover on the local Navy ship. Hidden in the corner she can easily see the two males trying to off each other with their death stares until someone spills cold beer down the front of her white shirt.

Beck and Quinn can't stand each other until they find a common interest. That common interest Avery/Heather. Neither of them is going to give up trying to woo her. Avery doesn't understand why she wants both men, but she does.

What really happened the fateful day that set Quinn and Beck into the dark depths of hating each other?
What is it that Avery is supposed to be investigating?
When feelings continue to grow, boundaries continue to get pushed, and the stakes are raised will these three individuals who should never work as a couple go Rogue together?
Is their love worth what each one risks losing?

It's not a secret that I'm a huge fan of Katie but that is because she writes stunning stories like this one. She came in hot from the dedication (I felt personally called out) and kept that fire burning till the last page.
The tension between Beck and Quinn flowed off the page and straight to my little heart. If you love enemies to lovers, you will eat this story up. The dynamic of their relationship was different from any other MMF story I have read. I loved the fact that Avery knew what was happening before the men.
Not only was the tension terrific the suspense kept me on my toes. I did not know what to believe. I had so many suspects and in the end... she blew my mind. This story will give you all the emotions you have while reading it. I had to have my wife physically take my phone away from me so I wouldn't binge this all in one sitting. Just like all of her books, I need more from this couple now.
*I did get an arc of this book*

[becci · Rating 2 out of 5]

God this book was so predictable💀. The plot was so forced and for being an NCIS agent, the FMC Avery is stupid as hell.

Supposed to be this bad ass special agent but doesn’t really have a backbone and can’t put two and two together.
Like not recognising voices she heard everyday from the same people and only getting it like the 7th time who they are. Really?!?

And like for sureeeee she can just sneak around on an aircraft carrier and can just sneak around in the captains office and shit like that.
Like gurl can we make this anymore unrealistic and unbelievable??

Beck was cool ig? He was honestly just chilling and being a good person, trying his best.

Quinn was there… like yeah cool he’s the “bEsT pIoLt iN tHe wOrLd” but for me his character was so bland. No back story, no nothing.

What bothered me so much was how unrealistic his accident was. Surviving 2 days in the Atlantic after his F-18 exploded “2 seconds after he ejected”. Bitch please.
I know books aren’t realistic to begin with most of the time but HUH?! Like just try and make it a little bit more believable 💀

or how Avery got to fly in an F-18 as a “civilian” with no training what so ever is beyond me.
Idk if that really is possibly so maybe I am making assumptions but doesn’t sound right to me.

And oh god there was no chemistry AT ALL. It was so unbelievably fast paced and just not it. There was no tension, no connection, no nothingggg.

It was just so rushed.

I do have to say that the smut was ok. Nothing special but not terrible and no “I have to walk around my room bc of second hand embarrassment” moments💀

I liked that it was MMF too. Brought a little bit more fun into the otherwise bland story.

Oh yeah and Beck and Quinn had kinda good chemistry. Probably bc they had some build up and tension.

Might sound harsh but Avery did not bring anything into this book other than for the author to have a plot with the drug smuggling and shit.

If you want to have an carefree read where you don’t have to use your brain at all, go for it💀 It you want deep characters and a good story that makes sense, don’t read it🧍🏻‍♀️.

4.25 Stars! 💗⚓

Having read the previous installments in this series i was so glad that we were getting more! From the moment i stumbled across a post about this book on social media i've been so excited for it! I picked it up as soon as i could and got right back into the Men of the Military world! I really enjoyed this story!

Avery, Quinn, and Beck's journey pulled me in and didn't let go! Quinn and Beck have been at each other's throats for some time with hatred. A moment at a bar has Avery crashing into their lives. When these three wind up on the USS Dewitt together, can it lead to things they never imagined?

I got SO into this story and oh how it stayed on my mind! I really liked the way Quinn and Beck got under each other's skin and the way Avery were brought into each other's lives. I didn't know how these three would tackle everything which got me even more into their story. Avery, Quinn, and Beck were such heat filled goodness together and had me feeling every bit of their journey! 🥵

From the military aspects / setting, the undeniable chemistry, the hate / love, the characters, and to the realness that poured from them, i thoroughly enjoyed this story! Moments can shake up your world for the better and that sure showed with Avery, Quinn, and Beck's story! I've been wanting more MMF in my life and their story was just what i needed! It was awesome being back in the Men of the Military world! I could picture it all so clearly as well.

With Rogue, Ms.Rae has created such a great read that brought the feels, heart, and heat that kept me turning the pages! She had me blushing and feeling so dang much! I can't wait to read what this author comes up with next! 💗⚓

[Nikole · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really hated how they kept blaming her for everything. Then they would come back and she is just like 'yeah ok i'll let you treat me like shit as long as you keep touching me' like COME ONNN.
How many times are they going to blame you, call you a bitch, and hurt you .... and then you just continue on like it was nothing. UUUGH. That was really all I hated. She did try sticking up for herself that once, and it worked, but that was it.

I never really cared for MMF book tropes. But this was actually really good. Their story and their relationship between one another was fast, but it felt natural. It wasn't always all about her, which is how I normally like it, but they used her to figure out their feelings for one another... and it just made sense how everything unfolded.

The mystery aspect of it was awesome. I don't normally ready mystery romance, but I really enjoyed it. I thought I had it all figured out too but I ended up being wrong. We were all led to believe one thing but who we thought it was, really hadn't been in on it. I thought it was obvious, but the way those characters were in the wrong felt too obvious, I just didn't think nothing of it. I was dead set on it being them....

I really did enjoy this story. The spice was good and the story line was good. What more do you need?

“His eyes had scanned my lips, his brow was furrowed, his tongue slid across his teeth. His jaw was locked but there was so much desire in his eyes that I melted from the stare down we were having.”

Rogue is my new favorite book by Katie Rae. Rogue is a perfect balance of romantic suspense, angst and spicy encounters. My heart broke for Beck and Quinn and their journeys to self-acceptance. Whether in moments of animosity, lust, or love, the tension between Beck, Avery, and Quinn crackles off the page. The plot is pulse-pounding, spicy AF, and the love stories are beautiful. Rogue was Katie’s first run at MMF romance and it slays! Avery, Quinn, and Beck are phenomenal characters and complement each other perfectly. Beck’s broody, intense, bad boy persona is panty-meltingly intense. Quinn’s cocky, charismatic, alpha personality is swoon-worthy AF. Avery’s badass, intelligent, stealthily observant, compassionate allure is everything you could want in a book bestie/book girlfriend. I don’t know that I’ve ever been so emotionally invested and spell-bound by a book. I was on the edge of my seat & captivated from start to finish. I was so caught up in the suspense, I think I held my breath straight through two chapters! If you like military, enemies-to-lovers, why-choose, MMF romance, Rogue is a must-read! Seriously run, do not walk, run to get Rogue by Katie Rae!

Speechless, mind blown and on the edge of my seat feeling like my hearts beating out of my chest . Those are only a few emotions I feel every single time I pick up one of Katie Rae’s unforgettable and unputdownable romances . Seriously she is Such a queen when it comes to writing well all tropes in romance. She has this amazing gift of knowing just how to grab onto all your emotions so quickly and pull at your heartstrings in ways you definitely will not be expecting. She writes the most likable and relatable characters that are so very captivating, unique and multi layered, you simply cannot stop yourself from falling In love . Rouge is Quinn and Becks journey and man was it a emotional rollercoaster filled with intrigue, suspense, forbidden romance, twists and turns, non stop action, MMF ,angst , opposites attract , push and pull , hate to love , second chances , heartbreaking and heartfelt moments, and so much more . There simply aren’t any perfect words to express all the reasons you absolutely have to read this amazing story or all the emotions I can promise it will stir in you . To fully appreciate all its perfection you you need to go in with a completely open mind and read it for yourself . Make sure you put plenty of free time aside as once you start it’s almost impossible to stop

Let me first say, Katie Rae you are amazing! This book will keep you on the edge of your seat! What a page turner! The suspense of not knowing what will happen next, will make you want to keep reading! Quinn and Beck know each other from the USS Dewitt, but an incident that happens, has Quinn blaming Beck. The hot and cold feelings between Quinn and Beck and then throw Avery in the mix will surely shock you. What an explosion! Quinn and Beck meet Avery at a bar where she gets beer spilled all over her. Little do they know that Avery will be on the Dewitt for their next training session investigating that incident and wait til you see what’s really going on. It turns into the three of them doing the investigation together, but can Quinn and Beck get along? Will Avery play a role in the way they act toward each other? The chemistry is explosive and steamy! Mind blowing and off the charts! Just wait and see. In the end what will the investigation show? Who is really behind what is going on? When a certain something happens, I about fell over. Wait til you see what that is? In the end what will happen between Avery, Quinn and Beck? Are they destined to be together or will they go their separate ways?

What A Ride With Avery, Quinn, & Beck!

Three people go rogue on a one month deployment aboard a US aircraft carrier & fall in love in this sizzling mmf, why choose romantic suspense mystery.

Navy pilot Lt Commander Quinn Lawson isn't a fan of Petty Officer Beck Goodwin, the man he feels is responsible for his near fatal landing mishap a few months earlier. NCIS special agent Avery Adams is undercover aboard for the month. Avery quickly hones in on the simmering tension between these two men and when they both decide to stake a claim on the pretty undercover agent, they all three end up embroiled in solving the mystery of what had led to Quinn's nearly fatal landing. And the mystery continues to circle around Quinn and Beck.

Once they figure out that they're outside forces fueling there animosity for each other things heat up in a different way. This is a super steamy romance with mfm, mm, and mmf spicy scenes. Quinn and Beck both want Avery, but are slow to realize their connection to each other. (I enjoyed the moment when Quinn finally took the initiative on that. No spoilers here.)

There is a terrific mystery and suspense behind all the bedroom action with these three. Get a fan or a cold drink because this is a spicy read! 🌶🌶🌶+

Well hot dignity damn! Anyone else sweating? Is it hot in here?

Quinn,Beck and Avery have me on cloud 20 because 9 isn't enough. My heart is full of love and I need a cold shower. Ugh their love hit my blood pumper so hard I thought I'd start flying.
I had all the feels. Joy,stress,anger,and she hit me straight in the chest with sadness. Had the theme song to titanic plucking at my heart strings.

Boy is this one hot tamale!As I was reading I had my hand to my chest and no lie said out loud "Well hot damn Katie. About to make a girl have to change her panties"I kept looking to the side of me where my husband's sleeping and thinking "If he wakes up and looks at me he'll know. He'll think I'm watching a full on porn and playing with my seggs niblet"

Make sure you are prepared before reading this. You'll need water(for the sweating will dehydrate you),vodka(because katie is a professional heart breaker),chocolate(for the despair) and about 50 fresh pairs of panties or your husband/lover nearby to release some tension) I am so ready for more from this author and next time I'll be ready for her version of 50 shades of holy fudge that's hot!

Quinn and Beck HATE each other after Quinn blamed him for his plane not hooking to the cable and hima almost going overboard and now they're forced to be on the same ship with each other for a whole month and neither of them are looking forward to it but after running into a beautiful lady in a bar they both just felt a pull to her and come to find out she too is going to be on that ship.... Things are happening and no one can explain it and when this happens quinn and beck are forced to put aside their differences not only to try to solve the mystery but also for the girl

All I can say is holy MFin shiz this book was EVERYTHING I literally devoured it in less than a day because it was THAT GOOD! Like give me top gun but make it a forbidden MMF relationship and add some goooood spice.

Well… that was a ride… I started this story thinking it was going to be a serious but fun military MMF story… I mean you have to have serious when dealing with the Navy and NCIS.

Boy… was I wrong… this story took me on so many twists and turns I felt like I was on a roller coaster. I’m not going to give anything away but just when you think you know… you don’t. Be prepared to trust no one.

Now to the good part… Quinn is your typical Navy pilot… he’s the best and everyone knows it. Beck is your typical bad boy that finds his place in the military. Avery is your typical government agent who lives for the job. But when they come together… you may need to jump in the Atlantic to cool off.

There were many times I wanted to scream because I wanted the MM part of the story to get here already but let me tell you… it’s… worth… every… page… of reading.

Another fabulous Men of Military story.

[Amber · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've taken a few days to think about what I want to say about this book. I am such a huge fan of Katie's work & it is just so wonderful to get to read these books and watch her growth as an author. When Katie first told me about the direction this book was taken her, I told her that the MMF trope in particular was one I had never read before and had never really even thought about picking up. So needless to say I didn't really know what to expect really, or how I react to reading some of those scenes.

I really loved all three of the main characters from this book, but oftentimes I found myself thinking, "Wow, I don't even think we need Avery (the FMC) at all." LOL No offense to her or anything. I understand her entire part in this love story. Had it not been for her, Quinn & Beck never would've explored those feelings that were brewing just beneath the service. Let me tell you the tension in this book between Quinn & Beck......woo! I think it just about melted my kindle.... I found myself yelling at either of them to throw the up against the wall and kiss 'em already! It was INTENSE.

Aside from the obvious spicy scenes, the story/plot of this story was really entertaining and had me on the edge of my seat. I feel like I should've see the twist coming but somehow Katie managed to shock me once again. I felt so many emotions reading this book and that's just the way I like it. 4.5 Stars.

[Carmela Dimattia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I do not know how I have not read any of the other books in this series but I most certainly will be reading them now. This book was extremely hot, hot, hot, but it also had a great and interesting story line. I love reading military romance books and add in to the mix two naval officers who literally hate each other but are both interested in the same woman and you are bound to have fireworks but a story full of passion and very steamy scenes. The male characters of Beck and Quinn are both very intense in their own way but when Avery, an undercover NCIS agent, gets both of their attention you know that you will be on a wild, wild ride. Add in to the mix intrigue, drama and suspense and you could not ask for a more mind boggling read. I loved this so much and am waiting patiently for the next book in this series.

I received an arc copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

[Ames Hart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Do not read this one in public unless you have a great poker face! But definitely read it! Katie pushes the boundaries of emotion and what love really is. Avery is an undercover NCIS agent with a simple job to do, go onboard the USS Dewitt as Heather Holmes, observe and report what she sees. Simple, right? Sure, until the two men who helped defend you at a bar in town both end up on the carrier. So let’s throw in the twist that those two men hate each other, but will do anything for “Heather”. Amid secrecy, angst, and confused emotions more than one mystery unfolds with the signature Katie Rae twists you won’t see coming.

Katie beautifully brings to light the ups and downs of trying to understand emotions between not two people but three. She writes each word and scene drawing you in to these complicated spaces. This is one emotional and spicy read!

What an absolutely amazing read and adventure! Katie Rae you did an amazing job on this book!

Beck the tattooed bad boy with a past. Quinn the golden boy pilot who everyone loves absolutely hate each other for something that transpired on their 1st deployment and now are about to embark on a 2nd one. In comes Heather aka Avery the beautiful girl they both felt drawn to protect at the bar.

Avery the NCIS agent sent to go aboard the USS Dewitt to “observe not be a hero” help they boys investigate what exactly happened on their 1st deployment. Avery helps them all develop and transcend their relationship and boy is it SPICY 😈

If you want an MMF military angsty mysterious book then do yourself a favor and read this book you will not be disappointed

An amazing engaging story. Be prepared once you start reading you will not want to stop. Oh my the spice in this book. It is definitely out of my comfort zone ,but I loved the story and had to keep reading. The characters were amazing, I wanted them to find happiness. Beck and Quinn definitely had a love /hate relationship. I enjoyed the mystery portion of the plot. Avery wants nothing more than to solve the case, she was sent to investigate. However, she finds so much more than a case. Avery connected Beck and Quinn perfectly. The ending was perfect, definitely worth reading to get to. There is so much to love about this book, I highly recommend you read it and see for yourself. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

OH MY! This is my first book by this author and I am truly blown away! There are so many twists and turns in this book that you will be hang on by the tips of your nails. Avery is an NCIS agent undercover on an aircraft carrier. Meeting two very strong alpha males the night before her assignment was an act of fate because these two men will change her life forever. Little does she know that she has already changed their lives. A Navy fly boy and a man that takes care of the planes that are landing seem to be worlds apart but throw in drugs, greed, murder and intense chemistry which makes for an intense story. I can’t wait to see if Avery, Quinn and Beck show up in another book.

This book was so hot! I think I have found that I really do like MMF book as much as MF. There are a ton of super hot moments in the book, I had to stop reading for a minute to cool down.

A disturbing chain of events aboard USS Dewitt brings three unlikely Allie’s together.

Avery, Beck and Quinn meet when someone spills a beer on her and they both come to her rescue.

Quinn and Beck are both in the Navy and are stationed on the same aircraft carrier. Though they don’t like each other.

I love every interaction they had together and how there was this incredible spark between them all.

You should seriously go read this book!

Wow, I was so excited to read this military romance. I had never read a romance in the Navy or air craft carrier. Man, the hate between Beck and Quinn was on such an angsty level the whole time. The power struggle is due to the navy ranks and just pure alpha. But Avery was a gamechanger. She saw what the men had crazy emotions towaed each other and with her own emotions toward them it was a great medium burn. She was the glue that held them while their pieces fit. I love MMF romance and add in a sexy pilot, ground crew, and A sexy NCIS undercover agent wow. I thought I had the suspense plot figured out, then book Katie hits me with a zinger. Fantastic, Hot Military Read.
