This was a short novella that lets us know exactly where everyone in the original series is and gives us an intense moment between Cash and Jen.
Cash McCoy, badass Navy SEAL and resident good ol' boy of San Diego, is ready to propose to his girlfriend, Jen. Despite her brother being his LT, and her father being the most intimidating man on the planet, he spent the last three years loving her. With the help his friends, fellow SEALs Dylan and Seth, he picks out the most gorgeous ring, prepared to propose when he gets home.
Jen, however, has other plans. With her career at its peak, she's finally get the chance she's been waiting for - to go international and take pictures of places and people that matter. Knowing Cash won't be happy with her, she butters him up first, offering him a little something something before dropping the bond.
He takes the bait, knowing full well what she's doing, before asking her what she's done. When she tells him her plans, he doesn't respond the way she hopes. In fact, he flat out tells her she's not going, starting a fight that neither of them wants to own up to.
Before either of them know it, Jenn is off to Central America, taking photos of a war zone while Cash is stationed back at home.
Nothing will go wrong though, right?
The cliches were here in spades - it was easy from the start to tell that Cash wouldn't like her going to a war zone and that something would happen to her there. The military aspect was more present here than any of the other books, but the drama was a little eye-rolling.
However, I loved Cash and loved seeing all the boys. We got to see bits of Claire, still happy with her relationship with Dylan and Aiden. We got to see Miranda and the twins. We learned that Carson and Holly are content with their beautiful baby boy.
I had more fun reading about the couples than about Jen's situation, who I thought was rather pigheaded and stupid to go there. Not to mention, she didn't even discuss it with Cash. It was more of - hey, I'm doing this. You don't like it? Well, suck an egg.
However, when they weren't fighting, their relationship was very sweet. Oh Cash - the sensitive one. Adorable.
Final rating: 3 stars
