Boots on the Ground

The author pulls you into the lives of Linc and Kennedy and never lets go. They have a connection that is undeniable but each has baggage that they do not want to share with the other. Will their love be enough or are they destined to be alone? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Both Lincoln and Kennedy have past trauma that affects their present. One of hers still lives nearby and enjoys taunting her. Linc is worried about hurting Kennedy so he has avoided her for years, but is losing the ability to keep away. Nox is a little genius. Remy is a great brother. I love watching the families interacting. I like that the Balls to the Wall and Kismet stories continue here. I received a free copy of this book.

I have read several books by this author through ARC programs but not necessarily in order. Would recommend reading them in order so you would have a better idea of how all of the characters work together. The main families in this book are intertwined so at times it can be a little confusing. This is the story of Kennedy and Lincoln, who have known each other forever and were involved before Linc left for the Marines and to serve with her brother and other friends from Birch. With everything Linc has seen during his service he does not think he can be with anyone and therefore they part ways. Their feelings are still there but Kennedy tries to move on with a lawyer named Royal. There is some secrecy around why she breaks off that engagement and is now single. Both Kennedy and Linc need to heal from their past as they try to find their way back to each other. As with the other books in this series, there is plenty of action and suspense that keep you reading to see how Kennedy and Linc will get their second chance. **I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.***
