Brantley Walker has dedicated his life to fighting for his country. Having given 17 years to the US Navy, the last 10 as a SEAL, the mission was the only thing he knew, the only thing that mattered. He never even considered what life would look like after the mission was over.

Until he’s forced to.

After spending months recovering from career-ending injuries, Brantley finds himself back in his hometown of Coyote Ridge, Texas. Now a permanent resident once again, with the full support of his family and friends, he sets forth to start over, forced to figure out what to do with the rest of his life, which, as it turns out, is far easier said than done.

Then the unthinkable happens.

When his cousin Travis’s daughter goes missing, Brantley puts himself right back in the action, partnering up with Reese Tavoularis to find the little girl and bring her back home where she belongs.

Along the way, Brantley and Reese end up immersed in another mission. Only this one results in a journey that takes them in a direction neither of them expected to go.

WOW, what an introduction to the new series. SOOOOO much going on! I won't give any spoilers but it's plain to see that Travis' daughter Kate has gone missing from the synopsis so I'll tell you that when that happened even though I was prepared for it I was still a goner, I hate when anything happens to kids. So I was right there with the rest of the Walker family anxiously waiting for her return home.Brantley Walker has returned home from his time in the Military, and is avoiding his family when Kate is taken but he does what any good person with his skills does, he goes on a hunt! Oh I wish I could just gush about everything but I never do spoilers so you really have to grab a copy of this book for yourself to find out all the glorious details.Reese is a former Military man himself, while Brantley was in the Navy, Reese was in the Air Force, so it makes sense that they work together to find Kate. What Reese didn't expect to happen was his attraction to Brantley, you see Reese is straight and never had any attraction to a man before Brantley. And now doesn't that just make this a whole bunch of fun!!! I really enjoy the push and pull between emotions when a person has to come to terms with their desires and the way Reese had to work through everything was really fun to watch.I have read the Alluring Indulgence Series so I know Travis and his family but if you haven't no worries this is the beginning of a new series and you can start with the Walkers here but I guarantee once you get a taste of them you'll want more.Happy Reading!!!

Man oh man, I adore this story. The premise, the characters, the heat, the uncertainty. All of it! And I cannot wait to read more. While this book does not have a cliffhanger, it’s written in a way that it’s open for there to be many adventures with the same characters.

I definitely have a soft spot for military men. After all, my husband was a Navy man himself. In this story we have both of the main characters as former military. Brantley was on track to be a lifer until a medical discharge. He was gung-ho Navy. Part of a SEAL team and not one to make the trek back home other than the occasional holiday or special occasion. Reese was Air Force and had enlisted in honor of his brother rather than because it was his own dream. He was good at his job and had no issues with the military, it just wasn’t his life goal. But, in my experience (so many family members of mine are military or former military), once you’re in the military it sticks with you no matter how long you’re out. That makes Brantley and Reese seem like a perfect fit for friendship. But there’s a spark between them that makes Brantley wonder if it’s more than friendship Reese wants.

If you’ve read any of the other stories about the Walkers, be it the in the Alluring Indulgence series or the Walkers of Coyote Ridge series, you know they are an inclusive and open-minded bunch. Although Reese isn’t a Walker by blood, he’s been part of the family for years. He grew up in the same town and his brother was friends with some of the older Walker brothers through their school years. In fact, Reese’s brother (who has his own wonderful story in the Sniper 1 Security series, Never Say Never) is gay and Reese has no problems with that at all. But Reese never had an attraction to men himself. That’s why the instant chemistry he feels with Brantley is so confusing to him. Is he gay, bisexual, something else? Does it even matter? These are all questions Reese is grappling with.

While Brantley feels the connection as well, he has never doubted his sexual orientation. The man has never “experimented” with a woman, never had an urge to do so. And though he’s very confident in the fact that he is gay, his reaction to Reese and vice versa is even confusing to him since he assumed Reese was straight. Brantley’s not one to stick his nose where it’s not wanted, but once the door is ajar and there is opportunity…he’s going to pursue it to the end.

This whole book is foreplay. I mean that in a good way. With Reese’s confusion and Brantley not wanting to get invested in someone who cannot reciprocate feelings, things are taken really slowly. Sweet kisses, hot kisses, all kinds of kisses, gradually building up to more. It’s hot and exciting and gave me all the feels. Brantley doesn’t want to change Reese. He wants Reese to come to his own realizations in his own time. Because of that, he has more patience than he even knew he was capable of having.

Although this relationship has a lot of room to grow by the end of the book, there’s no disappointment. There is satisfaction for the reader as well as the characters. As I mentioned before, there is no cliffhanger. We get a beginning, middle, and ending. We get action, relationships (romantic, friendly, and familial), lust, heat, tenderness, yearning. The reader gets it all and then some. And while I always recommend you read all of this authors books because I lover her writing, I will say that this can definitely be read as a standalone. Trust me, you won’t regret this read.

If Nicole Edwards writes it, I will read it! This book is the perfect combination of great writing, memorable characters and a storyline that you don’t want to miss!

Mission: All In with Brantley Walker brings us back into the world of the wonderful Walker family! This family always have each other’s backs so when one of their own is in danger everyone steps up to help.

This story certainly starts out with a bang and sucked me right it. I love reading about military men and Brantley checked off all the boxes for me! He is hot, confident and knows who he is. His life happened to take a turn he wasn’t expecting that brings him back to his hometown and now he is trying to forge a new path. He just doesn’t known what that path may be yet.

If you are familiar with the Walker family than you probably have meet Reese Tavoularis and I know I am excited to get his story. He thought he had himself figured out but after meeting and getting to know Brantley his world has certainly been turned upside down and put him on a path he definitely didn’t see coming.

Brantley and Reese are new friends drawn to each other with an increasing need to take their relationship to a different level. For Reese, he is experiencing feelings for the first time he just can’t explain or deny. Brantley, on the other hand, is patiently waiting for Reese to come to terms with his feelings. They have easy banter, great chemistry and seem to balance each other out but will Reese wait to fall into something new with Brantley or jump full in?

But just wait, this book is just the beginning of their story and this new series! I know I am so excited to see where their story and this series takes us!

This was my first story by Nicole Edwards.I suppose if I had read others I would have been more familiar with all of the name dropping from previous books, but it did not effect the strength of this story at all. While I found the story a bit slow in the beginning chapters, it picked up pretty quickly and held my interest until the end. I enjoyed the characters and the author developed them quite well - you had a good feel for each of their personalities. Their interactions felt very believable and real. I also liked the author's writing style and look forward to the next installment in this series.

This was my first time reading a Nicole Edwards book and it’s safe to say I’m obsessed! I knew I was going to love Brantley and Reese, my momma has been telling me about these books for years now, and I’m so glad I started reading it! So good! The angst and smut balanced each other out nicely and I loved the relationships between all the characters! Can’t wait to check the rest out!

Great start to a new series involving new characters and old familiar ones. Brantley is openly gay , an ex navy seal, seriously is injured whilst on active duty and due to serious wounds received has to be honourably discharged. He returns to the land of the Walkers and sets up house. Reese a straight guy works for the Walkers in their demolition department as manager. The two meet and the chemistry begins. They have a lot in common, Reese having been in airforce. The story develops. There are a lot of interactions especially when Kate, Travis, Gabe, and Kylie eldest daughter Kate is abducted. Enough sad no more spoiler alerts. There is drama, m on m relationship. Interesting developments all the way through this standalone, that keeps the reader captivated. This is the start of an exciting series.

This is my second read of this book and I enjoyed it just as much as my first time. I love the way the author has brought in all of the characters into this story. The way the relationship starts with Brantley and Reese is so well written and the suspense keeps the pages turning. Now onto book 2 ...

Steaming hot!
The spark of attraction quickly becomes a flame and the more Brantley and Reese investigate and dance around their attraction, the bigger the flame gets. Pretty soon we have a raging inferno that is almost out of control...but finding Kate has to come first.
Kate is the first priority for both men and this gives them a chance to get to know each other before they can act on their attraction, and it is that control, that sense of family that makes you like them even more.
Off the books is an awesome concept and with the skills and backing they have it can only be a huge success. I am hoping they have to keep expanding the team and therefore the series!
As this book finishes Brantley and Reese are still tentatively working towards a 'them', which leaves you eager for book 2 on two counts, eager to see the team in action and eager to see if Brantley and Reese can find their way...together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brantley & Reece =Smokin Hot !!!
Reviewed in Australia on June 24, 2020

Wowza!!! What a smokin hot delicious read. I absolutely adore Nicole Edwards and everything she writes but I have to say ... other than Ethan/Beau, Brantley & Reece have just became my new favorite’s.

Mission: All In, I devoured this book in one sitting , it was explosive, exciting, smoldering, smokin hot and I loved every second. Brantley Walker... what can I say other than, I’m OBSESSED with him, what’s not to love about a sexy, alpha, growly, Navy Seal who has a body for sin and eyes that could bring you to your knees .

Brantley finds himself back in Coyote Ridge after giving the last 18years of his life to the U.S Navy, as a result of his injuries he is forced to retire and come home seeking an alternative life outside the only one he has ever known. The adjustments are hard but he has his family and friends helping make things better, then he goes and lands his eyes on the gorgeous but straight Reece Travoularis and things just got a whole lot more complicated. Brantley doesn’t ever see himself settling down in a committed relationship but something about Reece has him thinking about possibilities and burning him with a need he has never felt before .

Reece is as straight as they come but seeing Brantley has his mind, heart and body experiencing things he never thought he would. His confusion at being attracted to a man and his interactions with Brantley sees this story being filled with many raw, honest moments that were real and believable. I love a good GFY story but this was written perfectly , I believed in the feelings, the back and forth, the unwanted albeit strong chemistry.
When a Horrible, unthinkable thing happens in the walker family , Reece and Brantley partner up to help bring home a little girl who is much loved by them all. They never expected to feel more for each other than they do and as time goes by and feelings/desires become harder to ignore.

This was a brilliant start to this series and I cannot wait to see where Brantley and Reece takes us next .

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ well deserved and given freely

Wonderful book, made me cry.

Enjoyed this book so much.

It was great to catch up with the Walker clan, albeit under some difficult circumstances, but you felt part of the family.

The way Nicole Edwards writes captures you straight into the story and this book is no exception.

I am not going to give away any spoilers, but I am looking forward to going on some more adventures with Reese, Brantley and JJ.

Have already pre-ordered the next book.

Thank you.
