Their love is forbidden, but their hearts aren’t listening to rules and regulations…

Lieutenant Dustin Strauss is a reformed man. No longer a twentysomething hell-raiser, he’s his SEAL team’s new XO—and a man with a secret. Or seven. He’s kept his bisexual identity under wraps for years, along with his kinky side and a fondness for the military-themed semianonymous hookup website Joe4Joe. His latest chat buddy is more than a sexy online distraction—they’re taking their very not-safe-for-work relationship into real time.

Petty Officer Wes Lowe has a smart mouth, a take-charge attitude and an uncanny ability for making things go boom. The life of an enlisted man isn’t always enough to satisfy him, but one wild, no-questions-asked weekend with his online love comes close. When a transfer order comes in, Wes feels ready and centered. He’ll make a good impression on his new SEAL team and keep his growing feelings for Dustin on the down low.

But as they log more time online and some very real emotions surface, Dustin and Wes struggle to pretend they’re just a harmless fling. And when his commander introduces Dustin to his team’s newest member, they’re in for the shock of a lifetime…and a crushing disappointment: their difference in ranks means even a friendship without sexual contact could end their navy careers for good.

With their hearts on the line, Dustin and Wes may not survive their next mission, let alone find a way toward a future together.

Wheels Up by Annabeth Albert is a true tale of forbidden romance. Like career ending, true hot water forbidden romance.

Dustin is Dylan’s brother from At Attention… (if you can not read it I highly recommend it)

In Wheels Up Dustin’s journey to be himself, to embrace himself both in and out of the bedroom kept me glued to my kindle and at some points my heart was in my throat.

The how Dustin and Wes connect; the how they find out who the other truly is and how they wrestle with what to do with the depth of emotions they feel for each other are all a testament to this author’s talent!

I loved the bit of kink in this one and how it played on the power dynamic Dustin and Wes shared.

The happy these two choose.. and yes they really do need to make hard decisions if they are going to be together, felt true to the characters and has me smiling from ear to ear!

After you read Dustin and Wes’ journey to happy.. make sure to read Homebodies a FREE short set after the end of the book!

If you need me I will be reading Squared Away the next book in this epic series!
