Nick knows all of Kelly's quirks and caprices, so a kiss was a low-risk move on his part . . . or so he thought. But what should've been a simple moment unleashes a flood of confusing emotions and urges that neither man is prepared to address.

“Come give me a cuddle with a happy ending.”

Nick was still pointing at him. “I will not be leveraged.”

“Cuddle,” Kelly said, waving his hand.

“I don’t negotiate with terrorists!”

“Come on, Nicko, come give me a manly cuddle.”

“Promise I’ll get a cuddle?” Kelly asked.

Nick rolled his eyes. “Yes, just put down the eggs.”

Kelly grinned triumphantly and plopped the eggs back onto the plate.”

After barely surviving a shootout in New Orleans, Sidewinder medic Kelly Abbott has to suffer through a month of recovery before he can return home to Colorado. He's not surprised when fellow Sidewinder Nick O'Flaherty stays with him in New Orleans. Nor is he surprised when Nick travels home with him to help him get back on his feet — after all, years on the same Marine Force Recon team bonded the men in ways that only bleeding for a brother can. He's very surprised, though, when Nick humors his moment of curiosity and kisses him. Nick knows all of Kelly's quirks and caprices, so the kiss was a low-risk move on his part...or so he thought. But what should've been a simple moment unleashes a flood of confusing emotions and urges that neither man is prepared to address. Now, Kelly and Nick must figure out what they mean to each other — friends and brothers in arms, or something even deeper? — before the past can come back to ruin their tenuous future.

Ok so as always I love the authors writing. The story is hot and steamy. Shorter and straight to the point but Kelly just seemed too needy too fast. He seemed to go 0 to 6000 in a matter of 2 days. I like their relationship but I felt Kelly was just a bit pushy and desperate.
