Book 1,023: Catered All the Way – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

Book cover of "Catered all the Way" with Amazon Affiliate linkAnnabeth Albert can write a MM Romance novel. Seriously, y’all I say it every time and re-reading the few notes I took as I type this up months later ALL THE FEELS come back so fast and then when you add in the two cameos from her Out of Uniform series and The Geek Who Saved Christmas, it just gets even better!

This one of those close proximity, long pining younger brother of a friend romances and I am here for it. There was minimal angst and the story moved along pretty quickly. Atlas, a marine who seems to know a few people from the Out of Uniforms series, has come home for Christmas. He was going to stay with Zeb’s brother, but the house is chaotic with twins on the way and in-laws in town. So, Zeb, a professional gamer, sees this as his opportunity to invite Atlas to stay with him and maybe something will happen in the close proximity—and it sure does.

Book 1,018: Rocky Start (A-List Security #4) – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

Book cover of "Rocky Start" with Amazon Affiliate linkThe final installment of Albert’s A-List Security closes out the series with a bang. It’s relatively low-angst (mostly internal) and one major dramatic crisis, but overall, the series has been pretty low-key.

This book is a veteran-veteran romance rather than a veteran-civilian romance. Malik and Avery are both former SEALS and have connected with Duncan and Harley in their transition back to civilian life to work for their security firm. Malik experiences PTSD and Avery lost an arm (I think from combat) and they’re sent off to a remote set to help with security on a film.

Book 1,017: Bad Deal (A-List Security #3) – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

Book cover of "Bad Deal" including Amazon Affiliate linkThis was an unexpected entry in this series. I’m not really sure why, as it makes sense, but for me it stands out as slightly different than the others. Some of it may be that she brought more humor to this one that she did in the earlier two, or maybe it was the fake-boyfriend trope that I’ll always love, or maybe it was the characters ¯_(ツ)_/¯

With Bad Deal we have Harley, Duncan’s (from Hard Job) partner in running A-List Security who has taken on security lead for a TV series, and Ambrose, the writer/director of said series, and his dog Hercules (I think he’s a Chinese Crested, but it’s been too long to recall 100% accurately).

Book 1,016: Hard Job (A-List Security #2) – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

Book cover of "Hard Job" with Amazon Affiliate linkBook two of Albert’s A-List series finds us picking up not long after Tough Job leaves off. This time we’re with Danny’s stepbrother, Duncan, and his best friend, Ezra. Duncan is the head of the security firm that the series gets its name from, and Ezra is a rockstar living his best life.

I honestly can’t remember why Ezra needed the security, he may have fought with his previous person, it may have been a cover story to get in Duncan’s pants, but he needed them and went to Danny and Duncan got pulled in.

Book 1,015: Tough Luck (A-List Security #1) – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

Book cover of "Tough Luck" with Amazon Affiliate linkAnnabeth Albert loves to write a MM Military/Veteran romance and I am here for it. I love Annabeth Albert and I love MM military/veteran romances, so it’s a match made in heaven for all I have to say about it. The piece that I was meh about, was the body-guard aspect of the series, but seeing some reviews on Goodreads, maybe I’ve been missing out!

Tough Luck is the story of Danny Love, a childhood actor turned hermit, and Cash, an ex-marine who served with Danny’s (step?) brother, Duncan. Duncan’s asked cash to help Danny out installing security at his house, due to a stalker, and Cash has reluctantly accepted.
