This one was just "meh" for me. The premise...a cop and a SEAL. Bring it! It wasn't brought. Viktor walked all over Aiden and he took it. No once, but twice! No freaking way did Viktor ever redeem himself IMO. Aiden deserved so much better and way more groveling. This was more action than romance which isn't my personal preference but it's a decent start to a new series than I'll give another chance with the next book. I am on a thriller rage. A Reason to Stay had a reason to read. Excitement, thrill, short on sex but good. I cheered on SEAL Viktor and Deputy Aiden. They had years of an undefined relationship between them and a blind man could tell they deserved to be together. I am bummed because for as long as I kept putting off the Sanctuary series, I feel as if I did my reading out of order. I would advise anyone about to read this book, that at times it can be read alone, but references to Sanctuary and it's people keep cropping up making me frustrated that I kept "researching". Gonna enjoy the rest of my weekend in Sanctuary.
Do You like book A Reason To Stay (2014)?
Beautifully written, even the sad bits. Cannot wait for the rest of this series.
