My Commander

I randomly found this book while browsing Goodreads and I am so glad I did. BUT, I am now so frustrated because my library doesn't carry the rest of the series!!!

Now, don't go into this book expecting fine literature. This book is hilarious and fun. About 100 pages in I decided it felt like really great fan-fiction. Why? Because there are some ridiculous things that go down, yet people just giggle and let it go (A woman climbing on a table in order to stare down her mate and then getting into a makeout session) or moments which could have been cut but were kept for humor (the grenade.... really? If this was IRL that woman would never be allowed near a weapon again). There was also a lot of ‘let's leave the room and let them talk– talk takes two minutes and then rejoin the group'. The immaturity and naivety was hilarious, but also shocking... as well as changing in personality (Mad woman without coffee one morning and then never again??)

To summarize the above: It is corny, silly, and pushes what we are willing to believe.

But, damn I loved this. I will probably always smile when I think of the tampon adventure. Also, for all the Alphas and mega men, they were normal ass guys!! Possessive? Yeah, but they blushed, they laughed, were dorks, and even bent to their ladies will. I love these men. And the women? ...well, we didn't get too many and I wouldn't put them to any tests (although Meryn isn't used to having friends, soooooo), but I liked the personalities. Meryn, while immature at times, is amazing. She is a geek, a nerd, and a computer hacker – hell yeah. Give me more mature ladies like Meryn PLEASE!! I don't feel like she and Aiden are the best match – interest-wise, but I feel like they will grow together and learn from one another.

Fantasy was pretty slim, there isn't a lot of magic or shifting going on, but it didn't feel needed.

I honestly, devoured this book and I'm DYING for the next one, but I've spent too much money on books lately I don't know if I can justify buying more :( but this will be a difficult battle of wills!
