Synopsis

Never fall for your best friend…

Pushing thirty, with his reenlistment looming, decorated navy sniper Maddox Horvat is taking a long look at what he really wants in life. And what he wants is Ben Tovey. It isn’t smart, falling for his best friend and fellow SEAL, but ten years with Ben has forged a bond so intimate Maddox can’t ignore it. He needs Ben by his side forever—heart and soul.

Ben admits he likes what he’s seen—his friend’s full lower lip and the perfect muscles of his ass have proved distracting more than once. But Ben’s still reeling from a relationship gone to hell, and he’s not about to screw up his friendship with Maddox, too.

Until their next mission throws Ben and Maddox closer together than ever before, with only each other to depend on.

Now, in the lonely, desperate hours awaiting rescue, the real challenge—confronting themselves, their future and their desires—begins. Man to man, friend to friend, lover to lover.

I wish I could give this one 10 stars.

I sound like a broken record. When I reviewed At Attention (book 2 in this series) I said I didn’t think the books in the Out of Uniform series could get any better. I think I was wrong. OK maybe not wrong exactly. It’s just that every book in this series has been so perfect for me. On Point was so emotionally satisfying, including bringing on the tears by the time I reached chapter #4. I just don’t really know how this story could have been any better.

Best friends to lovers – oh yeah, one of my favorite tropes – and not one, but two, hot SEALs. Ben and Maddox have been best buddies since they went through BUD/S training together, over 10 years ago. Along the way they’ve each had relationships, both good and bad. Ben was married shortly and it was a spectacular, and trust-breaking, failure. Now he will never again give that much trust to anyone.

Maddox has secretly had a crush on Ben going all the way back to BUD/S training even though he had a boyfriend at the time. Now that Ben is living with him it’s getting harder and harder for him to push his feelings back.

I wish this review could do justice to Annabeth’s writing in On Point. OMG – what she puts these guys through in this book! This one was gut-wrenching in places but I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. I won’t say more except that there is definitely an HEA.

If you like M/M books with hot guys, especially ones in Uniform, you really need to get this book.
