Virtual Book Tour: Rank & File by L.A. Witt (Review+Giveaway)

About Rank & File

Senior Chief Will Curtis is as straitlaced as they come. While his fellow Sailors have partied their way through their enlistments, he’s had his eye on the prize—making master chief and retiring after thirty years of service.

Lieutenant Brent Jameson is a Navy brat turned Annapolis grad. He’s lived and breathed the military his whole life, and he knows he’s destined for great things—once he’s done paying his dues at the bottom of the ladder.

When their paths cross, both men know better than to give in to temptation, but that doesn’t stop them. It also doesn’t keep them from coming back for more, even though being discovered would sink their careers. Something has to give—Will can retire, Brent can resign, or they’ll both face court-martial.

But there’s also the option neither wants to acknowledge: jump ship and walk away from each other instead of ending their careers over a fledgling relationship. And they should probably decide before they fall in love.

Except—too late.

4.5 Stars!

Will Curtis is determined to make master chief and retire after 30 years of service. Lieutenant Brent Jameson is hoping his life will be better once he advances in his military career because so far, it hasn't been anything like he expected.

When Will and Brent meet, they know they can't give into their attraction. Not without serious repercussions to both their careers in the Navy, at least. But when the temptation proves too much, they decide to give it a try even if it has to remain a secret. After all, neither of them expects it to become more than sex, until it does.

I absolutely loved Will and Brent, they had such a sizzling chemistry. There was no way they couldn't give into temptation with how hot their attractions for each other burned. The sex scenes were plentiful, intense and passionate, and from the start, it was obvious it was more than sex. Their connection was too strong. And while they had to keep things under wraps and remain hidden, the progression of their relationship and their growing feelings was awesome to see.

While I loved Will, I can't say I loved how he handled finding out that they had been potentially discovered. I really wanted to shake him and ask him what he was thinking. I understand Will's reasons, but they made me wonder if he was the right man for Brent.

I loved that they both had great support, Brent from his boss and Will from his friend Noah. They really helped them a lot, especially in the last portion of the book.

Overall, this was a fantastic read! Very enjoyable, very well-written, very hot and sexy, with lovable characters I couldn't help but root for. Definitely recommendable!
