Synopsis:
Petty Officer Bacon, a navy SEAL and ace sharpshooter, has been on the front lines of more than his fair share of dangerous ops. Yet when a minor injury relegates him to the beta team, he’s tasked with what may be his riskiest assignment yet: the silver fox journalist he’s babysitting is the hottest, most charismatic man he’s ever encountered.
Award-winning journalist Spencer Bryant may have been named one of Pride magazine’s most eligible bachelors of the year, but he’s not looking to change his relationship status. He’s a consummate professional who won’t risk his ethics or impeccable reputation by getting involved with a source. Even a sexy-as-hell military man. But while Spencer can resist his physical attraction to Bacon, he has less control over his emotions—especially when the mission goes sideways and the two men are trapped alone.

He’s a consummate professional who won’t risk his ethics or impeccable reputation by getting involved with a source. Even a sexy-as-hell military man. But while Spencer can resist his physical attraction to Bacon, he has less control over his emotions—especially when the mission goes sideways and the two men are trapped alone.
Getting out of the jungle alive turns out to be easy compared to facing the truth about their feelings for one another back in the real world. And whether or not they can build a future is a different story altogether.

Excerpt:
Bacon was hanging on to life by one index finger. Literally. One sore, overused finger was all that separated him and a plunge down the sheer cliff face. The desert sun had sweat rolling down his face, stinging his eyes.
“Come on, Bake. You’ve got this!” Curly called at him. He was already safely on the ridge, along with several other SEAL team members. This was the last step in a grueling training mission that had tried their stamina with a HALO jump followed by a long run over rough terrain and this final climb.
5 Stars!
Tight Quarters is book 5 in the Out of Uniform series and can be read as a standalone. This book is about a SEAL and a journalist. The journalist embeds with the SEALs and our MCs connect.
I absolutely loved Bacon. He is so sweet and caring and supportive of his friends, which is amazing. One thing that really struck me in this book, was that Bacon was a former emo, and was also pansexual and proud of that fact. We don’t see many similar characters in books. Hopefully, this can open the door for more.
Spencer came off as sophisticated and really smart. I did love how fast he came to love Bacon, though, and while it was fast, it wasn't instalove.
This book was amazing. I was hooked from the beginning. There were a couple of sad parts that made me tear up but overall Bacon got what the HEA he deserved in the end. I loved the connection between the characters and the overall writing style. I also cannot wait for Rooster's book, he is such an interesting guy.
