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.

Contains spoilers
After all I really can't continue with this series. I only read the first chapter of this book and it was enough for me. Well, I didn't technically finish reading the whole chapter.
Here's my three issues—the first one contains mild spoilers from the second book.
01. '[...]two of their best friends had just gotten engaged.' This refers to Apollo and Dylan who got engaged at the end of the second book. Okay, but when on earth were they best friends? In the second book all of them were actually in the same space... twice. Dylan more, but not because they were friends who wanted to spend time together, but because they just happened to be in the same place, and then because Ben needed to throw his latest conquest at someone. Dylan, Ben, and Maddox are not even friends, let alone best friends. Apollo, yes, he's their friend, but then again, there's no 'best' there.
02. I'm looking at 300+ pages of denial. What's worse is that this has been going on for a very long time and while I'm glad the reader isn't put through all of that, that's just too much. I understand denial, but when it goes for 10+ years it's just ridiculous, especially when they live together.
03. I didn't like Ben at all in the second book so I don't want to read about him. Like I really don't want to read about him.
Seeing how I'm dropping the third book I'm just going to drop the whole series. One of the books features Dustin, Dylan's brother, and I really don't want to read about him either. I don't think I know any of the characters from the other books and if I did come across them before, yikes, pretty forgettable. I'm not put off Annabeth Albert, though, I enjoyed the writing on all of the books I read from this author, it's just that Out of Uniform is the same plot recycled again and again and it seems that once, twice if I really push it, is all I can go through.
