On Point by Annabeth Albert
Review by Lauren
source: copy from Netgalley; all opinions are my own
Official Summary: 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.
Review: Based on the summary, I thought this book might take place mostly on the mission while the two wait for rescue, but that’s really just the beginning of the story. I really loved On Point. I’m a big fan of friends to lovers romances, and I think this one was done really well. On Point is the third in the Out of Uniform series – and this is a favorite series of mine! I can’t wait for the fourth book. You can read these books out of order, but I suggest reading them in order since you’ll see the characters in all the books. For example, I already knew a bit about Ben and Maddox before reading On Point and it just made me even more excited to check out their story.
Friends to Lovers Romance in On Point by Annabeth Albert: Def. Recommend! #mmromance Click To TweetOne thing that I really loved about On Point is that while the two guys are already best friends, that doesn’t mean that becoming more than that is easy. They still have their doubts and worries, and these are things they have to work through – together. Definitely recommended!
Awesome review. I’m a fan of friends to lovers romances. Thanks for sharing this series. I’ll check out the whole series. 🙂
Stopping by from the #getsocial event to say hi!
I’ve never heard of this author but will check out her books thanks to your review.
This sounds like a very deep love story, and your review is great. Hugs…
I’m completely shocked that I didn’t like this one.
I loved the first half on the mission but once they got home I really wished that Maddox stood up for himself more.
For What It’s Worth
I can understand that! I guess I just took most of that as Maddox not wanting to lose his friend as well as anything romantic.
I would have thought that it would be a mission as well for the most part I confess
