When career and love collide, something's got to give. Reads like a Star Trek episode with a mishmash of battles, intrigue, and bed-play. There is a lot of story and action aside from Monroe and Kale's relationship, which I enjoyed. Monroe has his concerns, Kale has his, and overall it felt rushed since 60+% of the story had nothing to do with their problems so when it came time to resolve it, I was like...okay. Sure. I didn't really care.I had disconnects with this story. First, I fell out of the story with some of the world-building that seemed so contemporary that it didn't seem futuristic and pulled me out: paperback books and boxers. I also had an issue with their relationship and the origin of the conflict, Kale's argument while valid had an erroneous conclusion. Finally, though there was a solid, action driven plot line, it wasn't terribly exciting.~~ A copy was provided to me for a No Glitter Blown review~~Reviewed for Hearts On Fire Reviews
