Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway: Unconditional Surrender Box Set







Interviewing Army Ranger, John Cowboy Kale by Brit Blaise

 

Question: What character would you be in Guardians of the Galaxy?

Cowboy: Are you serious? I guess my friends and family would say I’m most like Groot. I’d like to think I’m more like the raccoon, Rocket.  Maybe not size so much, but rock’in the f’ing mission.

 

Question: Who is a hero you admire and why?

Cowboy: Without a doubt that would be my grandfather, Boss Kale. When I was recently faced with one of the most unusual adventures I’ve ever experienced, at first I thought my grandfather was wrong to lead us down the dangerous path we were on. By the time our mission was over, I realized I should have been leading the charge.  He’d done the right thing while it hadn’t even occurred to me. That’s very humbling.

 

What is one of the hardest things about being gay?

Cowboy: For me it was loneliness and isolation. Maybe I could have found someone to spend time with if I wasn’t Ranger. I can honestly say I didn’t know one single gay Ranger while I was stationed in Afghanistan. I’m not saying there weren’t any. I didn’t know anyone. There wasn’t a good reason to come out…it’s not like it would have made a difference.

 

If you think M/M romance is hot this is the book for you. Unconditional Surrender has 13 breath taking stories by multiple authors. They are all based on military men who fell in love with their friend while serving in the Armed Forces. Some of these stories are also about retired soldiers as well. But all of them have a happy ending.
These stories are amazing and hot with a lot of heartfelt emotions that you can feel coming from the each character. This bundle was written by some amazing authors they made you fall in love right alone with the characters. This bundle is perfect for people that want to be introduced to m/m romance as well as finding new authors to follow. What I loved most was I got to read about military love with different writing styles. Although I love all the stories I will not be writing about them all. I will only write about a couple of my favorites.

Kerry Adrienne's
CRUISE CONTROL was about two men connecting. Can you say love at first sight? Former soldier Blake Best struggles with trying to get his family to accept him for who he is. His father was a die-hard homophobe and his sister was no better, In fact she was a true bitch with no heart. Blake and his sister are co-owners of Best Pharma. In route to a board meeting in Atlanta, Blake's Mazarati breaks down and is taken to the nearest repair shop. The problem is there is no chance of his car being repaired in time for him to make it to his meeting in Atlanta. Parker Montieth is the garage owner and chief mechanic, which happen to be a former Airman offers to drive Blake to his meetings because he was also going to Atlanta. Encountering Blake's sister's hate was heartbreaking for Parker and embarrassing for Blake. But, the encounter is what brought Paul and Blake together. The start of a happy journey to a loving a relationship.

RESILIENT HEART shows you sometimes it take something tragic to happen for you to realize the love of your life was stand in front of you all the time. Xander and Mackey were down low lover since they both enlisted. Xander was in love with Mackey but Mackey was determining to keep their relationship a secret. Seeing that Mackey was bi and was into women as well. He wasn’t interest in be inclusive with Xander. Word was getting out that they were supposing seeing each other sexually. They both wanting to make a career with the service and hide their affair pushed their relationship even further closet, which hurt Xander. When Xander got injured everything Mackey was trying to hide it to the surface. He realized how much he really loved Xander. He came home help him through his injuries and emotional challenges. As an amputee, Xander's didn’t want to feel like a pity case for Mackey to fix. He did want to accept Mackey’s help. He didn’t feel like he was good enough for Mackey's love. Xander was scared that Mackey loved him out of guilt not the real love he was hoping for. Mackey wasn’t willing to let go and he was not going to let Xander push him away. He will determine to show Xander that he loved him and was here to stay through good time and especially bad time.
It’s nothing like a romance filled with love. These stories showed how loyal a lover could be. They showed you that love could conquer all. I really enjoyed these stories. I gave it a hot 3-½ stars.
　


Excerpt:


Sam still recorded the burning of the evidence of a crime that would never be paid for. Not really. Would it be enough for Sam? Would he blame himself because he would have made a lousy witness? In the end, that’s what let them go free.

Sam lived.

The Dooley family reputation had tainted him.

A good lawyer would make him look even worse than he was. Cowboy walked over to stand next to Sam. “Is there anything else I can do?”

A moment of pain passed over Sam’s face. These idiots may not understand, but Sam did. They’d proven Sam’s worthlessness. How could Cowboy show him they were wrong? This hadn’t done it. This hadn’t been enough to make Sam whole.

“Did these fuckers pay you, Sam?” It occurred to Cowboy that maybe they hadn’t.

“No.”

“How much do they owe you?”

“Two hundred.”

A haze of pain, and blinding rage blasted Cowboy. “If you fucking left him so you wouldn’t have to pay him—” In the next second both of his arms were caught, by Marco on one side and Rocky on the other. Only when Sam touched his back did Cowboy manage to breathe.

Tom backed away while digging into his back pocket.

“I doubt your carrying what you owe this young man,” Marco said. “I’d be real careful if I were you.”

Tom pulled out every bill from his wallet and then held it open to show he taken it all out. “There’s at least a thousand here.”

Marco let go of Cowboy to reach for it. “You’re getting off cheap. Be expecting a bill from Boss Kale for the muskox. And if you don’t reimburse him for his expenses coming here to collect this debt, I don’t live far. Ask the sheriff, he knows I’m not the forgiving type.”

 

Blurb:

Author bio

No longer in Arizona, I reside on the outskirts of a small Ohio town with my husband and son. The dream of restoring a Victorian has passed into someone else’s hands and the home my husband found (while our daughter and grandchildren were still living with us) is big enough to get lost inside…while writing my next story. I’m taking the drastic changes cancer has made in our lives one day at time! Keep in touch with my latest project at:
