Dual Release for Resilient Heart & Civilian Master
Resilient Heart
by Annabeth Albert
Genre: MM Romance
Originally released as part of the Unconditional Surrender bundle, now available as a stand-alone novella complete with BRAND-NEW 10,000 word short story/epilogue. When a wounded soldier is forced to accept help from his former best friend, both men discover the true strength of their entwined hearts.
Army IT specialist Xander keeps his emotions wired as tight as his NETCOM gear, but when he’s seriously injured by an IED, his whole life unravels. Running out of options, Xander must accept help from his ex-friend-with-benefits, Mackey. However, Xander’s had feelings for Mackey for years, and close quarters only complicates his emotions. Further, Xander doesn’t know which is worse: combating his inner demons or dealing with Mackey’s guilty kindnesses.
Mackey’s always kept his emotions close to his chest, but now he’s got a secret that could destroy his one chance with the man he cares far too much for. Both men will have to heal their wounded hearts to ensure a future together.
Entwined Future: In this new short story, Mackey has news that could change everything for him and Xander, but a visit from Xander's family jeopardizes Mackey's plans--and forces Xander to confront some harsh truths.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
*I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.*
Seeing an injured soldier trying to cope with a new life is always a good read. I like seeing their struggle and it gives real feeling to the story.
"They've got those motorized carts. You can drive around the store." Leave it to Mackey to make sure Xander is ok. Though he didn't mean to ignite the pride in his partner, he did. Xander had his little pity party and depressive time. Mackey really made it better. This was truly a romance story! It was hot, sexy and demanding.
I also enjoyed the 2nd short story at the end with the same characters. It was interesting to see more about these men.

I have to say I enjoyed seeing Flynn walk Clay through the BDSM stuff without rushing. Most stories jump right into it. But actually taking the time to explain not only shows he cares for Clay, but it helps those readers who may not have a clue about that lifestyle.
I was a little thrown off by 2 Epilogues at first, then I realized the 2nd was sort of a little short story with the same characters. I liked seeing more about their life together after the book was done. It was a well written, sexy M/M romance.
