Sometimes you only get one chance at a second chance.
The Distance Between Us, Book 5
Still finding his footing after a long-overdue divorce, Marcus is looking forward to some mind-numbing drinking while ogling the grooms at Chris and Julien’s wedding. He never expected his attention to be diverted by the gorgeous best man.
One of Julien’s French Foreign Legion buddies, Timur doesn’t speak much English, but language is no barrier to Marcus understanding exactly what the huge Tartar wants—a one-night stand.
Except that one night turns into two, three, then more, which puts Marcus on edge. After Timur is done house-sitting for the honeymooning couple, he’s headed back to the Legion for another five years. Like it or not, once Timur gets on that plane, the fling is over.
Unfortunately, Marcus forgot to tell his heart not to fall in love. And this time, if history repeats and he makes another wrong decision, he may never see his tattooed Legionnaire lover again.
Warning: Contains a soldier who makes up for his lack of English by using his hands to read his lover’s body; a chef-turned-bartender who no longer believes in love; a length of paracord that probably wasn’t meant to be used this way; and a couple of newlyweds who are game for some four-way play.

Even though this is book 5 in this series it can be read as
stand alone. I’ve not read any of the previous books and I was not lost at all.
We start off at Marcus’s co-worker Chris and his partner
Julian wedding. Marcus being newly divorced from a guy is happy for the couple
but knows from personal experience not everything will end up perfect and happy
ever after. After the divorce, Marcus has taken a job bartending and is barley
scraping by. But he’s finally free to start living his life again. If he can
just get over the past negative hurts. Timur
is over from the Continent for his Best friend Julian’s wedding, they were in
the French Foreign Legion together and has/have seen many terrible things
together . Timur is a native of the Ukraine but doesn’t call any one place
home. He has resigned himself to be in the Legion until retirement and then who
knows. All he wants is someone to love him like Chris and Julian love each
other.
This is mainly about Marcus and Timur however there are
several secondary characters that do play major roles in the book, especially
at the end. But these authors never seem to lose focus on who the actually book
is about. You really do feel sorry for Marcus and Timur both, Marcus for having
such a bad marriage and losing the self confidence you can see coming out
during his cooking. And Timur just going out there, laying everything on the
line and be rejected a still not losing faith. Chris and Julian, being the rock
for both of them, as well as the other bartenders and Marcus boss. I enjoyed the tour around Seattle, having
never been. My only issue and I didn’t find it a problem just unnecessary and
it will probably turn people off, is the foursome. Why? I will be going back
and starting this series from the beginning!
