Being career military is difficult on any relationship, so being male and gay only makes meeting a lover harder. That’s why Marines Vic and Damien, decide spending a weekend together in Las Vegas is the perfect answer to keeping their love secret. Except, they keep their rendezvous so secret that Damien doesn’t have a usable alibi to the brutal murders of his ex-wife and her boyfriend. It doesn’t look good when he’s found covered in blood and dirt, claiming to have been hurt while changing a tire, but if he confesses to being with Vic, it could ruin both their careers.

Committed is the second book by Ms. Stevens following the lives and love of two gay Marines. These two might have a few problems but there isn’t any doubt how much Vic and Damien love each other. This story is short at only 15K, but the author packs a great deal in its length that keeps the smooth plot flowing fast and furious from the first page to the last.

I loved Damien’s desire to protect Vic from exposure, and Vic’s determination to expose them both, to prevent Damien from being charged with murder. The sex between Vic and Damien is blistering hot, the love and passion intense and the emotional bond tight and lasting. Despite the difficulties these two men face, they are perfect for each other and always have the best interest of the other at heart. Add in dealing with their commanding officer, police interrogators and concern for two young boys who have lost their mother, you have an action packed story you’ll be sure to enjoy.
