Retired Marine Colonel Logan Wilde is proud of his years of military service. He’s not much different in civilian life as he was in the Corps; he’s dedicated, conservative and has a strong sense of what’s right and wrong. When Logan meets Richard while he’s out trick-or-treating with his young grandson, the sparks fly and for the first time in longer than Logan likes to remember, his motor slams out of idle and into full throttle. It doesn’t even matter that the man who’s peaked his interest is a liberal pacifist. The heart wants what the heart wants and Logan isn’t going to let a little thing like different beliefs get in the way of what he desires.
Richard has been raising his grandson, Nick, since the boy was three. To Richard, nothing is as important as giving Nick a safe, loving and stable home and even his attraction of Logan has to take a backseat to what is best for his grandson. It doesn’t help that Nick is standoffish and doesn’t take to strangers, or that the boy’s deadbeat mother is causing trouble again. Even with all the obstacles, Richard can’t deny his attraction to Logan and wants to be with him. The question is whether these two men can battle the outside forces, bent on keeping them apart, to make a loving family unit of their own.
Family Unit is the latest release from Z.A. Maxfield. Once again this talented multi-published author has penned a well-written story filled with an intriguing, smooth flowing plot, great characters and a realistic premise. It’s not often that an author writes a romance where one or both characters aren’t young sexy hunks. In this case, Logan and Richard fall into the sexy category, but both are far from young. They’re mature, responsible and loving men who just happen to be past the bar hopping and carousing part of their lives.
These two men couldn’t be more different…retired Marine Corps Colonel Logan and scared-of-guns liberal minded, Richard. Even though they’re polar opposites in opinions and life experiences, ZA does a fantastic job bringing them together and she does it with creativity, flair, realism and an immediate attraction neither can deny. As they grow closer and their emotional attachment deepens, their happiness is threatened from the outside when Nick disappears. Despite his opposition for what Logan’s military history stands for, Richard finds himself relying on those things he fears the most. Logan is willing to do whatever is necessary to help the man he loves and the child who needs him.
I admit it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I couldn’t read it fast enough to get to the end to find out what happened to these lovable men and Nick. In fact, it’s probably my favorite ZA Maxfield book to date. There wasn’t anything about this heartwarming story I didn’t like. Give it as chance. I think you’ll enjoy it too.
