By USA Today Bestselling author, Sybil Bartel comes this heart-pounding, Romantic Suspense series of standalone books about Former Special Forces Military Operatives! Come meet the Alpha heroes who served together in combat, but are now fighting to save the women they love! Being the drummer for the hottest new rock band should’ve been a dream come true. Sold out shows, women, more money than I … come true. Sold out shows, women, more money than I deserved…
But I didn’t want any of it.
The fame sucked, the money was a burden and I’d given up my one shot at ever having her—my best friend’s sister.
I wasn’t supposed to touch her. My best friend made me swear I wouldn’t. Then he was deployed, and he told me to look out for her. Except being around her while still keeping my distance was slowly killing me. Touring with the band should’ve been the perfect escape… Until I screwed up.
I screwed up so bad, she was half-conscious in my arms, fighting for her life.

This book highlights a very serious issue and I’m so glad to have read it. Oh boy is this book an important read. There is such a big picture painted with this one. It addresses abuse in a very cathartic way. It shows it from so many perspectives, very eye opening. Absolutely loved this book, Bennett is one in a million.
I LOVE this book!!! I adore all of Sybil Bartel’s books but Bennett is extra special. Ms. Bartel has created some fantastic characters in her books in this series. Typically, one or more of these characters make an appearance in her newest book. This book was no exception with appearances from some of my favorites. At least they used to be my favorite until I read BENNETT!!! Bennett is a beautiful, sensitive Rock Star who is all heart and literally wears it on “his sleeve“. Since he was a kid, his heart beat for only one girl…the one he could never have. Elyssia is the little sister of his childhood best friend which always meant hands off. She’s sweet, kind and innocent. A lot more innocent then Bennett could have imagined. Elyssia has loved Bennett ever since her brother brought him home when she was a kid. These two have many obstacles in their way, the biggest of which is Elyssia’s very angry and extremely violent brother Marcus. Will they finally take the chance that they’ve hoped for their whole lives or will anger and fear make them walk away from a chance at an extraordinary life together? This book heartfelt, exciting, funny, sexy, sad, etc. There are always sub-plots in Sybil’s books so you’re sitting on the edge of your seat with all the twist and turns. Bennett is the real deal!!! I highly recommend it!
Bennett is the drummer for a hot new band that is going places. He went from a poor foster boy who was bullied to a successful, wealthy young man. The woman who had cared for him and treated him like her son had died and Bennett used his wealth to look after her children, Elyssia and Marcus. He’s loved her for years. Setting them up so they would always have their mother’s home to live in.
When Elyssia is badly beaten, he calls in one of his friends to help her. Another character from this series with medical knowledge. Bennett suspects what has happened to her and guesses she’s keeping quiet to protect the person responsible.
Drama unfolds. Bennett and Elyssia finally have their moment together. But things are never that straight forward. Marcus, Elyssia’s brother is against any kind of relationship between them. He’s volatile and unstable. Suffering depression and PTSD after his time in the military.
As with all Sybil Bartel’s books. The road to love is never an easy one. Loved this. Loved Bennett. Can’t wait for the next book by this author.
This is a pretty intense story, although all of Sybil Bartel’s books are. Bennett and Elyssia met in their teens. He was best friends with her brother, and in foster care. Elyssia’s mother took an interest and treated him like her own. Now Ben is a rock star and Elyssia is fighting to save her brother who came back very messed up after serving in the Marines. Although Bennett is part of the Uncompromising series, Ben is in a band with Graham Allen from No Apologies. There are quite a few cameos from her other books as well. Another must read by this author!
Loved this book. EverY woman’s dream to be consumed and loved this way
This is the second book by this author that I have read. I loved the first one (Grind) so I had a feeling that I would love this one too. I was so right. This book broke me in so many ways. As the wife of a combat veteran I’ve seen how PTSD can affect those who have served. It’s not easy watching the one(s) you love struggle and suffer. Reading Elyssia’s plight with her brother Marcus wasn’t easy. It was hard, real hard. I understood her desire to help him, to be there for him. But the effect it was having on her wasn’t easy to read at all. That’s where Bennett (Ben) steps in. God I wish he had manned up and come back sooner. But I’m glad that he finally came back when he did. And I’m glad that he not only kept putting his foot down but that he also didn’t give up on Elyssia even when she made it difficult for him. I also loved that he didn’t let what he band mates said affect his decisions and opinions. There two had their struggles but they are an amazing couple. This author really knows how to keep you reading as I just didn’t want to stop until I was finished. Great book, great read!
