How it all began –
I was so excited when The Begining came out- this was my chance to go back and see how the guys acquired their intense comradeship and the deep sense of brotherhood they share –
I had so many questions
What really happened to them?
Why did four uniquely different men forge such a fearsome bond of kinship?
What led them to the program and why did they stay?
And I can say with absolute surety I was not disappointed!
I got a look at who they were – not just the men they had become -but the men they once were – the softer side of four of the most dangerous and alpha males ever brought together.
This was a short read but it was intense and steamy and ..
Yeah, just grab yourself a copy – lock the door – and enjoy the read
I have read this whole series to date and each book is packed with suspense – intrigue – deception – steamy romance and a whole lot of “OMG” and “Oh he!! no” moments – Great edge of your seat series that always leaves me wanting more
Oh and just to let you know he is mine…
A really promising story!
I’m so intrigued right now.
I’ve been playing around this author for a while now and I gave it a shot. I really liked it.
It was crass, raw, dark, and it got me glued and wanting for more.
All the four heroes had something that got my attention and I wanted to know them deeply.
I’m really excited about the next books.
HOLY HOTNESS!! This is my first read by N.M. Catalano and it won’t be the last. I have the next book already loaded on my kindle after she enticed me with these 4 hot military badasses. She touched on a little of each of their stories in this prequel and I was so involved with each of them that it ended too fast. I devoured this book. It was Frekn Hot!
The Beginning:A Prequel
by N.M Catalano
This was my first time reading anything by N.M. Catalano, and by the end of this prequel I clicked the rest of the series. She had me hook, line and sinker.
This story tells you about four men Bull, Rock, Gringo, and Snake who all joined the army to escape their lives for different reasons. Strangers thrown together when they are selected for a special ops group called “The Program.” To become a fighting unit they are put through mental,physical and psychological torture for months. Determined not to break they form a bond, a brotherhood that nothing or no one can destroy. They are fierce,loyal, dangerous but most of all brothers forever! I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Four men with nothing in common but the Army, as an escape from something they hope to forget, are thrown together as a team. Pushed to every limit with success. Put into unimaginable danger because together they are the best weapon. Blood is not shared except in training and on the battlefields but they became brothers just the same. They share quarters, hopes and a future. But this is only the beginning.
Rock, Gringo, Snake, and Bull are a fighting force and a unit, in and out of the Army.
I am salivating for their stories now.
A good introduction to The Program.
A great introduction to Rock, Bull, Snake and Gringo. I can tell I’m really going to like this series. Trained by the Army and disillusioned by corruption, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them.
The guys had a brutal beginning which is tols in this prequel. I liked seeing how they met and became the brothers they now are. Great short read.
I enjoyed reading this book. I was able to see why the guys were the way they became in the later stories. A great addition to the series.
I understand this is a prequel to a series. We meet four men from all different ways of life, that are brought together for a reason, but not for the ones they intended. Each had a past, different from each other, but something they regretted and wanted to escape. The army had something in mind for them – Special Forces … to break them down and rebuild them into machines… they endured more than anyone could ever imagine to get there … but the one thing it did was to make them true brothers, not by blood, but brothers just the same. this book was a to show us how it was all started… interested in reading the series now.
