15. This book did not disappoint I Loved it Camouflaged takes place in Afghanistan where Gabe meets Alexis, who is there as a volunteer to do aid work for the United Nations Alexis presents herself as one tough cookie who won t let a player like Gabe seduce her, but whether she wants to admit it or not, she weakens a bit to his charm Gabe has been assigned to watch out for Alexis and escort her as she fulfills her duties as a volunteer But suddenly Gabe is in a position where he must protect Alexis [...]

16. You know how I always go on about how I don t like novella s, well this is one I can definitely can get behind It might help that it s over a hundred pages long and it was so easy to connect with these two main characters.Gabe is definitely a confident, borderline arrogant player He looks amazing, has some serious skills and the boy knows it and uses it Serious is not his game, but it seems that most woman don t mind as long as they can have a little piece of him.Alexis though is not impressed S [...]

17. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review Gabe Thompson had me from the first page of Camouflaged He s an incredibly hot, sexy soldier deployed to Afghanistan who knows how to please a woman and have her coming back for He will give them his body but never his heart All that changes when he meets UN volunteer Alexis Garcia These two are complete opposites She can t stand a egotistical, womanizing man So, you can imagine her first impression of Gabe when he refers to her as babe when he [...]

18. I received a copy of this book along with the other books in this series so far from the author in exchange for honest reviews.This is technically the first book in the author s Hidden series but I am not sure if it was written first or not Either way, this book is the story of Gabe and Alexis and their time together in Afghanistan And what a story it is Gabe is a deceptively simple, young, man whore who is in Afghanistan on his second tour of duty He and his best friend Nick had signed up toget [...]

19. I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest reviewI really enjoyed this book, Selena does a fantastic job building the characters and the story line so that you re sucked in from page one This book starts before her other book Hidden, and gives you a better understanding about Gabe You really see a completely different side of Gabe that you never would have expected Gabe Thompson is known as a major playboy, and why wouldn t he be He s gorgeous, an American Soldier and fantastic in bed He i [...]

20. We don t have a future, Natalya I m not going to marry you and take you back to the States, so either sex is okay or it s not Your choice 6% into Camouflaged I had to say to myself, Well, hot da n This guy Gabe sure does not bite his tongue I had to applaud his honesty, but boy I felt sorry for Natalya who was living in subpar conditions and really thought that this American soldier would take her away from her native land, Afghanistan.Enter Alexis She is a young woman that works with the United [...]

21. I m not a huge fan of romance novels at least not the old school version where the same old story is rehashed over and over again BORING That being said, I am a total sucker for a good love story with a fresh perspective and dare I say lots of sex If you are romance novelist that is looking to draw in a reader like me the perfect combination is a modern storyline If you are looking to sweeten the pot, highlight a member of our armed forces in Afghanistan Yeah, I m one of those I LOVE a hot guy i [...]

Once again, I ve had the pleasure of receiving an ARC of a Selena Laurence gem Camouflaged is the prequel to Selena s book, Hidden I loved Gabe in Hidden so I ve been curious about his back story My curiosity has been quenched, but now I have a new problem.I need Gabe to have his happy ending What he goes through in his life is not a clich d tragic childhood But it s not a sitcom with the perfect upbringing either And it s sad when a strong man is so held back by actions of the past that he can [...]

27. This was a free novella I picked up on At 124 pages, it has a full story arc, but it ends on a CLIFFHANGER Which, of course, made me go purchase the whole series in a box set because I just had to read it all I wasn t too sure about Gabe at first because he was such an asshole But he showed some great character growth throughout the story, and by the end I started to wonder if he really could change for the better Alexis was young and na ve, and Gabe was NOT what she needed I also worried that s [...]

30. Testosterone levels and their female counterparts run high in this erotic spoof in the Afghan desert Despite the cheesy dialog this is a pretty good book When the story strays from its primary theme of lust, it explores the realities of war, raising it above many of the novels of a similar ilk When their sexual thoughts and actions occasionally come up for air one can almost feel the blazing heat of desert days and the freezing cold of Afghan nights in other words there is actually a story hidde [...]
