It was rough to Zack struggle with his sexuality, but his journey to acceptance, and eventually love, was really good to read.

The heroes are the perfect pairing of smarmy and reserved, taking the trope of the experienced queer man and the man in denial and adding in the angsty spin of a Navy background. Listen to Off Base by Annabeth Albert available from Rakuten Kobo. When the two decide to become roommates, sparks begin to fly and Zack begins to open up more and confront the many issues in his life. Albert’s continued rise in the world of contemporary M/M romance is justified considering just how enjoyable Off Base is. It just so happens that Pike, a shameless flirt and friend of a friend, is looking for a new place to live in the San Diego area as well. The book tells the story of Zack, a Navy SEAL struggling with his sexuality, who is being bullied by a teammate leading him to request off base housing. Off Base by Annabeth Albert was a quiet revelation for me when I requested the book from NetGalley. Off Base combines a sexy romance with an emotionally dramatic story and is a great start to the Out of Uniform series. Sometimes when you take a chance on a book you are rewarded with a wonderful experience.
