Captain Mark Thomas’s world has been tossed on its head: A long overdue but still unexpected divorce. A promotion out of left field. Last-second orders to a ship where careers go to die. As the dust settles in his new home, he barely recognizes his life, but he sure recognizes the loneliness creeping in.

Diego Ramírez wants nothing to do with the military or its men. Not after the Navy burned him both literally and figuratively, costing him his career, his health, and ultimately his green card. Now working illegally in an Anchor Point bar, he keeps the military and its personnel at arm’s length.

But after a single moment of eye contact across the bar, Mark and Diego can’t resist each other. As a one-night stand quickly turns into more, Diego knows he’s playing with fire. Now he can stick around and let things with Mark inevitably fall apart, or he can run like hell and wonder what might have been. One way or another, Diego knows he’s about to get burned. Again.

50% of the author’s royalties from this book will be donated to charities supporting US military veterans who have been deported or are at risk of deportation.

Like all others in the series, Once Burned grabs you and has constantly thinking of where it’s going next. I loved the storyline as well as the characters. Closing my eyes I create my own visual image of these two handsome studs making things work when so many things are against them.

I can’t wait to get started on the next book in the series. Until then, if what I’ve said hasn’t convinced you already this book and author are awesome.

4.0 out of 5 stars Close Call
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018

This one had all the ingredients of a super roaring romance and read but it kept pulling punches along the way. Mark and Diego are both deeply flawed, sometimes selfish and often stupid characters when their pasts are fully explored in the alternating POV chapters. That made their insta-lust romance just a bit eyebrow raising but then the premise of this series is that older Navy guys have a lot to make up for and can be forgiven for getting in too deep and too fast.

There is a lot of social and public policy exploration here which reveals how totally messed up the U.S. immigration issues are, and in many cases I stopped reading because I was getting too angry. I also was wondering when Diego was going to come clean with Mark about his status and how long it would take for Mark to find a solution for their problem.

The bedroom scenes were excellent, and in the end it kind of worked. I will get the next one as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars NAVY FAMILY GUYS
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018

I love this series. You can read them separately, but supporting characters in one become the main in another. It's kind of like reading those novels that deal with a family over the centuries, except a more focused time frame. The build up to the resolution of reasons not to be together is well done. Sex is always better in anticipation.

Mark is a new Captain in the Navy, something he never expected to be. Recently divorced, he is trying to fit into his new life. He had expected to retire and the promotion had changed his plans.

Diego, working for tips as a bartender, want nothing to do with the Navy. He was wounded in the line of duty and was tossed out of the Navy because he couldn't meet the qualifications to stay in. He lost his green card and is in the US illegally.

When he met Mark, Diego knew getting close him was a mistake, but their chemistry was just to hot to ignore. The more time they spent together, the hotter the relationship became.

There were a lot of issues that created conflict between the men, which I suppose was needed to move the story along, but also seemed to bog it down a bit. I've read all the Anchor Point stories and this is another nice addition to the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good!
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018
Once burned is the 6th book in the great Anchor Point series, here we meet Captain Mark Thomas newly divorced, promoted and posted to Anchor Point. Feeling lonely he goes to the high and tight gay bar hoping to meet someone for a hook up, when there he's immediately attracted to the barman Diego who we met in the previous book Going Overboard, Diego had many issues and although also attracted to Mark turns down Marks offer to get together, but at the end of the evening decides to break all his own rules and goes back to Marks house, together they are combustible and a relationship develops.
Diego has many reasons for hating the navy, from Mexico he joined up and was sent to Afghanistan where he was badly injured and left with PTSD, he was then told by the navy he was unfit to serve. In a stroke he lost all his health benefits and green card, he is now working as an illegal constantly worry if he'll be caught. The panic attacks he endures are heartbreaking, and unfortunately I could relate how he was being treated since leaving the Navy, being ex military myself I've seen how they just become forgotten and told 'to get on with it'
Therefore there is a lot of depth to this story, these are two wonderful characters and Mark is determined to make the relationship work and help Diego
A most enjoyable and satisfying story, roll on the next!
My thanks to net galley and publisher Riptide for the opportunity to review this Book honestly.

I received a copy to read and review for Wicked Reads

I have read all the previous books in this series but it is not necessary to read this book. I hate to say it but this book really missed the mark for me. I really, really do not like just pages and pages of inner monologue. I need dialogue between characters!! I also dislike it when the same thing is repeated over and over again, let's not beat a dead horse folks!!! Thia book had both and it made me lose interest fast. Don't get me wrong the chemistry and sex between Mark and Diego is hot but that wasn't enough for me to love the book. Mark and his poor excuse for cheating and then Diego's unrealistic issue with his green card were the final straws and made this book a not so good one for me

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't get enough of this series
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018
Coming off a divorce and a new position in the Navy, Mark has relocated and is looking for some M/M action. Diego is the bartender at the local gay bar that Mark sets his eyes on. The one problem is that Diego does not do Navy men since the Navy has Royale screwed up his life. But once the two come together, sparks fly and passion ignites. But will Diego be able to move on from his past? Or will the relationship be doomed for failure? With a beautifully written storyline that deals with the damage that PTSD and combat veterans go through this book might have been very hard to read at some points but so worth it in the end. Mark and Diego are my favorite couple from this series so far and I look forward to more in the series.
