Assignment: Learning to Love by Honor James is second in the Hawt Men In and Out of Uniform series. This story can be read as a standalone. I really, really loved Michael. He was Alpha but didn’t overwhelm Gigi or the reader with testosterone. He was subtle and smart. Gigi didn’t believe in love. She didn’t really believe in men either. She trusted no one but her father until Michael got past her defenses. He seemed to get Gigi which I adored. He understood her fears but did not let that stop him from fighting to make a place in her life and her heart. I loved how Ms. James made Gigi a strong female character that was vulnerable. She didn’t believe in romance until Michael. And I adored that she had to have her love pointed out to her, by Michael. This story was sweet even as Ms. James brought the heat. We got to see Gigi, much more clearly than she saw herself and I liked her. She was smart, sassy and independent. She was loyal and headstrong. I loved her interaction with Michael and his brother in arms. It showed us a well-rounded character and made us want to see more of each man. I thoroughly enjoyed their emotional journey but Ms. James did not stop there. She gave us an action packed story with highs and lows. All while allowing Michael and Gigi time to learn each other. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.
First, let me say I loved this book. Michael is a sweet but sexy and protective man that is determined to show Gigi how true love is not only possible but happening between them. He passes all of her tests (even those she’s not aware of giving) and keeps her safe in the process. One of the things I really liked about the book is that even though Michael appears to develop serious feelings for Gigi fairly quickly, that is not completely unrealistic in situations with military men.
