At Your Service (Topped #4)

Lexi Blake has brought back the characters of her Masters and Mercenaries Topped series for their fourth book! And if you all werent aware, the McKay/Taggart gang is going to soon be infiltrated by a bunch of new characters when a multi-author crossover series with the McKay/Taggart bunch happens next spring. So Lexi has gotten the party started here in At Your Service.
Our hero is Javier, a dom who likes his women, but wants to settle down, especially with his new neighbor, veteran Jules ONeil. Jules works with Javi, but even after one night with him, shes not so sure. Hes got his reputation, a brother who cant deal with his own problems and is causing more of them, and shes still having self esteem problems from losing her hand. Its up to Javi to prove to Jules that hes changed his ways. He also has to deal with his brother, who is in more trouble than he realizes. Of course, we get cameos from some of the totally amazing McKay/Taggart crew, especially Kai.
Lexi writes another hit book that has probably the best BDSM club EVER, but she also tackles issues that veterans deal with with amazing grace and sensitivity.

AT YOUR SERVICE: Topped Book 4
Lexi Blake
Javi has seen Jules in the hall and is aware she lost her hand in the Navy. A citywide power outage during a thunderstorm finds him at her door to offer help. Bingo! Quality time! But when he goes home the next morning, his apartment has been trashed. WTF? Off again, on again, this won’t be easy, particularly with his double amputee brother dumped on him. Javi gets a special cutting board so she can learn how to chop vegetables with one hand. See what happens to an entire bag of onions in the chef’s kitchen….and after..

Javier has always been a player, broom closet hook ups and one night stands with no staying over has been his M.O. That is until Jules comes to work at Topped she catches his heart and he will do anything to convince her that is reputation is not who he is for real. Jules broke away from her controlling mother and joined the service doing good in the world was her goal. She is discharged due to an incident that causes her to lose her arm. She never regrets the lives she was able to save sacrificing her arm for the greater good was the only option. She plays a good game making people think she is ok with her disability but in reality she is holding herself back from her true ambition to be a chef. Javier begins to show her a whole new world where her disability doesnt matter and she can find new dreams with a man to love. Awesome story as always. Lexi and her characters will always have a place in my heart.

Javier and Jules were good together. This was a good story. Not an exciting or unpredictable book but a decent story. I must say though, Im getting kind of bored with these books because they are all starting to be the same. They secretly like each other, have a quick tryst in the sheets, fight each other off for chapter after chapter and then tada, happily ever after. How many times can we read this same thing with just different names? Personally I think Im about done with them.

Lexi Blake, I love your books but I think these characters have run their course.

Lexi Blake does a beautiful job of honoring our veterans in every way. This series is so very inspirational. I am especially honored that she chose to honor a female vet who gave a little more than “some” in this book. Jules journey to living again was as courageous as the act that cost her so much. A true American hero. I do not want to forget Javi’s brother Rafe. His journey, like so many of our vets, has taken a dark turn. But he has a loving family and an amazing support system. I hope he chooses to take advantage of it and that the author will include us in his continuing story. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our veterans could have that love and support?
