Some of the men start off alone and get pulled into the heptad, a strong group of men that trained and fought together. We watch them toil, and sweat, and work through major issues, deep ones, military in nature, emotional, and sexual. From that foundation novel, Jacen established a universe, tone, and overall series framework that pulled her readers into the world of military families and soldiers, the units that become to tight that they form a brotherhood unlike any other, one that also then encompasses their families as well, and then extends out to future generations coming up the ranks. I have loved Kris Jacen’s With Me series from the very first story Wait for Me. What can happen when you grow up a military brat with the ties that they have with their fathers’ close friends and their families? Find the love of your life almost from the start? Or find out that maybe you’re all too close for anything else? But can he be himself - out and proud -serve and protect his country and end up with the one he’s loved for as long as he can remember?

Tris has grown up wanting to follow in the footsteps of those before him. Maddy wants to save the planet and capture the heart of Calvin Luna… if he’d only open his eyes.

Tristan Nolan and Maddy Holt both grew up as military kids too, but neither of their fathers moved them around as much as the twins. Cam is a fantastic baseball player and Cal loves the science of everything. Proud of their father and uncles and all they’ve done, neither of them is sure the military is for them. Their father has been in the military since before they were born. Calvin and Camden Luna - why yes, their dad is a big baseball fan- have moved around the world with their parents.
