,,Off Base" is a first book in Out of Uniform series by Annabeth Albert. 
 Zack Nelson is a navy SEAL. He has some hard time living on base, so he trades it for a fixer-upper rental. Apparently he also has a soft spot for animals, because when his almost-friend needs a place to live where he can keep his cats, Zack offers him a room. 
 Pike Reynolds is an out-and-proud, always flirting Professor. He enjoys teasing Zack, but also is insanely attracted to him. 
 While living together they discover there's something more than friendship between them, but is Zack the man Pike deserves? 
 Wow! What a ride. 
 Annabeth Albert is one of my favorite authors - I love her writing style, believable plots in her books and sexy and sweet characters. And I got it all in ,,Off Base"! 
 I loved this book. It was packed with emotions and had a just right amount of angst. 
 I adored both MC. Zack was sweet, if a little lost and confused (ok, a lot!) and Pike was fun and lovely. 
 My heart broke a few times, but ending definitely put a smile on my face. 
 Highly recommended!
