 I'm going to keep this short. Axel was an interesting enough story to keep me reading. I liked Axel and Isabel for the most part, although their characters did get on my nerves. I definitely rooted for their second chance at love despite Isabel trying to evade Axel from dealing with their past and Axel flying off the handle throughout most of the book. The story was a bit predictable, but I never let that stop from enjoying a book. I really liked Maddox, Greg, Beck more than most of the characters in this book. 
 This book was still really funny and it took a lot of effort not to burst out laughing in public. Harper Sloan's writing is easy to get lost in. I just left feeling like I needed more from this book. I did still like it and enjoy reading and I will continue to read about the rest of the Corps Security men and Greg.
