Interpreter: A Tortured Hero, Office Romance Stand-Alone

Overwhelmed.That only word pretty much describes how I’m feeling right now. And the past hours after finished my reading.The first time I read a silent character named Tim in Commander my love was instantaneous. No description was necessary. Like fate, I fell in love with him.Through the next books, my love became bigger and stronger.But the day I heard that he would have his own book I knew that my reading life would be complete.I know I sound a little ridiculous and that I have others fictional lovers but this man was ONE OF A KIND.I told Kristy that this reading was like End Game to me. Just from the very first page, I just knew that I wanna love it and it would be a lot of crying and swooning and love and all the feelings. And it was.While writing this it’s inevitable to remember a few things and my eyes watered. All those fights. All those lows and highs. Every character. Every single detail. Everything was perfect. From top to bottom.But that final almost broke my heart. So much happiness couldn’t be retained. And I felt a little betrayed because I wanted more. Couldn’t stand that it was over.Now, I just gonna say a few things about some characters or my review just would be a bubbling thing lolMilah is like her mami and abuelita said. Like a miracle, with her heels and sassyness was able to bring that sparkle to my beloved Tim. Her friends Pe and Marcus just added the right amount of fun.Oliver, my little boy. With your little hands and eyes full of hope not only brought Tim to his knees but me too. The foster system always has me. Those children need so much love and be able to give it to them even just a little it’s important to them. Be a family even more.Dr. Parker. You really are a pain in our side. But we love you all the same. Never change.The troupe, Theo and Anniston. Always supportive. Always caring. Always loving. You all are the best.And little Aspen. That spoiled princess. How could you not love her? She is the shining sun.No more words. Or I will not end this.Perfection. Just that. Perfection.

I finally got myself to finish this even though I didn't want to see it end. Time with the family at the foundation is amazing and it always makes my chest warm a little when I see these goofballs mess around with each other while showing undeniable support and love. It's what makes this whole series for me, but reading about Tim's story and his meeting MIlah, who also has her own story, was just as nice.Tim totally surprised me in Gorgeous so I was extremely excited to get into his head. While this book may not be the most tragic, it does deal with a real issue of being okay with what the world sees as handicaps and learning to see yourself as someone stronger for it. The writing was easy to get into and it felt more playful and easy-going, though the setting of an elementary school may have something to do with it. Tim and Milah's story is VERY sweet and homey as it deals with music, relearning to feel again, and children. Adorable children you just wanna put in your pocket and keep safe forever and forever.I thought a few things were more explained to us than having us go through it but I think it worked better for the pace's sake, which was pretty fast until Tim got into his head, then time slowed down. I adored Milah's support and how fast their families clicked. It was obviously important to Milah that her loved ones be accepted. And speaking of acceptance... while each hero gets his own individual story, I do feel like you should be reading these books in order. Not everything gets retold, and so what we don't see here, like Tim's silence and his struggle to realign himself with people, is something that strengthens his story, but you would only know that if you read the first book, or any of the others as all the guys slowly open up with every installment. Small stuff like that tugged at the back of my mind when I was wasn't getting melted by Tim and Milah. And the jealously/rival was sort of subtle so as not to overwhelm too much of everything else already happening, but seeing as it also played a pretty big role in the climax, the whole thing then kind of felt like it wasn't as... intense? Like it was so unimportant that when Tim reacted to certain results, it seemed off because it was like watching a dog bark at a flea. You don't really understand what's going on until things get laid out and then you're like, "Ohhhh.... huh."I loved the characters. I loved the humor. Milah is honestly more like me than I care to admit because she can be so easy to harass but at the same time, I love her stubbornness and her inability to control herself when it comes to driving Tim crazy. I appreciated that this story wasn't as emotionally-straining as Cade's, cause I'm not sure if I'm ready for anything like that again. This was a pretty heady Hallmark movie of the bunch and i am here for it. And i am so ready for my other guys.

Honestly, the best thing that I've done is pick up these books by Kristy Marie. They are all intricate, thought provoking and emotional, this one for sure is one of my favourites and I thought Gorgeous was my favourite! Tim caught my heart with his vulnerability and trying to navigate his world after his life changing overnight. I loved the progression, the fire and the ending, oh my!

Read this book ! It's so good. Milah and Tim are perfect for each other, even though they're kinda enemies at first. Tim is a grumpy hot man and Milah is sassy and stubborn-perfect combination. I really enjoyed seeing their journey and the relationship development. There's romance, fun and a bit of angst.

Absolutely loved this!! Such a great story and told perfectly. No cut corners. I dare you not to fall in love with Tim by the end.

Despite the heavy subject matter, I usually cry tear of laughter when reading Kristy Marie books but this was a more emotional read.Tim has been losing his hearing for years but at the start of the story, he has become completely deaf. There is treatment for this but he refuses it. To prove he is moving on with his life, Tim promises his therapist he will get a job. Anniston sets him up with a position as a teacher’s assistant at the local primary school.The teacher he is assigned to assist is Ms MIlah Iglesias. Milah is fluent in sign language and this makes her the perfect teacher for Tim to help. Unfortunately Tim’s arrival doesn’t come at the best time for Milah who has just found out her position at the school is being terminated and she will have to return to Costa Rica. She’s a bit off her game and not particularly happy about having Tim in her classroom.As well as her regular duties, Milah is also teaching a six year old student how to sign. Oliver is a foster child who is going deaf. Milah, Oliver and the school’s music teacher, Mrs Peak, are the perfect combination to help Tim ACTUALLY move on instead of just saying he will/ is. That is if he can move on from the trauma of his past.The comic relief in this book comes once more from Theo as well as Milah’s best friend Filipe who owns and performs in a drag bar. A highlight for lovers of the Commander on Brief’s series is Tim’s connection to with baby Aspen. They are SO adorable.Interpreter can be read as a standalone but for the full experience I strongly recommend you read the entire Commander in Briefs series. There are also standalone second generation books that will add to your love for this amazing family of ex-Marines and the people who love and care for them.

Loved Tim, loved this story. Milah was beautiful, Oliver sooo cute, Aspen adorable. All the usual characters and the new are amazing and enjoyable. Love how the women in this series stay true to themselves but still can fall in love. This really is an honest, true and beautifully written story.Only things that are not my thing is the open display of sex and when a secret is kept with the person you are falling in love with and when it is revealed they get upset. Grrrr.But would recommend. Cant wait for the rest, with a look at all the kids that are being born.
