Jessica Scott's Coming Home series is a bit of a learning experience for me. I have learned something new about the military and the people that serve in the military with both books. I like this. There is an incredible amount of detail in these books when it comes to the inner workings of the military.Claire has had a rough life. She doesn't trust. Her past experiences have taught her that everyone will eventually let her down. So gives everything that she has to her career in the military. She is fiercely loyal to all of her fellow soldiers and she does what has to be done to get the job done.Evan has also put his entire being into his military career. He just has an entirely different reason than Claire. Evan harbors some guilt over something that happened in his past. This event has turned him into the follow rules, every single one of them down to the very last detail Captain America that he is.Claire and Evan are so opposite yet they are so similar. Their current assignment leaves them both wanting to do the same thing, to get the soldiers ready for deployment but their differences in how they get the job done has them butting heads every step of the way. This just amps up the sexual tension between Claire and Evan, I loved it.I also loved the love scenes. I'm not going to refer to them as sex scenes. Evan as a lover to Claire is incredibly sensual. This man is so passionate and caring. He wants to break down all the walls Claire has built around herself. He does the most loving and caring things the entire time he is trying to work his way into her heart. Evan is swoon worthy!One of the secondary characters is an alcoholic. I guess everyone handles friends, family, and loved ones in that situation differently. I tend to stay away from books where the subject of addiction is broached. It is a subject that I am very opinionated about. I had some issues with the way Claire handled it. She came off as an enabler to me, not a friend. I also wish I would have had a high school English teacher like Claire's.
