I really liked this one.  It was romantic, yet quite a bit suspenseful.  Both of the main characters were stubborn and wary, but had enough redeeming characteristics to still be likable.Alec is a soldier returning home to his wife Charley after three years at war.  They were forced into marriage, yet they are each in love with the other (except neither one of them has told the other).  They are both distrustful, and left wondering if the other has been unfaithful.  I enjoyed them finding the path back to each other, though there were obstacles along the way, they didn't make me constantly roll my eyes.I enjoyed the mystery aspect of the book a lot.  It all came together in the end and the epilogue was very sweet.I am still left with some unanswered questions though:  1)  Was there some sort of foul play involved in the death of Alec's brothers?  Their deaths seemed suspicious to me.  2)  Jack's parentage and the death/disappearance of Bernadette never really got fully explained.  I would have liked to see more resolution there.
