Rating: 4 out of 5

This book deserves 5 Stars but there are some missing crucial points. Had some of them been explored the book could have panned a little longer giving it more depth.Wonderful story about young love and vindictiveness. How many foolish women have trapped a good man with a baby? Had Gabe disclosed Lissa's evil plot to take Cam away if he didn't marry her........Well sometimes men are just stupid! The courts would've granted custody rights. Needless to say her plan backfired & she waisted years of her life resentful of a man who was not ever in love with her. Ouch!I feel that Cass was aware of Maya & Gabe's love but the writer didn't give him closure. This was an opportunity to confirm that Gabe or her love for him, had ruined her for any other man. There was also the tremendous burden of discussing their past relationship with both set of parents, the apologies both eluded to and the idea that somehow Anna Ben knew about their love affair. These are the makings of a great read. These are important details to be included. Dang, I was so looking forward to getting the backstory. Especially a mom so entuned with her only son that she knew he was sharing some secret intimacies with the love of his life. ( Maybe a revised version will be released.) I think that the editor should have gone through a full read a pointed out the gaps. Screw deadlines, better stories sell more copies.Ms Riley is becoming one of my faves writer. I looking forward to more. Casualties of Love was my 1st for her, it wasn't a bad read. I was happy about its ending. Hey, is this all the ending I get in this book, he's off in the field, Cam has a girlfriend? What about a reflection on the wedding? Is Gabe happy? Can he not wait to get home to her? Again, details
