I was unsure of the subject matter/premise, but I thoroughly enjoyed this debut novel. Michelle Mannon did a really great job of creating sympathetic not pathetic characters. I was emotionally engaged early on and invested in the outcome. PTSD plays a role in the story and is included with dignity and compassion. So, the characters are strong and resilient, the settings very detailed and well drawn, the pacing fast and the story well plotted. Add in good dialogue and great passionate sex scenes and this is the start of a long career for Ms. Mannon.*I received my copy from NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
