Review: Total believability
Rating: 5 out of 5

BECAUSE OF YOU by first-time author Jessica Scott is the story of wounded soldiers trying to recover from the war in Iraq. Squarely in the romance genre, she uses the loneliness and pain of the wives left behind at home as a jumping off point for a hot romance between two damaged people who think they are no longer worth loving.The author Jessica Scott is a career soldier who served in Iraq. She brings total believability to every scene that has anything to do with being a soldier.Ultimately though, this is a romance novel, so sexual longing bleeds from the pages and eventually leads to long and hotly explicit passages. And as a bonus, sometimes the secondary characters become so compelling you'd like more about them, which makes sense as this is the first of three related books.Recommended.
