Date: 01 7, 2014
Trent Davila is broken, after a combat mission in which he almost died something inside him changed. He pulled away from the one who loved him the most and kept re-deploying. When the army to which he’s given his all turns its back on him he’s forced to reevaluate everything and is now determined to try and get back what he’s lost and it won’t be easy for he is no longer normal outside of combat.Laura Davila loved her husband but his constant deployments and emotional distance when he was home shattered her heart and she seeks a divorce so she can move on with her life. She has never stopped loving him though and when he needs her help she finds she can’t say no and she begins to wonder if they can overcome the distances between them this time.This is a wonderful second chance romance about a husband and wife reconnecting, rebuilding their relationship after the ravages of war have estranged them. What the men sent to war go through is tragic; they are traumatized by what they’ve done and seen and the guilt that comes from being the ones who survive. When they come home transitioning to their former lives is more than just difficult. This reader has no personal experience with this topic but feels the author portrayed the issues in a compassionate and realistic fashion. We were given both points of view so we could really understand what each was going through; the emotions were heart rendering and palpable. This book is part of a series but worked well as a stand-alone if you haven’t read the prior books.ARC provided by the publisher.
