I have read all of the books in this series and this one really packs a punch. It shows the real and raw life that our military men and women deal with on a daily basis over a course of several year of deployment. Emily joined the Army in hopes of making a difference and found a strength I don't think she knew she had.Reza joined to get away from his civilian life as an abused child who lost his mother to an alcoholic father and wasn't old enough or big enough to save her. War was all he knew and all he thought he was good at, but losing so many men that he cared about was slowly killing him as he tried to find relief from his nightmares of losing "his boys" in battles both on and off the battlefield, in the bottle.:Losing yet another soldier and friend to death due to the incompetence of the men that were supposed to be there to protect them had led to his breaking point. Then Reza finally realized he had hit rock bottom and needed to go to rehab to get sober because he loved Emily enough to change and more importantly he wanted to be a good man for himself. It was a very dramatic book with romance entwined with so many emotional and physical scars that it just squeezed at my heart. Once I started to read the book I was pulled into their lives and their story and couldn't put it down. Another spectacular read Jessica Scott, you can be proud of your life and your gift for writing something so close to your heart that makes us understand better what military lives - in war - can be like. God Bless.
