Review: Way to heavy of a read for being entertainment for me

Reviewed at Another Look Book ReviewsWell hell, that was a depressing read. It was a well written book but I just feel really depressed and that is not how I like to close out a romance read. I imagine that Because of You is really close to what military families and officers experience; and that just depresses me further.The entire story was how Shane and his fellow military buddies recover from the aftermath of war. It was depressing and sad. Even the heroine, Jen is recovering from her own personal battle from cancer.Because of You is heavy and emotional and when the protagonists gain just a little of happiness, I found I was over celebrating because there just aren't that many triumphs.  To be honest, I almost stopped reading numerous times but I was determine to get to the end so I could selfishly have a happily ever after with this couple. I got there and wondered what the entire book was leading up to? Depressing page after depressing page and then the happily ever finally arrived on the_last_page followed by a quick epilogue.The writing was excellent and Because of You did pull a lot of emotion from me but I don't think I will be moving on to any more books in the series. I would recommend Because of You to anyone who loves a military story that is very realistic and deals with the aftermath of war. For me, I like my fantasy world. This one hit too close to home and was very real. It left a lump in my throat and it was too heavy as a romance.
