This book made me lose my will to read.I thought the story sounded really interesting. I was lied to."Hero is back from Afghanistan and ready to reacquaint himself with his wife of 3 years. They have loved each other for a decade but have never really lived together. Now they must learn how to live as ordinary couple, as ordinary as an old fashioned traditional relationship can be."That's what I was promised. Having known soldiers who came home and faced this exact problem, I expected this to be an interesting read. A couple getting to know one another again after being separated for so long has potential for some interesting conflict. Add the extra element of a DD marriage and I thought "hey this could be really good!"Unfortunately very little of that is explored (at least in the 48% that I read)"Regan, for her part, has been an independent woman with her husband oversees. Now she must hand the reigns back to her dominant head of household. And what about her secret? Can she trust him or could it ruin what they were trying to rebuild. Can she ask him to make that sacrifice?"Um, at no time did I get the impression Regan was an independent woman. In fact I had a LOT of trouble believing Regan was over the age of thirteen. She acted so childish. The conflict arises from the fact that she can't have an adult conversation with her husband and that got boring fast.Besides the bad story, the editing is non-existent. There is so much head-hopping going on I got whiplash. I've read other books from this publisher that were pretty good, so I'm not sure what happened to You Said Forever.
