Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines irreparable as "too bad to be corrected or repaired." Upon reading the opening scenes of this book, we understand why the main character feels this way. He survives a horrific accident that takes the lives of 4 of his friends and fellow soldiers. He suffers even more when he comes home to his girlfriend Mary Beth. This guy can't buy a break. Enter Samantha, Jameson's physical therapist. They grew up together but something had changed in her since he last saw her. She is very closed off and doesn't share anything about that time. Jameson can't help but be intrigued by her because of the way she makes him feel.This is Amanda's first book and for a first book it is a remarkable job. The plot line, the characters, and the drama are written amazingly well. The angst, the romance, and the tension are all believable. The connection and the attraction between Jameson and Sam is strong but they don't rush into a relationship. They actually take their time to work up to it because of how bad off they both are. This makes me extremely happy. I can't stand when the "love" happens fast between 2 characters. It's not believable. What Amanda has written about Jameson and Sam feels real and even though it's not all fun and games, it's one hell of a ride.
