A beautiful country songwriter, a handsome Marine struggling to overcome PTSD, and a lovable service dog... the main characters in this hopeful, beautifully written, and warmly romantic story.I'm a HUGE fan of this series and of this book. Long captures brilliantly the issues facing soldiers and families of soldiers, all while immersing the reader in an emotional and well crafted romance. In a short span of time, she creates characters that you relate to, feel for, and wish a bright future. Both main characters show such great strength, Matt as he works to overcome his demons, and Naomi as the always supportive member of a family of Marines. I enjoyed their relationship immensely, their chemistry, courtship, and eventual happy ending.This book tells a story that needs to be told: a struggle that many military veterans face and their loved ones face with them. I cried and smiled and hoped my way through this heartwarming, romantic journey that starts with a man in his darkest hour, as he manages to find his way out, towards love and a brighter future." `I hear a good brother who cares about his family, a good son who respects his mother, a tough Marine who honors his unit, and a strong man facing his own demons. You're exactly the kind of guy I want to see.`But I can't take you out and do all the things you deserve- real dates, real romance-'`I don't need those trappings, Matt. I just need you.' She wasn't sure which one of them moved, but she went from sitting next to him to sitting in his lap, and his mouth closed over hers."*I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review.See this review and more at TattooedBookReview dot com
