Review: Not "picture-perfect" yet...
Rating: 4 out of 5

In Nikki Lynn Barrett's novel, we meet Becca and Hunter, who survived a plane crash as children.  At the time, Hunter was twelve, Becca eight and seriously hurt.  The burden thrust upon Hunter to keep Becca and him alive until they're rescued, and the fact that he has no other family, impacts him severely.  The tragic accident bonds Hunter and Becca for life.Although Becca suffered traumatic brain injury, Hunter's affliction is mental not physical.  Flash forward twenty years: He begins exhibiting symptoms of PTSD.  He senses that he overlooked something important; something he lost awareness of.  While Becca and Hunter fall in love, she tries to stand by him, despite his nightmares and irrational behavior.  Soon, the two of them realize they have a mutual enemy that is hell-bent on destroying both of them.Some of the mystery is solved at the end of this first novel--but the how and why remain unanswered.  I was sympathetic to the hero and heroine, to all they endured; and I want so much for them to get the "picture-perfect ending" they deserve.  Guess I'll have to wait for the next two books in the series.  Great storytelling, Ms. Barrett!
