Dr. Cain Turner's is in Afghanistan, suffering through all sorts of mental and physical anguish and in the midst of that, he loses all hope of ever being a normal man again.  He thinks that he has nothing to offer his love, Faith, so he breaks it off with her...in a letter.  Faith receives that letter and is understandably devastated.  How can these two find their love and learn to trust again?The GoodThe chemistry is strong between Cain and Faith, and the love scenes are excellent.  Their issues are believable something that happens every day and made me connect to them.  Cain and Faith’s trust issues and the reasons for their breakup are explored thoroughly in a way drew me in and even when I was frustrated at their inability to see past their own pain, I wanted them to figure it out and get together.  There’s the beginnings of a mystery involving Faith’s baby sister, Honor, which I can see building until her book inevitably comes out.  This is a major event that is traumatic and a possible trigger for some folks, even if it’s only alluded to for the most part.  The writing’s solid and the pacing worked for me.The Just OkNow this is strange coming from me, but I did think there was alot of sex for the length of the story.  Very sexy so I didn’t mind, but I also wouldn’t have minded seeing that time devoted to exploring Cain’s PTSD issues in a more meaningful way.  I felt that Faith took that letter at face value and I would have liked to have seen her make some attempt to fight for this love, instead of just giving up.The Bottom LineA solid start to a new series and a (new to me) author made this a great pickup.  It’s an angsty, sexy, genuine story that made me eager to read the next book.
