I loved this book!! There was the right balance of mystery and romance in it for me. I think I've also gained a new appreciation for military wives/husbands - God alone knows what they go through!The book opens with Sienna at her husband's (Rob, a Marine) funeral. He was killed while driving under the influence. She's struggling with the feelings she used to have for him and the feelings that Nick, his best friend, evoke in her. Nick was Rob's best friend, but has always cared for Sienna. During Rob's last deployment, he became her close friend as well. He hopes that Sienna trusts him enough to be everything she needs, including a husband. Sienna has decided that being a military wife is something she's fed up with, so she blocks Nick at every turn.The story is told from the two main characters' points of view. I fell in love with Nick almost immediately! And I kept rooting for Sienna to find herself again and see what was right in front of her. I like that Sienna didn't hero-worship Nick like in many military romances. And I like that Nick pushed hard enough so she realised what she could and wouldn't have with him.This book is definitely a keeper! I read this book in a few hours - it was that good! I only stopped to eat. I definitely recommend it.N.B. This is the first book by Mrs. Holt that I've read. I'll definitely be checking others!
