This was a great book. Admittedly, I'm a sucker for military guys and how could you pass up the cover? Beyond that, the story was both sweet and spicy. There were a couple of things about UNTIL THERE WAS YOU that made it stand out from some of the other military books I've read. One: both Evan and Claire are active. I find that a lot of times one or the other has either never been in the military or they have just gotten out. The second stand-out was that they figured out how to make their relationship work and continue doing what they loved. It can be frustrating when the sacrifice has to be that one of the two give up their job. I understand sacrifice, but it's always nice when Hero and heroine get to keep doing what they love and figure a way to work around the road blocks.Claire is a strong woman on the outside, but inside, she wants someone to be there for her. All she knows is that being loved means being let down. The way  Jessica Scott takes us on Claire's journey to learn that you can be loved and they won't leave you is frustrating and entertaining all at once. You will be happy with the ending, but there may be some points in the middle where you want to scream. At least I did.  :) I was especially impressed when Claire has to overcome a judgement she made about a fellow officer.Evan is strong, confident, and a jerk. Okay the last part is only sometimes, and really only as a defensive reaction. It takes Claire awhile to break down his walls, but the exchange between them while they go after each other is hilarious at times and super sweet at others. Evan's past is one that could easily bring him pity. Jessica Scott did a good job of making Evan accept his past and others accept his past rather than feel bad for him.Overall, this is definitely a recommend for me.  I didn't realize it was the second in the series, so I'm off to get the first and dive in.
