I thought that this book was okay. Please heed the warning at the beginning of the book...If you can't stomach scenes of domestic violence then this is not for you. The beginning of the book starts with a pretty graphic scene of just that. Adele manages to get herself out of the abusive situation and moves to Virginia where she reinvents herself and meets a group of ultra buff military men who take her under their wings and nurture her back to a confident and strong woman with a backbone.  From the description of the men, or her "brothers" I questioned her FIVE year dry spell! That's a long time without some lovin; especially around all that hotness! I would have liked a little more development and background for the relationship between Adele and Stephano, however. It just seemed like there wasn't much to his character. Overall, I did like the book, but towards the end the story just seemed rushed, so I gave it 4 stars.
