Review: This was a hard book for me to finish and harder to review.

I read an ARC of this, it is hard for me to write this review because the book felt like an unfinished early draft. The problems I had with it may have been fixed in the one for publication.The good: It is part of a series, book 5 or 6 I think. I loved the setting.  I think each individual author has done a great job identifying Marrietta as the setting and keeping the feel of the town consistent. Story premise was good, couple dealing with major trauma and trying to see if they still fit when dealing with reality. I liked the Hero. He seemed like he could be a real person. His dealing with the military trauma was an interesting part of the story.The bad: This story is more of a novella. So by definition it is going to be shorter and lack some of the rich details that pull you in. I think for me, it caused me to not feel connected to the characters, especially Risa. I really did not like her. So many details were missing that the writing seemed choppy.Overall: If the writing were less choppy, and the errors taken care of, this would be a 4 star review.  I am really enjoying this series, and look forward to the other books. I would definitely recommend this series to any contemporary romance reader.
