Review: Too much anguish.  (Contains Mild Spoilers)
Rating: 2 out of 5

The premise of the story was interesting, and the prologue was quite promising.  A typical romance where both the heroine and hero have to overcome their traumatic past in order to learn to love again.  Fine.We see the two interacting over and over in the first few chapters, but never really spend any time together until the drive home from lunch in Chapter 7, after the five hour "lunch" was completely glossed over.  This is followed by many chapters of the two coming together, pushing apart, (repeat over and over and over).  The coming together nearly all physical, the pushing apart rather mean-spirited lashing out, to be honest.  I'm not sure that any man would say she was a "challenge" instead of just calling her a "b**ch".  And he wasn't without fault, either.In other words, I just didn't see how anything was coming together for these two, and then suddenly, abrupt HEA ending at 92%!  What just...why...how did this happen?!?!?!The secondary story of Kate's tenuous job at the hospital was also interesting, but concluded weakly.  I would have liked this part of the story built up more to round out Kate's character.That's my overall impression of the story.Also, there were quite a few typos - enough to be distracting, but not annoying.  The nice, but slightly cheesy, professional-looking cover had me thinking this was a published book, but the typos were indicative of self-publishing or a very, very bad proofreader.Despite one of the one-star reviews, the sex in the book was quite mild.  In fact, the use of euphemisms made for very confusing reading and honestly, I couldn't follow the action at all.  I just didn't get it.And of course, my review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the military issue...I do not believe there are any commissioned Marine officers, especially Naval Aviators (USMC pilots are Naval Aviators), that did not attend at least two years of college.  At least in recent times - and this book mentions cell phones so we're talking at least in the 90's or 2000's.  I believe even LDO's and Warrant Officers (not pilots) have to get degrees these days.  This is not an important issue because it does not affect the timeline or anything at all, but just annoys me.I would not recommend this book.
