Soldier Rafael Carpenter was a dedicated warrior until an unexpected attack in Afghanistan took his hand and leg. Now he's a broken soldier and not sure of his future. Emily is a widow who isn't ready to re-enter the dating scene. When a meddlesome couple bring Rafa and Emily together for a blind date, Rafa is insecure about his missing limbs and Emily's profession, while Emily is insecure about her abundant curves and testing the dating waters. They hide their instant attraction, but lucky for them, their friends won't let them be. A little Dutch courage on their second date leads to a night of healing passion and new hope for the future.This is a moving and story that was a quick and enjoyable read. Some may say it ends without a resolution, but you could easily explore your own what if's for this couple, so I was okay with the ending. There were a few missing words, but not enough to distract from this mesmerizing tale, and I look forward to seeing more from this new author.
