Review: Realistic characters and plot keep the pages turning

I was in the mood for a very realistic romance.  I have read too many angst/drama filled NA books lately-I love them but a lot of the drama is there just to create the necessary romantic tension.  This story is about two thirty something adults who have very real issues.  The H is extremely traumatized by an abusive childhood and several military tours.  The h is recovering physically and emotionally from a unilateral mastectomy.  I was completely able to connect with these characters. They are attracted from day 1 to each other and the romance moves along very quickly.  Not one of those where they don't get together until 70% of the book.  They are "together" however there is no immediate HEA.  They really have to work through their issues to find a way to be together.  I really liked this author's writing style-very straightforward.  Completely believable drama and angst.  Lots of steamy sex scenes.  I hope the author follows up with a sequel because even though there was no cliffhanger, there was one huge issue that was not resolved at all.  And a secondary couple who might end up as another book.  Highly recommended.
