Rating: 3 out of 5

Megan is a US soldier held hostage in an Iraqi bunker.  When Megan is captured she is injured and Dr. Reed treats her injuries.  Megan quickly realizes that Reed is different from her other capturers and she begins to trust him.  She gives him the nickname "angel-man" as he protects her from harm and takes care of her during her imprisonment.  But as the story unfolds, Reed does the unthinkable and destroys their relationship.Pros: This was definitely a page turner. So many twist and turns.  I don't think there was one dull moment in the entire story.  I really felt for Megan and Reed.  At one point I wonder how much pain a couple could endure.Cons: Errors. I really don't mind errors. If I'm reading and my brain is able to do an auto correct and maintain a smooth flow of reading, good.  However, when I pause and say "WTF" and have to re-read a sentence or paragraph to figure out a word, or figure out the speaker or figure out when the dialogue ends and the narration begin, not good.***********SPOILER***************This part of the review was hard to write because I am torn about how I feel about this part of the story.  The hero rapes the heroine and she becomes pregnant.  The author does try to redeem the hero by explaining the hero's mind set at the time of the rape. However I'm an American woman who is a staunch believer that no means no. The act is simply unredeemable no matter what.  On the other hand, I had to remind myself that the story does not take place in America but takes place in Iraq where women are viewed differently and have fewer rights.************ SPOLIER OVER************Although it could have been a 5-star, I am giving this story 3 stars because of all the errors.Would I recommend this story to a friend? Although I love the story, I would have to caution them that this story contains a rape scene.
