Reviewed By~Sarah L.Review Copy Provided By~NetGalleyHaving a niece currently deployed overseas, I was intrigued with reading a story involving characters in the military and those that have been deployed. Ms. Scott has used her experiences in the military to bring us the intense, emotional and even sometimes humorous story of Shane and Jen.After suffering a debilitating injury, Shane not only needs to heal physically but mentally as well. He tries to shoulder the responsibility of those under his command even after they are injured and brought back home as well. This causes much internal conflict for Shane but Jen is there to guide him through it. Jen has also suffered extensively in the past and even though she may be healed physically, she still suffers emotionally. This is a great story of two wounded individuals who help each other overcome adversity and heal both mentally and physically.I really enjoyed the interactions with the secondary characters. Carponti cracked me up. Even after suffering his terrible injury he was still the life of the party. There was also a lot of focus on the issues facing Trent and Laura and I look forward to reading the next installment to see how that plays out.Favorite Quote: "Seeing as how I've held your penis in my hand, I think that puts you firmly in the not a stranger category."
