Review: Touching and sexy debut of a new series

As usual, I love that the author sticks to writing confident, sassy heroines. Kayla was a wonderful heroine who didn't let her affluent family dictate what she should do with her life or how she should live it. She knew what she wanted, and when she wanted Ryan, she wasn't afraid to show it. I fell in love with Ryan. Not just because I generally have a huge soft spot for military heroes, but because it's not often that I find a book with a military hero who has a physical flaw as well as an emotional one. Having lost his leg in Afghanistan and subsequently feeling "inadequate" around the opposite sex, I felt elated for him when he found a woman who couldn't have cared less about the scars or the prosthetic leg. She made him feel whole and "like a man". The author also never fails in writing some scorching hot sex scenes. This time it felt more than just sex though. With the tensions of the emotional rawness from earlier, it felt special.I loved this first in the new series and can't wait to read more. I hope Cal will be next. If I had any complaints at all, I'd say the novella was too short or ended too abruptly on a high note. I would have loved an epilogue of sorts for proper closure that their connection managed to stand the test of time. Then again, perhaps this couple will have recurring appearances in later books, thus giving me what I crave.Disclaimer: I received a review copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
