I have to start by saying that if you haven't read the novella that came before this full length book, do so before you read Tempted by the Soldier. It will make you enjoy this even more. That said, this book is fantastic. It has everything you want on a romance novel. Wonderful characters, a road trip, snarkiness, hot sex, a wedding, an emotional visit home, more hot sex and a chance to catch up with familiar faces.I love these two main characters Nate and Lily had me cracking up from the start and at times had me sniffling. The snarky banter between them is hilarious, " Could you get your feet off the dash? I just waxed it." " What a coincidence  I just waxed too"The chemistry is off the charts. They say it's a fine line between love and hate and these two prove it. Despite the verbal sparing, they burn up the sheets. " You've teased me for too long Princess, I'm not going to be satisfied until I hear you beg" " I told you, I'm not begging" Grab a cold glass of water, it gets hot.When Nate is conned into picking up his soon too be sister-in-law's best friend and wedding photographer on the way to his brothers wedding he does so even though he knows it's going to be a long ride. They had a scorching one night sand a year ago and it didn't end well.For Lily, this is going to be torture. She is going to be stuck in a cab with Nate. The man who rocked her world then left her cab fare and ran out like his feet were on fire.  But she needs to get to the wedding and she's snowed in.Things get off to a rocky start when Nate is late picking Lily up and the bickering starts immediately. But when Lily plays a joke on Nate at a rest stop, she pushes him over the edge. He retaliates with a kiss. This quickly escalates into more as both of them haven't forgotten that night a year ago.They both carry luggage from the past. Nate is trying to heal from a disastrous military tour and Lily has scars from her childhood. But can they see past this to the future ? Not only is Nate fighting demons from his tour, but he is also keeping a big secret. What happens when the secret comes out and they find themselves falling for the other and being part of the wedding ? Can they overcome these obstacles to be together ?I loved this book and am hoping for another in the series. There are secondary characters screaming for a story, think Lily's best friend Paige.  If you are after a book that leave you feeling content after finishing it, then this is it. Even when I was fighting back the tears I still enjoyed it. Plus the scene with the toilet scene and toilet really set me off. You will understand when you read it.This is an author to add to your auto buy list now, she is going places and you will want to follow.This book was supplied by the publisher for an honest review.
