When Carter is killed in combat, Avery and his shattered best friend Remy, gravitate together,.This was a really wonderful book about love, friendship, unbearable loss and finding new love. Carter, Avery and Remy had been friends for 10 years and they all served in the Army together. So naturally they had an extremely close bond.Carter and Avery fell in love and finally got married. Two days after the wedding Carter and Remy are deployed as they are both in the Special Forces. Avery was retired from the military due to an injury.They were to only be gone six months and then Carter was coming home to his new wife, whom he missed with every fiber of his being. Unfortunately fate had different plans. Remy had to come home alone and he wanted to be the one to pass along the heartbreaking news to Avery, Carter’s wife and the girl he had been in love with himself for 10 years.Naturally their bond grew stronger due to their shared grief. Then Remy was deployed again and Avery was left torn between her intense grief over losing Carter and her growing feelings for Remy. Then Remy is injured in the line of duty and in truly opens Avery’s eyes to the fact that she can’t live without him.I had my moments where I thought their relationship was moving too fast but then I would think about the fact that they had known each other for so many years and had been through so many things together. Plus, you can’t decide who you fall in love with or how fast that happens.I had a few moments when reading this book that I had to stop and try and gather my emotions because you could just feel the pain from everyone involved. This was a great book and I would recommend this to many people.
