Kristen Ashley never fails to disappoint.  I love everything she ever puts out and this was no different.  Having friends who have been in the military and seen things most of us could never fathom, she puts reality in Sam.  The demons never go away.  I love that he adores Kia even if he can't be everything she needs him to be - he gives her all he has to give.  Both Sam and Kia are strong characters (for different reasons) and their development throughout the book is clear and well done.  They don't make huge strides over night, their problems aren't fixed in two weeks, it's a process, one that I think Ashley did a beautiful job with.  My favorite thing about Ashley's books is that her heroines always find strength within themselves, this story is no different.  My second favorite is the voice of her heroes - I love the dialect, the verbiage, their tone - they're often clipped, straight forward, overly protective, and use strong language at the perfect times.  It really is an art to create a voice that a reader can hear in their head and Ashley has that down to a science.  I give this one a huge thumbs up!
