Review: Military romance, suspense...and a cruel cliffhanger!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 25, 2014
Part 1 of Liz Borino's 2-part series.  Be warned, this ends in a cliffhanger of sorts - but the sequel comes out in just a few weeks (March 12, 2014), so readers won't have to wait too long for resolution.  Also DO NOT read the blurb and excerpt for part 2 (Angel's Truth) at the end of part 1 before finishing it, unless you want spoilers.  Which you shouldn't.  It's a short book, only about half the length of her recent offerings, so you can read it without peeking!Unlike some of Liz's other books, I would put this in the romantic suspense category.  A married male couple is separated by war and duty and lies: Jordan is presumed dead in hostile territory; Aaron is seeking the truth, even as this causes his friends and family to turn their backs on him.  As the current events take place, both men reflect on their past together and we see their romance/back-story unfold in stark contrast to the separation and despair of the present.The story contains love and romance, but also some gritty suspense, torture in captivity, betrayal, at least one character you may hate, and the faith two men have in each other against all odds.  Jordan and Aaron are both strong characters, different from both each other and Liz's previous leads.  In Adeela, an Afghan military nurse, Liz has created one of her strongest and most sympathetic female characters to date.I really can't say much more without wandering into spoiler territory.  (Note for readers of Liz's Mine & Director's Cut series, this book contains less sex and no BDSM elements.)** Complimentary copy read in return for honest review **
