She has done it again! Jessica Scott has gripped me by the shirt collar and pulled me into her latest release in the Coming Home series. I could not put this book down. It only took me a day to read and the only thing definitively wrong with the book was that there weren't enough pages! I always want more! This latest installment in the Coming Home series does not pick up where Book 1 left off, it's about different characters so there is no need to read "Because of You" to catch up for this October 8th release (though I still highly recommend reading Book 1 as soon as you get the chance!)Claire Montoya, Evan Loehr and the rest of her characters are all complex and believably written. Their lives are filled with real world drama and I felt like I could easily be in any of their shoes at any given time. Granted I'm not a career Army officer who would be running training ops in the dead of winter in Colorado Springs, but the underlying issues in each of their tumultuous lives is something that almost anyone can relate to on some level. Each character's sadness made my heart sting as she unveils the proverbially skeletons in each of their closets. Her characters have scars that are not just skin deep and they are each at a breaking point in their lives/careers and can't b.s. their way around it any longer. They each have to stand up and face their demons in their own way and that is something I think we all have to do on a fairly regular basis.The relationship between Claire and Evan is anything but easy but what relationship is? Very few relationships, especially amongst those in the military are ever fairy tale by any stretch of the imagination but that is what makes their relationship believable. You feel what they are feeling and you root for the happily ever after ending even though it seems like it would be an impossibility for two people like them. The romance between them is beautifully written, it's steamy and passionate and at times so frustrating you think "awww man, come on already!" but that is what makes it great!Thank you Jessica for writing another deliciously, toe curling romance and for allowing me to review it! I can't wait for the next installment!  - Jennifer
