I received a copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review.Book #4 in the Coming Home seriesI love damaged military heros.  As a veteran, I feel every pain these wounded warrior feel as well.  I celebrate every triumph with them.  I wish all our heroes in uniform had happy endings.Sergeant First Class Reza Iaconelli is on the fast track to seeing his Army career flush down the toilet if he can't stay clean and sober.  He's been told time and again that the powers that be can't continue to cover for him.  There are certain things though that Reva won't compromise on.  He won't give up on his men.  He doesn't believe in coddling one when so many need training to stay alive once they're deployed.  So when a particular soldier keeps going to the clinic seemingly to shirk duty, Reza won't stand for it.  He wants the dead weight out of the Army so he can focus on the mission.Captain Emily Lindberg has joined the Army to help people in need.  She doesn't see things the same way that Reza does.  As she spends more time with Reza trying to help these walking wounded, she begins to have an impact on him as well.  She shows him that maybe his way of thinking isn't necessarily as cut-and-dried as he thought it was.  Maybe there's more underneath the surface of these young men and women then just trying to get out of combat.  After all, command officers aren't gods.  They aren't always right.Emily also helps Reza face his own demons and realize that if he wants to not only keep his career, but her as well, he really needs more than just his own iron will in the fight to stay sober.Jessica Scott does a wonderful job of personifying a strong man who's not afraid to admit that combat is scary.  And then face his vulnerability & spit right in it's eye.
