Cain's Salvationby Sarah O'RourkeFour StarsI have read many of Sarah's books and I must say that I personally feel that this may be my favorite so far.Cain and Faith are hometown sweethearts. They become engaged prior to him being deployed to Afghanistan. Cain is a physician and also a member of the reserve. Prior to his deployment he proposes to Faith and promises her that he will always love her no matter what happens. While away he is faced with tragedy, death and human despair. It begins to take a toll on him at personal level and he begins to question his professional and personal views and choices. He feels that he is no longer the man that Faith agreed to marry and decides ending the engagement is the best for both of them. He feels unworthy of her and his career. He decides to mail her letter and break off the engagement. He wants her to move on and find someone worthy of her love.His squad is on a routine patrol when they are ambushed and everyone is killed except Cain. This brings this broken man home to his family. He hides out on the family farm for an entire month without the town knowing he has come home.Faith has been heartbroken since receiving Cain's letter six months earlier. She feels that he must have met someone to have sent such a letter with no explanation as to why they should end their engagement.Faith's sisters are quite a feisty bunch of woman. They find out that Cain has been home and has made himself a recluse. Honor (Faith's oldest sister) takes it upon herself to reach out to Cain and go see him. She convinces him to take a job at their restaurant/bar and be a bouncer. She tells him that Faith has been working the night shift and could use someone to watch over her. Cain reluctantly agrees.Once Faith finds out what is happening she is distraught and angry. She can't believe that she will have to see him everyday. She decides that if she must be in the same room with him that she may as well taunt him by talking to every man in the bar. Things get out of hand and Faith sees first hand what the war has done to Cain. Will they be able to move past his physical and emotional scars and learn to love each other again?This was a very emotional, hot, sexy, love story. I hope that Sarah will continue with this lovely group of characters. I would love to see where Faith and Cain's siblings go after this book.~Michele~I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review,(
