This book is not an easy, breezy contemporary romance. It's a well written story of one young lady's triumph over years of hidden abuses and the soldier who rescued her, believed her, and saved her from her horrible situation and how they fell in love. The story takes place over several years and deals with some hard issues like rape, self mutilation/cutting, unwanted pregnancy, and parental abuse. It is not for the faint of heart, but it also deals with therapy, healing and finding yourself as an individual, independent adult. I gave it half a star off for some editing problems and minor formatting issues. Otherwise, I recommend this book, and will be looking for the companion novel about 'the Good Sister'.Heat factor hot.
