Not only does the author write a wonderfully entertaining & suspenseful love story, but she also includes many issues our military, specifically our, veterans face. Unfortunately our society continues to portray negative stigmas associated with anyone with mental health issues: PTSD, anxiety or -in the case of this story- the difficulty many face with their reintegration back into "normal society" as civilians vs the active military personnel they'd been accustomed to. I absolutely LOVE how the author brings light to many of these diseases/disorders in a matter of fact way, just as if someone was battling cancer, for instance. Mental health is just as much a part of our overall health as any physical issue (such as cancer) & MUST be treated as such! It's wonderful to follow the characters thru their healing processes, while also following their personal growth ... and all within a hot, steamy & romantic love story! Thank you for bringing light to the "taboo" subject of mental health!!

It was a DNF for me. I read other works from this author and it looks like she has a thing for writing ridiculous and foolish women and I didn't really like the portrayal of women like that. I mean she tried, I guess, to play it off as them being protective and loving but it just comes out as selfish and ridiculous to me. So yeah, this is not for me.
