BKM said: ". . . the writer kept the twist turning until the HEA came slowly. . . it was beautiful and worth waiting for." Kenneth D.
Johns said: "A beautiful military and romance book. There is both pain and love, but then so is life, both in and out of the military. The ending makes every bit of pain worthwhile though, just as in life. I can't wait to read the next book in the series."
Lisapiza said: "The chemistry between these two sizzled up my iPad!"
Heather W. said: "This book takes you on a ride that you won't regret taking! ! !"
HBIC said: "This wonderful romance takes a few twists and turns; some you see coming, and some you don't. Your emotions will go on a rollercoaster ride, but in the end it is most definitely worth the amazing ending."
Suzanne ~ The Island Book Blog said: "This was a very well written book and worth every minute of my time since it didn't cost me even a penny!"
