4-Stars Review

It's a great book. I loved the story and all the characters. Although a little more depressing than I initially thought. ;) It tells a story of two army officers who are deployed in Afghanistan. Joey and Colin met once before, they had an instant connection but neither wanted to start a relationship just before deployment. Now they are here, on a mission together. When they got hurt the recovery took a lot more than either of them could have anticipated. Since they are perfect for each other and clearly on love maybe they will find their way back to each other....

Joey is a pilot and works for the army. She has always had difficulty maintaining a relationship. Guys find her profession a little intimidating. Also it's difficult because she stays away for months when she is deployed. So when she meets Colin she doesn't tell him about her profession and just wanted to see where this will all lead....

Colin is still not over loosing a comrade, his friend Nate, who dies in front of him and he couldn't save him. Now he is having nightmares about that night. So when his friends try to cheer him up, he went along. Then he meets Joey. She is perfect and he doesn't want to start a relationship at this time. So nothing could come out of it. But when he sees her again, he simply cannot resist it and they both decided to see where things will go once they get to know each other....

I liked it a lot. It is a good read and I'd recommend it to all book lovers who don't mind reading about battle fields, and the scars they leave behind.
