What It's About!

 

Only she ignites the passion within him…Navy SEAL Brody Battles’ last mission ended with him shot twice. He’s made enemies he’d like to forget ever existed all over the world. He’s more than ready to go home to the family he left behind, but when he returns, he faces sleepless nights, a possible security breach and the fear that his family has moved on without him.

Only he fills the void left in her heart…
Marrying her childhood sweetheart sounds like a fairy tale dream come true, but not for Devyn. Thanks to his job, her husband has been off on a secret mission for so long, he’s never even seen his daughters in person. But now he’s back, and the fairy tale life is in sight, but Devyn’s not sure the man that returned is the same man who left.

…and only death quenches their enemy’s thirst for revenge.
Stitching their broken family back together proves difficult when nightmares and secrets build a wall between them. And while they’re adjusting to being a family again, an enemy waits in the shadows, salivating for the sweet taste of revenge

 

 

My Take!

I enjoyed this read. It was realistic to me, especially me being a military wife of a grunt. When they come home it's an experience full of all kinds of different emotions balled into one, for both the military member and the spouse. I think the author did a decent job explaining it. It's nerve wrecking, scary, exciting, exhausting, and passionate. I know from my experience I had constant doubt. Will he still love me? Will he still find me attractive? Is he the same person? Then there are the worries to adjusting back into everyday life coming back from deployment. It's hard. Flashbacks, crowds, and every family member in the world bombarding you stretching you for time isn't a joke. Simple things as going to the zoo or sleeping with your spouse is a job, where it used to be normal. Readjusting is hard  on both. I've read military romances, and I am one to pick it apart and go in with really high expectations. Sure there were some grammatical mistakes in this read, but I think the author did a great job explaining both points of view. I enjoyed their story. I was interested the whole time, and I read the book in one day. I  look forward to the next books in the series. I rated it a four star rating because I didn't find a memorable quote that stuck with me, but this is a good read. I'd suggest it. Special thanks to Netgalley.com for allowing me to read this for an honest review.
