Rina’s Thoughts

A reader always has a certain mentality when s/he picks up a book to read determined by the category it was placed in. This was a military romance read and even though it had romantic elements with some spicy sex, this book was more family based than anything else and I had to adjust accordingly. I’m glad I did because it was a great read. The author was very realistic in his subject, plot and writing that it was very believable. The crisis in the book broke my heart and how Gale seemed to inspire hope in those in his life was great to see especially since he caused one heart break. Gale was going through a problem of his own he kept pushing behind the curtain until it pushed back in a big way.

The story had a great flow, easy to read and even though it wasn’t a great romance story it was a wonderful and inspiring one.
