ABOUT THE BOOK:

He came home a hero and lost the only woman he’s ever loved…  John I have no idea how to survive without my beloved Ava. She had no choice but to move on with her life during my six-year deployment and has now married Eric. I hate him for taking her from me. I’d prefer to wallow in my depression and heartbreak, but the whole damned world wants a piece of the SEAL Team leader who helped capture the world’s most-wanted terrorist. I need help handling the relentless requests, and when Ava sends her new sister-in-law to manage the media circus for me, I’m prepared to hate her on principle. Her brother took my Ava. What else do I need to know about her? Julianne It takes five seconds to realize Ava’s ex is going to be the most complicated and difficult client I’ve ever had, but the opportunity to represent the most celebrated man in the world could make my career. I’m determined to do the job, even if I dislike John from the moment I meet him. And I like everyone. So much so that my brothers worry about me being exploited by those who would take advantage of my unwavering love for others. But John… He’s in a class by himself, and his bitterness is a festering wound that I begin to wish I could somehow fix for him. The more time we spend together, the more our mutual disdain morphs into something that feels an awful lot like desire. There’s no way I can want this man, or so I tell myself, and when Eric finds out I’ve developed feelings for the man causing trouble in his new marriage, well… That’s going to be a hot mess. The hotly anticipated follow up to Five Years Gone releases on Aug. 6!

MY REVIEW 

It took no time at all for me to sympathize with the hero in this story because his heartbreak and disquietude engulfed him and practically leaped off the page. John West is heartbroken over losing Ava, his first love, and heartbroken over losing his brothers in arms as well as his Navy career. His anxiety level is high as he tries to adjust to a prosthetic leg and rebuild his strength and stamina. He's also not at all comfortable with his accidental hero status for helping bring down the world's most hated terrorist or the way the Navy wants to capitalize on his new-found notoriety. 

Now's the time I should probably tell you I didn’t read the first part of John's story (Five Years Gone) before reading this book. This part of his story is devastating enough without all the details of his broken heart, and any hint of a love triangle leaves me uneasy. But I adore John with Julianne and I loved watching him heal, grow, come alive and find love again. The story has a bit of a reality TV feel with the inevitable drama involved in Julianne and her siblings tying all of the relationships together, and it was fascinating to see how John and Julianne's relationship was received. If you love broken but redeemable military heroes, strong but caring heroines, plenty of angst and a HEA, you’ll love this book!

Where's My Slingshot When I Need It?

Alternate title: The Itty Bitty Reader Takes On the Marketplace Monopoly Giant If you do any advance copy reading of books or are in any book groups or authors’ groups on Facebook, you’ve probably seen authors and readers alike discussing their reviews disappearing from Amazon recently. Not long ago, all my reviews were deleted by Amazon, and I'll share some suggestions on what to do, should you find yourself in this situation, and some tips on how to hopefully avoid it happening to you in the future. Sadly, Amazon’s review system, especially for books, isn’t perfect and there are certainly abuses to it, but reviews really are critical to both authors and readers.  For authors, the more reviews their book has, the more notice it gets, which translates to more sales.  For readers, reviews hopefully give us accurate information so we can decide if a book is worth our time and money or if we should just move along to the next one. I’ve been reading advance copies and re...

Image
