EXCERPT:

“Where were you?” she finally asked, her voice quiet.

“Afghanistan.”

He didn’t look at her, but he felt her body tense next to his. “Were you hurt?”

He shrugged, but then thought better of trying to blow off her questions. Maya had always said she wanted nothing but honesty from him, and he had been the one to offer this Q&A.

“I took some shrapnel in my chest, but it was all superficial.” He gazed down at her as she studied his chest as if she could see the wounds he was talking about.

“Did you kill?” she whispered, her stare never leaving his chest.

Dammit. This was the part he hated because she abhorred violence, but killing was his job. If he didn’t take out the bad guys, they would kill American soldiers, and he would be damned if that happened on his watch. “Yes.”

She closed her eyes for a moment.

“Did you think of me?”

“Oh, God, Maya.” He put his finger under her chin and turned her face to his. Her brown eyes sparkled with tears that made his heart feel as though it might quit beating. “Maya, it’s always you. It’s thinking of you that made me want to stay alive. It’s the thought of your smile, your face, your body pressed up against mine that kept me warm at night, the sound of your laughter that made me smile when I felt like I couldn’t smile again. Maya….”

He didn’t know what else to say, so he did what he had wanted to do since the day he left her almost a year ago. He brought his lips to hers.

Review

So romantic and beautiful.  I have friends in the military and I admire them greatly.  The job they do is difficult, dangerous, and often lonely.  The loneliness goes double for the family waiting at home.  It is hard to be separated for long periods of time and the horrors of war and fighting leave a mark on those exposed to it that cannot be explained to anyone who has not experienced it.

Landon knows these things firsthand.  In fact he has held Maya at arm’s length and refused to get serious because he didn’t want to put her through that.  But this last tour took its toll and he wants out.  But will Maya be willing to take him back again?  After all these times is she finally ready to put them and him behind her?

I cried, laughed, and rejoiced in this book.  I give this book 3.5 out of 5 clouds.
