Reviewer: GiGi
Review: The very beginning of this book had me biting my nails with anxiety, just as the author intended. This entire book is an emotional roller coaster. These guys had a great relationship over the past eight years, and then two years with Kristian serving in Iraq being an extreme struggle for both of them. The relief at being reunited is short-lived before what we all expect starts to happen: readjustment problems, PTSD, sexual issues, secrets and more test this relationship. Bring in the addition of Henrico, the best friend and long time admirer of Scott, and you have a whole other layer. There is not a lot of military, really, this book is more about relationship struggles, and I feel the need to warn you. There is a ton of emotion packed into this powerful little novella, and it’s not for the light of heart, but if you have a deep dark, heart like mine you’ll really enjoy this read. Just be sure there is no one in the room when the emotions get rolling, they might wind up a target for your e-reader when you toss it across the room!
