Blurb: Former U.S. Army Sergeant Wade Carter returned from Afghanistan a broken man. Permanently injured and weighed down with PTSD, his scars run deeper than flesh and bone. When his regular physical therapist is taken ill, the sexy replacement doctor has Wade wishing he’d touch much more of his body than his busted leg.
Dr. Jesse Okenah isn’t a beginner when it comes to working with veterans, but his new patient stirs up feelings that go beyond professional. It’s Wade’s wounded soul. More than his mangled leg that needs TLC in order for him to live a healthy, fulfilling life again. Jesse just needs to figure out how to deliver that care to the stubborn vet without crossing a line — and losing his heart.

Review: This is one of those stories that hit you close to home. Especially if you have had a love one who served in the military. We always hope that they come home safe but for those who do not we pray for the pain they feel. Not only do they come home physically hurt but emotionally and mentally. They have to go through PTSD and sometimes it comes close to suicide or homicide. The pain they feel you feel.
Wade was a sergeant in the military and he came home with a damaged leg. He also suffered from PTSD, nightmares, pain and anger, also fear. He had an appointment with a doctor and you can tell right off the bat that he is angry at everyone. A gentle doctor came out to check on him and did more for him then anyone else could. He took the time to show him that he was worth it all. Jesse was amazed by the gorgeous man in front of him, and knew he was falling in love with his new patient.
I had a blast reading this story and would definitely recommend it to everyone. You might beware that at some parts of it might have you in tears. It is a great story but I do wish it had been longer. However for as short as it was, it gave you what you needed.
