Blurb:
Matt
McCall’s struggles to reintegrate into civilian life have been an ongoing
battle for the better part of two years. Daily group sessions and weekly
one-on-ones have only allowed him to grow so far. Twice he’s returned to his
home state of Indiana and twice, he retreated to Mike’s Place. Uncertain of
where he belongs in the world, he silently battles depression. The unexpected
gift of Jethro, a black Labrador Retriever, perks his spirit…and a chance
meeting in the park gives him a precious gift…
Aspiring
country singer, Naomi Sparks, comes from a long line of Marines, so she knows
all about sacrifice and struggle. When her Congressman brother asks her to
visit Mike’s Place on his behalf, she discovers a real opportunity to make a
difference. And meeting former Marine Matt McCall inspires her with the real
challenge of discovering love and daring heroes who takes risks. Writing music
has never been so sweet….
Can
one woman who believes in him really heal the wounds in this Marine’s heart?
My Review:
Matt
McCall is working hard to acclimate to civilian life. He’s struggling with
PTSD, and is back at Mike’s Place to get the help he needs. I like Matt, he’s
hurt yet fighting to get better. Jethro, his unexpected best friend, adds a
level of warmth to this story. This is part of Decadent Publishing’s Challenge
Series and the challenges that Matt faces are handled beautifully. Naomi
Sparks, is a child of a Marine and a sister to Marines, she’s dealt with PTSD
before but never saw herself falling for a Marine. Jethro and Matt charm her
with their quiet ways and inspire her to new heights.
I
can truly say that I enjoyed this story. It moves quickly yet builds slowly all
at once. It’s a short story but I felt very satisfied with this story when I
finished. Ms. Long writes a great military romance, and I pick up each and
every one, and I’ve yet to be disappointed. The way Matt’s journey is
interwoven with the romance entranced me and drew me in. I recommend this story
for lovers of hot, strong Marines and fun loving women with the heart and
strength to love them through anything.
