I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.… (mais)

In the back of my mind as I was reading I was kind of predicting it would end up being 4 stars, but I really enjoyed how things came together in the end, so I'm actually going to round up from a 4.5! Going in, this already had several elements that I typically enjoy, medical, soldiers, widows, gruff heroes with a tender little heart inside. =D So when I was offered a copy for my honest review, I was willing to gamble my time, hoping it would at least be decent. And I was really pleasantly surprised! The characters have a nice mix of opposite traits that create tension but ultimately complement each other, and some strong underlying similarities. And the story is very relationship focused (no murder mystery or anything) where we really see the characters grow and the relationship progress. (Plus, it had some nice steam =) ). I liked both main characters more as the story went along, and I was fond of the two primary supporting characters as well, (I would read a HR about the hotel owner for sure). I've read a few terrible books recently, so this was a very encouraging pickmeup.… (mais)
