It’s been
ten years since he set foot on home soil. Three, since his family and friends
were left grieving for a death that never came.Fighting for one’s country,
bearing witness to the atrocities of war has left former Sergeant Theo Lowell
as a shell of a broken man. Now that he’s back, it’s time to make a life for
himself. If only he agreed with everyone’s assessment that he was deserving of
it.
After all,
no one but him knew of the sins he’d committed.Instead of rebuilding himself
into a man ready for a family, friendship and happiness, he sets forth to do
some rebuilding of another kind. After all, if one deems himself helpless, why
not be helpful?When he knocks on Morgan Smyth’s door, the last thing he expects
is that rebuilding what is currently before him would prove to be such a
daunting task.Two hearts—emotional baggage—multiple wars are waged as a home
takes shape.Funny how redemption can be found at the tip of a screwdriver, the
head of a hammer, or better yet, when hit by a two-by-four!
My
review
It took me
time to finish this series, but I enjoyed the last book. I have to say that
this one is my favorite and the previous one was the last on my list. If you
want to read the five books and there is one you like less that the other, it’s
worth to be patient and read them all. I also recommend to read them in order
because some characters are coming back. I was so happy to see Jasper again. It
was my favorite in book 1 and it’s still a bungle of joy.
I prefer
this book because of Theo who fought for his country and came back after 10
years. I found his story touching. It’s
the second time I read a romance with that type of character and it’s
break my heart everytime. I found him cold with Morgan at first, but he was
feeling guilty about what happened while he was away and I learned to
appreciate him.
Morgan is
another character that I liked. I do not know many women who will want to work
on their house by themselves and just for that reason she inspired and
surprised me. Just like most of the women of this series, she is a strong
character that will keep the reader attention until the last chapter.
Until you
reach the other, I thought it was a romance novel like many others I read, but
the author surprised me with the intrigue. It took my breath away and I was
almost scared for the main character. Just for that reason, it worth to be
patient.
If you are
looking for a great romance with different type of mal characters that will
make you smile and cry at the same time, I recommend it to you.
Excerpts
" I prefer to work with my hands, P.
Always have. " And I wasn’t sure if I could deal
with the corporate aspect of things that came with working for a firm. I liked
the idea of being my own boss. It offered me the sense of control I found I
always needed since my capture. I couldn’t be anyone’s puppet right now. Maybe
not ever. (p.23)
" But, I’ve never had someone go to war
for me, to fight for me. " Morgan’s breath whooshed out. " That’s what makes you different from everyone else. I know my family
and friends love me. Hell, I love them too. But you, you top them by miles,
Morgan. You win my heart, my soul,…me. (p.140)
