I received this book from Netgalley. This story gives an in depth peek into Vets with PTSD. It's emotional, heartbreaking and hopeful. Shay hiring the Vets to help them get their lives back is inspiring, watching the struggles to change and heal is tough. Reese and Shay help each other overcome so much while they build a relationship and fall in love. This is such a great story, I only wish real life could be like this for all Vets.

This book was gifted to me. This has so many twists and turns, as soon as you start to believe something, you start having doubts. This isn't so of much a romantic story as it is a try figure out who did what story. By then end of the book Natalie has all your sympathy. Because really everyone else has left you disgusted or disappointed. And while the storyline leaves your head spinning, it is entertaining.

This book was gifted to me. This is the first book of this series and ends with what could be a HEA . There isn't much about Sebastian that is likable so far. Jane is naive and a little weak. But the storyline is off to a good start and has potential, the sex is really hot between Sebastian and Jane and their conversations with themselves are interesting. The coffee at the bar scene was funny and the scene with Charlie was entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.

This book was gifted to me. This is a dramatic and entertaining story with very stubborn and emotional main characters. It explores the behind the scenes crazy of the modeling industry, and the issues that being a celebrity cause. For the most part I liked Jake and Acacia, hated Elaine and disliked Acacia's father. It wasn't a great book, but it was decent.

This book was gifted to me. This is a good storyline, it's very sweet and entertaining. But I could never be friends with any of these guys, they act like 13 year old girls. Individually they are great guys, but get 2 or more together and it's embarrassing. I did like the book, except when there was a conversation it was sort of romantic. This author could write really good stories if he could write the characters as adults.

I love how this is a love story, it's not just about the sex, it's about falling in love.

This book was gifted to me. This is romantic, intriguing, and engrossing. Bax and Yakima make a very sweet couple. Bax inspires sympathy and disgust, he's funny but oblivious.

It has some BDSM in it, but mostly it's the tragic story of Natasha.
