review 1: 4.5 StarsThis was my very first read by this author and I must say that I enjoyed it a lot! The story line was good, the buildup was a bit slow at times, what with the whole soda can, I wouldn't have made a big deal about something like that, but I guess military men are trained to think and see things differently than us civilians. In any case, the execution of the story line was good as well, it wasn't over in seconds, like authors tend to do, they give us a huge buildup and then boom...nothing. This book wasn't like that, oh and just when I thought I had the answer figured out..I was wrong! I also loved the whole concept of the wounded soldiers, still being in the game, so to speak. I love that Shannon fell for John despite his disability, she saw past it and loved him ... morefor him, that's awesome! I wanted to give this read five stars but didn't for two reasons: 1) Shannon was annoying as hell with her crying! I swear she spent like 85% of the book crying! Everything made her tear up and cry, everyone made her tear up and cry! It was frustrating and I felt like slapping some backbone into her, but that would have only made her cry more....sighs!2) I hated John's hot and cold attitude. One minute he's treating Shannon like a princess and then the next minute he's treating her like she's a piece of dog crap that he can't be bothered with! All because of his own insecurities! She loves you, grow a pair and man up!Overall very good read and I look forward to continuing with this series!(READ AS PART OF THE DANGER ZONE ANTHOLOGY)
review 2: What a great surprise! I found this author through Bookbub and was pulled in through the blurb. Expect super characters with flaws you can relate to and a love story that melts the heart--through a typical snowy Colorado winter. I enjoyed the action, the tension, the suspense and decided I needed to read more from this author by the 6th chapter. If you haven't read a romance with military heroes, then this is the one to start with. less
