4 out of 5 stars
The story started slow, but quickly I was engaged and couldn’t wait to keep going.
Skye and Brendan were each other’s first loves 10 years ago in Germany where both their fathers were stationed in the army. Skye broke up with Brendan when her father was transferred to another base. She thought she’d lost her love forever.
Eventually, Skye falls in love with a soldier, Oliver, and even though she was forced to follow her father all over the world, she still wants to try this relationship. She feels a strong connection to Oliver and even accepts his marriage proposal. Soon, though, Oliver is sent away to Colorado before shipping out for his next tour overseas, and Skye is forced into a long distance relationship that turns out doesn’t work.
A lot of things happen with Skye in this book and she tries to push Brendan away time and time again. I am thankful that he was so persistent and didn’t let her escape him. Even though she keeps pushing him away, she knows that she’s doing the right thing:
I saw the love in his eyes and knew that I couldn’t have made a better decision than giving us a chance. No man would ever make me feel like Braden did. He treated me like a princess and was incredibly patient with me.
Of course, Braden was totally addicted to Skye. He never really stopped loving her and he often reminded her of that as well:
“But you never left my heart. You own me - heart, body, and soul. I will do anything in this world to make you happy.”
The love was so strong in this book I felt it on every page. I wanted to keep reading to make sure they didn’t screw it up. And though there were moments I got antsy, and even occasionally mad at Skye, I was so happy to see them continuing to work it out.
All of the characters in this story are well developed and definitely make an entertaining crew. Though the story is about Braden and Skye, the others are wonderful additions. Caige plays a great big brother who has a lot to offer, but keeps himself hidden from everyone. Faith has a history that is close to revealed in this book, but she is a great friend and really only wants the best for Skye. Seth needs a love in his life and I think he provides something for Braden when everyone else has kind of been taken away from him.
I can hardly wait to see what Steffy brings us next!
