Review:
The author has referred to this book as her therapy after going through really challenging hardships in life, and I can completely see why this book was restorative to write. This book is a journey of recovery, healing, and learning to trust again.

Jessica did a great job representing PTSD and mental health well in this military romance. I was rooting for the budding relationship and loved watching them fall for each other. There were also really tense scenes during the missions, and you could tell that the author did an amazing job researching various topics!
