This is the first in this series for me but it didn’t matter from a story perspective (this one can easily stand on its own). I think that returning readers may have been a bit more amp’d for this one, though, because it looks like Brogan and Ginny’s story has been a long time coming :)

So there is two main parts of the story – the romance and the peeping tom mystery. I’m gonna start with the love story, which I really enjoyed. Both Brogan and Ginny have some things in their past that they need to address, with a professional and with each other, to be able to build a solid relationship. I think that my favorite thing that Jordan does is make sure that these military vets get help from a therapist and have a chance to talk about their pasts & work on their issues. It is such a hot topic today and one that I think she handles really well.

And working through their troubles help bring Brogan and Ginny closer. They’ve apparently been doing this dance for a long time :) so they don’t need a lot of build up but their finally getting together is handled very realistically. (The writing style isn’t the smoothest, especially at the beginning, but once I carried through the early rough parts things started working for me.) Their’s is a wonderful slow-burn romance that is finally seeing it’s HEA ending and it’s a sweet ride, especially for those who have been there from the beginning.

The other piece of the story, though it is a bit less important, is the peeping tom case. I’m not sure how well the suspense portion of the other stories were done, but it wasn’t the strongest part here. There are a lot of red herrings and not a lot of hints to who actually did it. Instead you get attitude from lots of people, without explanation in some cases, so readers are busy looking in a lot of different directions but with clear clues lacking it seemed a little like the bad guy came out of nowhere.

BUUUUT to me this part of the story was really a catalyst for Ginny to address her feelings and for the two of them to work on some potential trigger points for their relationship. It’s not as vital to the story as it could have been so I easily let it go in favor of a satisfying coupling.

And Ginny & Brogan getting together definitely made me happy!
