The Heart Wants by Krystina Rivers
4.0

Wow, this book was just so good! I'm a veteran so a military romance is right up my alley. I was especially intrigued because it's a saphhic romance with two women, one who is in the military during the time of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. This romance spans more than a decade and is forbidden, but begins with a meet cute between Sydney and Reagan, and their journey is both heartbreaking and beautiful. They work hard at figuring out ways to be together and know they are destined for each other. I really liked the military aspect of this book, and I felt it was written well. There is a great plot with a lot of character growth and a dual POV that gives you great insight to the characters, Overall, I really enjoyed this book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Krystina Rivers, and Bold Strokes Books for the eARC of this book.
