About the Author

You want to know more about me? Well, let's see... I am just an average twenty-something following my dreams. I have a full time "day job" and by night I am an author. I guess you could say that writing is like my super power (I always wanted one of those). I am the lover of wine, sushi, football and the ocean; that is when I am not wrapped up in the literary world. Please feel free to contact me to chat about my writing, books you think I'd like or just to shoot the, well you know. A portion of all my royalties are donated to The Marcie Mazzola Foundation.

Ugh, just no

I love military romances, generally I get a little picky about them because I was an army wife so when things are wildly inaccurate I go a little crazy. This was not the case here, I just really didn’t like it. When I have a DNF I normally stop before 40%, I made it to 66% in this book. I honestly just believed it would get better, that there had to be more. There wasn’t.
I’m not sure if my biggest problem was the writing style or the immaturity of the characters. In the book the characters are in their mid twenties, with was seems like successful lives. And yet they all seem to be functioning alcoholics. I’m so not even kidding here at all. They start the day with beer, move on to liquor and then throw in some grown up wine for good measure. If you removed every sentence that has some form of alcohol in it you would lose half the book. Look I don’t mind if the characters are just drunk a lot, I mean I do, but reality is that that’s the reality for some people, but you don’t need to write every single time they get up for a beer. Or ask for a beer. Or grab a shot. It got so old, it doesn’t move the story along to constant tell me they are getting a new drink, like I get it they are drinking.
If the characters are drinking, they are crying. Or drinking and crying. These people cry more than any people I’ve ever met and I’m a crier. Obviously something traumatic happened, and not there is emotional fallout but if felt like the author was trying to make you believe they were struggling with their feelings but didn’t know how to achieve that so she just made them cry.
I skipped ahead and read the ending. No words. Just no. So glad I stopped. Just no.

Liked the story because of Walker and not so much Mags

3.5-4 stars. Mags met her future husband Randy while she was in college. Unfortunately, Randy dies while on a military mission after being married for only 2 months and Mags is left to grieve his loss. The one person who keeps coming around to check on her his Randy's best friend, Walker. It's obvious right from the beginning that Walker is a great friend and doesn't give up on Mags. He's got a reputation for not wanting to settle down by not having any serious relationships and keeps his upbringing and family life private.

Mags' suffering is relatable and real. She isn't thinking about moving on or trying to be happy with Randy gone. Walker misses him a lot, too, and together, through their shared mutual loss, Mags and Walker become best friends. There's an interesting story in here, but I struggled a little bit with Mags because she did a lot of pushing and pulling with Walker and it seemed like she was stringing him along.

As for Walker, there's more than meets the eye. He's clearly got a tortured past and is hiding something, aside from his feelings for Mags. I liked how he was there for Mags no matter what and waited patiently for her. However, given Walker's personality, I was surprised by how frequently he'd have tears in his eyes not related to Randy's death, but due to Mags rejecting him. The whole story is in Mags' POV so by the end, there's a little snippet that gives more insight to Walker and because he's still a mystery to me, I'm interested to learn more about him and why he made the decisions that he did that led to the circumstances that have transpired in the present day.

Gutwrenching, Emotional Read!

My Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars

This book centers around war widow Mags McManus. She married her college sweetheart just a couple months before he deployed with his best friend. We get a lot of grief, anger, and confusion from her. Why would her husband be taken from her? When he's so young? When they had so much to look forward to in life?... These are questions Mags will never get the answer to. But maybe she will get the chance to smile, laugh, and even be happy again. And that's all thanks to Walker, her late Husband's best friend.

Walker is a ray of sun when there's too much fog to see ten feet in front of you. He brings so much hope back to Mags, but Walker's got secrets too. Mags just doesn't know it. This book ends in a major cliffy, so be warned now. It's kind of a typical husband dies, heroine shacks up with the best friend, but something major happens at the end that makes you go Where did that come from?.

Overall, I think this is a a pretty average book for me. I think the ending is what caught my attention out of the whole book, but that's not always the best thing when you're reading a 300 page book. I would have liked to have been sucked in from the first or second chapter, but I really wasn't. I wonder if it was all the grieving that was in the air because I just felt so somber the whole time. I've got mixed feelings about this one. Thats why I'm giving this book 3.5 STARS out of 5 STARS.
