About this ebook
"This book is steamy, intense and suspenseful. This second chance romance will have you swooning & falling in love, especially with little Anna May, and gives you such a roller coaster of emotions that is delivered exceptionally well."
One word.
FEAR.
FEAR I wonʼt make it home.
FEAR I'll never be man enough in anyone's eyes.
Including my own.
And worst of all, FEAR that Iʼll never feel again
the way Jolene Stewart makes me crave her next touch.
I've tried to forget her.
I've pushed her away in order to protect her from what I FEAR most.
Making her a widow.
But no matter how long it's been since I've seen her face,
no matter how many years go by without her touch,
the second our paths cross again Iʼm an instant fiend needing my next fix.
Sheʼs my kryptonite.
My vice.
The one thing that makes me secretly wish for tomorrows and forever after's when all Iʼve ever done is serve.
Give without even a thought for my fellow man & country after seeing so many soldiers die by my side.
But now, all I want to do is stay with her and her daughter
in this new world and home weʼve created together.
Although when nightmares from her past come calling,
and my next tour has me leaving with the FEAR I once again wonʼt return...
this time can I be man enough to promise her forever?
Or will finally giving her my heart be worse than any fate that waits for me overseas?

"What a heartbreaking book! I love reading about military romance and this one GAVE ME ALL THE FEELS! The events, the action…perfected! Emotions, love, darkness for both the main characters. It was deep and heartfelt."
"This is the first book I have had the honor of reading for this author and boy did she take me on one heck of an emotional rollercoaster. The romance was raw, at times, even gut wrenching... the intimate scenes were just plain fire.... the character's pasts were heartbreaking."
"The twists in this book were amazing and it had just the right amount of suspense mixed with romance to keep you glued to the pages and sometimes even yelling and venting. Fantastic book - FIVE stars!"

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"Let me love you, Jo. Beautifully. Just the way I see you."
This book....oh my goodness this book!!! The love story of Troy and Jolene touched my heart so dang much. There is nothing more romantic than how their story evolved. They met ten years ago and fell in love but Troy is enlisted in the military and tells Jolene not to wait for him and she does anyway. As chance would have it five years later they run into each other again and it is like those five years never passed them by and he does tell her to wait for him before he deploys again. Jo has no problem with that until she receives a letter from him telling her to not wait. She manages to pick up the pieces of her heart and start a new life. In the following five years both of these two endure tragedy so intense that they needed to find each other again even if they hadn't realized it yet.
This is probably one of the most emotional books I have read in 2021. My heart physically hurt for Troy and the burden he carries...especially when I read the horrible events surrounding what pains him. He is a fierce protector and wants to love Jo and Anna May with all of his heart, and he does, but his head won't allow it because he cannot promise he will come back to them after a deployment. Jolene's life the last five years was so horrible having barely escaped being killed and yet she still has a reason to smile thanks to her daughter, and now Troy. She wants so desperately for him to open up to her because she knows his love for her runs as deep as her for him. She searches deep inside herself when faced with Troy leaving again and comes to the best conclusion she can live with. Troy's stubborn streak almost causes him to lose the only woman he has ever loved.
Evelyn Montgomery completely nailed this story. There is suspense, happiness, joy, pain, and heartbreak and after all of that it wraps up by healing you heart at the beautiful HEA. I am a sucker for the terms "beautiful" and "darlin'" when a man is speaking them to their lady loves and there was no shortage of those. I know this is going to be a top recommendation to my reader friends/groups.
