This was a cute little story. However, I wish that it had been stated that this book was a part of a series as I missed so much of their story due to that fact. This book wasn't entirely what I expected. I liked the connection they had together and how he was with her kid, but because they had a prior relationship in a different book, I couldn't connect with this book or characters due to the fact I felt like I missed things.

Takes the reader on a page-turning ride filled with fun and amusement. Buckle up and hang on! A story that keeps you glued to it no matter what time of day or night it is.

Second chance to forever?

In the fifth book Destined hearts series we get Troy and Jolene’s second chance at a possible forever. Can I get out of their own way? Will they destroy each other again? The authors writing flawless and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shockingly intimate I have become a huge fan of this author. The author writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

Authors Blurb: 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?

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕
