Synopsis
“Thank you for your service” is what we’re taught to say to military men and women in gratitude for our freedoms won at their expense. Less often do we thank their families, those left behind to hold down the fort, to manage the day-to-day struggle of keeping everything up in the air until their
loved one returns.
When you can’t count on anyone else to save you, there’s only one real choice.
Amanda lost her husband to war. Alex lost part of himself. Through a series of
glancing encounters, Amanda and Alex find reasons to continue on. And together, they’ll discover hope and peace can be found in the most unexpected of places.

What Others Are Saying:
Excerpts of Goodreads Reviews
“ My favorite thing about this author's writing is her ability to reach me through the pages in a way that I can see and hear the characters so clearly. Their emotions and voice inflections, their whispers and cries...everything. Every one of her stories gives me the feels, but this one made my chest ache practically from beginning to end...sigh.”
“ A touching story that is affecting, poignant, passionate and inspirational..”
“ You really feel for these characters. You understand their pain and long for them to surrender to the love that they can have together!”
My Thoughts:
Our author’s Dedication is a thank
you and worth your time to read. You
also need to read her Acknowledgements that gives you a sense of her
inspiration. When I read it, I got the
impression that we might need to keep some tissues handy.
Amanda Stewart is trying to carry
on. Alex “Monk” Waterman has people that
know what he’s going through. This was a
great story that celebrates both the family of the military as well as those
that have served. It’s a reminder that
some family members seem to be forgotten and they seem to be alone.
I read this book at the perfect
time. The news ran a story where homes
were being built for service members and their families. It got me to thinking about those families
where the service member is no longer with us.
What kind of support system is out there to help? Does someone reach out to them? Or are they expected to do the reaching?
This story went by too quickly. The author doesn’t shortchange her readers
either. There are gaps and there needs
to be in order to keep it within the short story parameters. The gaps aren’t important to the story so you
don’t feel as if you’re missing out on anything. It’s a romantic read. We have a man who takes the time to woo a
woman whose heart needs to mend. He has
his own issues but they take a backseat so he can help her heal. It was a great beginning to introduce the
reader to this series. I can’t wait to
get to know the rest of the characters.
And I have to wonder if we will see Amanda and Alex again.
Author Bio:
Raised in the south, MariaLisa learned about the magic of books at an early age. Every summer, she would spend hours in the local library, devouring books of every genre. Self-described as a book-a-holic, she says “I’ve always loved to read, but then I discovered writing, and found I adored that, too. For reading … if nothing else is available, I’ve been known to read the back of the cereal box.”
A hockey fan, hiker, gamer, and single mom of a special needs son, she embraces her inner geek and has been working in the tech field for a publishing company for a couple decades.
Music is a driving passion, and she says, “I love music of nearly any genre — jazz, country, rock, alt rock, metal, classical, bluegrass, rap,hip hop … you name it, I listen to it. I can often be seen dancing through the house in the early mornings. But I really, REALLY love live music. My favorite thing with music is seeing bands in small, dive bars [read: small, intimate venues]. If said bar [venue] has a good selectionof premium tequila, then that’s a plus!”
