I found this book to be quite suspenseful. I connected to the characters and thought the two main characters fit together very well. While there was some romance I found it did take a back burner to the other events going on through out the book. Overall a great book to curl up and relax with :)

This is one of the saddest books I've ever read. It had me crying at chapter two and kept me in tears for most of the book. Wes Holden, special forces, was held prisoner of war and suffered PTSD. Shortly thereafter, his family is killed in a terrorist bombing. His life is a mess and he is troubled by flashbacks. He runs away and hides from the world and finds...love. Unfortunately, danger is stalking his new love and once again he's in it up to his eyelashes.

As sad as this book is, it is stil wonderful and a must read.

On the positive side, this was an absorbing read with sympathetic protagonists. On the down side, too many subplots created one-dimensional characters, many with no apparent motivation.

Wes Holden has witnessed the ravages of war firsthand as an army special ops, but nothing could have prepared him for the senseless dearhs of his own wife and son-or the private nightmare that follows. An empty shell of a man, he is unable to do anything but survive. Until the day he walks into Ally Monroe's yard...

Wes Holden has been through hell. Literally, He has faced life and death in Iraq, he is a special ops soldier, who has finally made it home. Suffering from Post Delayed Traumatic Stress he is trying to pull his life togather. Suddenly his wife and son are killed in a terrorist attack in the commissary at Ft Benning. Wes shuts down. After almost a year the military releases him to his half-brother. They don't think he will ever come out of the catatonic state he is in. However, left to his half-brothers care, he suddenly realizes he will die if he doesn't escape. So When Aaron Clancy leaves him to sit in a chair alone without anyone to feed or care for him, he rises, packs a bag and leaves.

Walking and hiding from most everyone he travels from Miami to West Virginia.He has been on the road almost a year. His mind torn and shattered, he finally walks out of some woods to hear a sweet voice singing a hymn.

Ally Munroe is the 28 year old daughter of Gidion Munroe. She has a limp and has taken care of her family since she was 16 when her mother died. She has just about given up on her hopes and dreams when the tall, ragged, sad faced man walks out of the woods. At first a little afraid she still offers him food and finally offers him a place to stay. She has inherited her uncle's litte cabin hidden in the woods.

With care and warmth she reaches out to the wounded animal that Wes has become. And Wes fighting and wrestling with his own dreams, or rather nightmares, slowly begins to open the door to his feelings which have been locked up so long.

What neither see is the evil that has come to these mountains. An evil from the city, full of greed and ego. An evil they will both have to fight.

Sharon Sala has given us a novel of all the emotions. I cried, I laughed. And at the end I was humbled. Do not miss this book.
