It was a good read. I liked both Maddie and David's characters and story was also good. Although the book has more serious tone than I expected but it is no less interesting. War changes people and the story has tried to capture the internal struggles of those who have been directly effected by it. I think that it was well written and quite engaging but some things did seem a little rushed, especially in the end.
P.S. I received a complementary copy of this book.

Sweet, sappy romance-classic stuff. Maddie is still pining for her deceased husband and David is the commanding officer who feels responsible for his death. The two end up thrown together to coach her nephews football team. Its sweet and sappy and a classic trope but its not poorly written. Maddie and David are enjoyable characters. The boys on the football team are typical elementary school kids with elementary kid shenanigans. Its a predictable story though-no surprises or major plot twists. Its about Coach Maddie learning to open herself up to love again and about David learning to forgive himself. If you want a quick romantic read, this is a solid pick. It won't blow you away, but you will feel the love and the lack of angst was a nice change of pace for me.
