This book was simply amazing, it got me right in my feels. I cannot tenderness the last time a book made me feel such strong emotion, let alone cry! A beautiful story of war, broken people, fixing the past, trauma, brief, love, life, family and hope. This book 100% pulled me out of my reading slump! Highly, highly recommend.

This was more of a grief and sadness just for the sake of it. A lot of inaccuracies in military and op teams. The mother was very unlikeable and so one-sided.

"Ha. Because from the moment I saw your face and heard you speak, you were the only one I wanted." -Beckett

This book depicts grief in such a way that will leave you with tears rolling down your face but continuing to read the pages and having the need to read more. There is love and loss and hope and despair in almost every chapter. 

Ella and Beckett were the perfect pair and Ryan just knew they were what each other needed. I couldn't get enough of their love for each other and their need to keep each other. Love this little family and I am thankful that Colt and Maisie finally got to have a dad.

This book isn’t for everyone, and I’ll have to be mindful when recommending this one. But I can honestly say this is one of the most beautiful, deeply thoughtful, and touching stories I’ve ever read. 

The synopsis for this book did not prepare me for the havoc that this book would wreak upon my heart. I started to read spoilers about 77% in, and I wasn’t sure I could bring myself to read the end of this book. I think I made it 8 hours before I had to pick it up again. I wasn’t sure I’d like a book without a non-HEA. Touché Rebecca. Touché. 

This book rips you apart only to put you back together again. Rebecca does a beautiful job drawing you into this story. Topics addressed in this book are heavy! Even so, Rebecca does a beautiful job of addressing grief, loss, and fragility.
