Publisher's summary

I can't escape my past. West wants to be my future.

When West, a former SEAL and my online gaming buddy, begged me to meet him IRL (in real life), one word, one touch, one look sent me fleeing like a coward. Back to my keyboard, online gaming, and the deadline that could make or break my whole programming career. Back where I'm safe.

Problem is, West followed.

Forced back into a world I'd rather forget, Cam's the one thing I'm afraid to lose.

My civilian life looks great. On paper. But my business is tanking, and I can't sleep more than a few hours before I jolt awake. Screaming. Shaking. Alone. Out of options, I accept a mission I might not come back from. But when I need Cam most, fear sends her running.

If I survive, can I convince Cam love is worth the risk?

Wow full of action

Wow it’s a great listen
Hero is West (A seal ). Heroine is Cam .
This is a fast pace action story from the first sentence to the end. All the characters are civilians now. All the characters will need to lear to life with their hang ups and some with injuries.
Cam and West meet playing an online war game. After a game West suggested that both he and Cam meet for a coffee . They do at a local coffee pub butttt Cam has hang ups that she can’t get over

Meanwhile West gets a call from a friend that was a seal also for an another assignment. West first says no . West mind keeps on playing tricks by showing him past scenes in the war torn part of the world and urging him to go to one lady assignment

Does West tell Cam. Does he go

Great Story

Only complaint, if you want to call it that is the HEA was too rushed at the very end. The hardship for all involved deserved more, or maybe I just wanted more story. Either way, this story is worth the read.

I would like to read more from this author! The narration was great too. This book was entertaining and interesting.

Terrific Story & Narration🎧 Gripping & Heartfelt!

I enjoyed this book immensely, the story is well written and told, it drew me right in, grabbing my attention and holding it the entire time. The storylines and characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. Camilla “Cam” Delgado, former military, an explosives expert who was injured while on a mission in Afghanistan. She suffered permanent damage from those injuries, being a computer geek and great at coding she currently works on programing security systems for a company run by Royce, her former boss while serving. Other than her job Cam does not get out much, she does go online to unwind, she also visits VetNet where she meets out Veterans. She friended West, former Seal, owner of Krav Maga studio that is struggling financially a new fitness center opened up taking away some of his business, he has plans to expand but needs to obtain financial support to do so. He has taken a like to Cam and wants to meet her in person and take the relationship to another level. Cam has insecurities and battles her own inner demons but agrees to meet him. Their first meeting ends in disaster but he does not give up on her. I adored both these characters, perfectly imperfect, had real life problems and issues. I admired Cam’s strength and West for compromising, doing something he did not want to do to further his goals. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, a touch of angst, some mystery, twist and turns, thrilling suspense, heartfelt and emotional moments and some hot romance. Patricia D. Eddy, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Kale Williams and Lisa Zimmerman are fantastic narrators and voice artists. They do an awesome job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own distinct voice making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. They grasp their character’s persona, capture all their emotions and project them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the great listen🎧

Entertaining, but not spectacular

Entertaining, but not spectacular. I enjoyed the casting for narration. I would recommend if looking for military romance. I will continue in this series.

Solid military romance

4.5 stars — I came for the latina heroine (for my diversity challenge), I stayed for the awesome narrators, relatively accurate coding references, amazing female software developer, and patient hero.

First, the narrators: Both narrators are new to me, and I enjoyed them both. I LOVED Ms. Zimmerman in particular, she added so much emotion and depth, she easily got me crying at the challenging parts. She was also killer on the different voices for different characters. Mr. Williams had great pacing, but slightly less emotion variance for West. And while his different voices weren’t quite as good as Ms. Zimmerman’s, I thankfully enjoyed his female voices (which can be a sticking point with male narrators).

Oh man, for such a short novel, these characters really packed a punch. I felt the most for Camilla, which is odd because she was riddled with flaws that usually make me want to smack them. She allowed so much of her past to influence all her present day interactions…and while we all do that to a degree, she was doing it to her detriment. She had such a fear of abandonment, that she really kept people at arm’s length. And she did make me growl at her on multiple occasions, particularly with her conflicts with Lucas (sp?) and West. But something about the way that Ms. Eddy wrote her had me understanding her, and still empathizing with her struggles. She was so smart and badass, but her stranglehold on her independence almost lost her some great people.

I LOVED that she was this kickass female programmer, and I appreciated that the coding references were actually not that bad…usually I roll my eyes. I also really loved that we got such an in depth look at quite a few different “aftermath”s of military service. I loved how she participated on the vet net board, trying to help other vets and make sure they knew they were not alone. It really gave a great glimpse into what they go through when they return.

West was pretty awesome too, but I will admit that I didn’t feel like I got to know him quite as well. I loved how persistent he was in his pursuit of Cam. I loved that he could be soooo patient with her, but he also didn’t allow her to walk all over him. He was very forthright. And I appreciated his very real struggles of trying to make his Dojo work, and I LOVED what he was trying to do with its expansion.

And their chemistry was pretty solid, from friendship to steamy. I almost wish we’d gotten more time with them together though…I felt like we got 2 strong separate stories, but I wanted to see how they made their lives work together too.

Lots of great secondary characters, and I can see how this one is shaping into a series. I will definitely be putting more of them on my wishlist. I will admit that I saw the “bad” guy fairly early on, and as my hubby put it: why can’t the heroine have been reading this book? She would have seen it right away! 😉 I really loved how that all shaped up in the end.

So yeah. Gotta love it when you ask for recs, and it turns out SOLID.

Exciting Romance

I loved this fast paced, sweet, exciting romance. The narrators did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher and/or author and/or narrator in exchange for an honest review.
