Publisher's Summary

Struggling with both PTSD and the trauma of his ex-wife's infidelity, retired marine Wesley Holt seeks a simple civilian life. His favorite waitress at the Perfect Diner secretly stirs his heart. Yet Wes - scarred by betrayal and racked by guilt over his fallen comrades in Afghanistan - stays quiet, convinced he can never love again...or be loved.

Waitress and single mother Carlie Stewart hides fear behind her smile. Her ex-husband has escaped from prison and wants their son - and revenge. When the fugitive arrives to wreak havoc, Wes insists Carlie and her son stay with him for protection. Finally daring to let her guard down, Carlie divulges her dark past to Wes, and, to her surprise, Wes appreciates her strengths and longs to trust her with his tattered heart. The safer they feel with each other, the more trust and passion grow. But can they overcome the demons in their pasts - and the heartbreak they've carried into the present - to build a lasting future together?

Pretty Engaging Entry In this Series

This series, about a group of ex service people working at a furniture company in Indiana has been consistently good. There is enough emotion, angst and damage to keep the characters sympathetic and back story to keep it interesting. I don't think this fourth book in the series is as strong as at least two of the earlier entires, but it was still worth reading. There isn't much humor, but you do like the characters. And the ending is positive. Dove does a good job with narration.

Twisted Road to You

Another great story with so much insight into real life and it's tribulations! Now what?

Perfectly precious

This series is so wonderfully written & they all live happily ever after. The characters are all great & they all are included in each book. I like that we get to see.what happens to every & how they all come together to help & protect each other.

Somethings are just too icky in a love story..

This wasn’t quite as sad and depressing as A Change of Heart because of Carlie’s crazy, escaped convict, ex-husband. However, When you read something in a book and you think “didn’t I just read that in the last book,” you gotta wonder how lazy an author can be to do that. When Carlie first went into Paige’s kitchen almost the exact same conversation was said as there was when Cory, A Change of Heart, went into Page’s kitchen. It was so glaring it wasn’t even funny. And when Cory brought a dish, for whatever she was bringing it for, it was Pasta Salad and when Carlie brought a dish it was a Pasta Salad. Really? But best of all was when Wes was going to teach Tyler, Carlie’s 6 year old son, how to pick up dog poop. Eww. Was that necessary? Or when the nurse then the PA, days apart, asked Wes if he had passed gas or pooped yet, while he was in the hospital. Seriously gross. In a romance novel it's just too hard to forget something you've read like that then think about them having sex. BUT, that's just me.

I’m glad Jared, the idiot ex, was in this book or I might have had a DNF on my hands.

Because there was a LOT of I’m not good enough for her and I’m not good enough for him going on, and I hate that!

Anyway, I’m done with the Perfect Indiana PTSD series.

There was explicit sex in this book and the F-bomb was used 5 times.

As to the narration: I absolutely love Eric G. Dove! His voices and emotions when he reads are spectacular.

Great Series!

A great series. Really get a feel for the car.

Eric G. Dove is one of my favorite narrators and was glad to see him chosen for this book (he narrates the Bluegrass Series by Kathleen Brooks). Wish he would have been picked to perform for all books in this series.

Loved it

Totally loved this entire series. The storylines and characters were very well developed and kept me interested from beginning to end.

Another great books of this wonderful series however I hope there is at least one more to come.

I love this series as I have said before all of the characters are so relatable to today's time it's very easy to start this book or the first book and just not be able to put it down. With it being a series I'm glad I found all of them before I started reading in the wrong order however if you come across this and then find out that you're actually reading the last books instead of the first books 1st it doesn't matter it's still will make sense which I love that about series. But I do have a request for the author I would really like one last book to wrap it all up from the characters of this last book and then the very last follow up on all the other characters that we've met through theis four books journey.

another winner

I have loved this series from the beginning. And this latest does not disappoint. Loved seeing the two main characters grow and develops

Another "PERFECT" Love Story!!!

I loved how strong they were for each other, both putting the other before themselves. It's what we all want in a PERFECT romance! Love your books, Barbara Longley! I've read them all! -Felicia Johnson

Where were Kate Rudd or Nick Podel?

Got used to these two narrators, so Eric Dove's voice just didn't fit in. I hope Barbara Longley writes more in this series.
