Love is a battlefield.
Discharged under Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, former Marine major Cole Hammond is struggling to find a new identity. But PTSD casts a pall on everything, and his hard-nosed, homophobic father can’t even bear to look him in the eye. To top it all off, he’s pretty sure he’s flunking out of law school.
Marc Sullivan is a kind, sensitive romance author-slash-waiter with a thing for men in uniform. Cole’s not wearing his anymore, but there’s no mistaking the warrior Marc meets in the diner one rainy afternoon. Cole’s sexy smile and Carolina drawl prove irresistible, but Marc’s played this game before, and he always loses. Once a Marine, always a Marine, and if there’s one thing Marc knows about such men, it’s that they all leave him in the end. It doesn’t help that Cole’s practically closeted in public, or that he refuses to seek treatment for his PTSD.
But like any good Marine, Cole’s willing to fight for what matters. And like the characters in Marc’s stories, he’s certain that if they try just hard enough, together they can find their own happily ever after.

This was my first book by this author. While it's not a great book, it was okay. Not much else to say.

This was a good book although I started getting tired of the whining and constantly comparing the man to his exes. I do realize that this is pretty true to life! Still a great book!!!

I Also Recommend:
4.5 stars I¿ve read a couple of Cat Grant¿s books now, and I¿ve enjoyed every one, this one was no exception. I found it well written, the characters fully developed and engaging, and the story well paced. It was light enough for a nice weekend read, without being fluffy and had just enough angst without being overdone. It was all a good balance for me. The writing was a bit different in this one as the POV switches between a first person with Marc, and a third person with Cole. I rather liked it. I¿m not a big fan of books done in first person POV, I usually struggle to get into the other characters in the book. This worked for me, giving me a break from the first person and allowing me to fully engage with both characters. I liked both Marc and Cole in this, although, being a Marine lover, Cole won me over pretty quick. He was portrayed very accurate to some of the Marines I¿ve known throughout my life, and with the stories of PSTD they¿ve shared with me, I¿d say Cat nailed it. I enjoyed watching these two, both flawed in their own way, struggle to find their HEA. Bottom line: Recommended
