Heartbreak Warfare by Heather M. OrgeronMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
2,5 guilty stars!
“Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose.” — Michelle Rosenthal
The first thing you would notice about this book is how exhausting, heart wrecking, painful and full of injustices it was.
No one would blame Scottie for the 180° change in her personality and feelings but that doesn't mean the change didn't wrong people in her life that didn't deserve to be wronged.
“She is my mystery, my question, and answer, my wife, my reason for wanting a forever. From the minute she approached me at that crowded bar, I knew half of that truth.”
The first moment Scottie landed on Baghdad, she was taken aback by Briggs' good looks, dimple, smile and body. It means nothing because married doesn't mean blind and we are allowed to see good looking men and enjoy the show while it lasts, but the things she felt for him!! Whose were another story.
“Jesus, Scottie,” Briggs mutters. His lips are so close to the nape of my neck that his exhale is a caress and my panties flood. On edge but too far gone, I stand motionless as I wait for his next exhale.”
This would have been a magnificent read if I may use the term had the feelings begun after they were kidnapped and captured but I'm disappointed to say that things started long before and that in itself destroyed every feeling I would have willingly given to this story.
“In his eyes is clear evidence of everything I feel inside—lust, want, need. “Please believe me—I only came to apologize. I was out of line back there. A total fucking asshole. I’m trying…so hard with you.”
Gavin Oh Gavin! You were the exact definition of the noble man who did his best to save his marriage and prove to the world that there are out there men worth fighting for. I wish we could've gotten a full book of your story and how you found your way back to happyland because man, you deserve it but alas, the authors decided that an epilogue was enough.
