- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017What an amazing book. I really love how the book focuses on the struggles Jake faces. After a heartbreak he joins the Army to begin a career as an officer. Working his way up in ranks his facing losing his best friend during their deployment and ultimately his own. Sheer coincidence brings him and his biggest love Mel back together. Still upset over his ruthless break up with her she is not giving Jake an option but to grovel and giving him a swift kick in the behind when he's ready to give up.
A great book with a cliffhanger in the end. You don't want the story to end. Annalise Blaze really embraces the struggle soldiers face dealing with injuries sustained during war. A great book that makes you look forward to the follow up.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2017While probably not the intention of the story, it's a good look at how important communication is in a relationship. I enjoyed this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2024I could not put down this quick story. It held my attention, though I was a bit disappointed that it was not an HEA. I really wanted to see how it ended. Mel and Jack connected, before he entered the military. Misunderstandings, injuries, and more affected their relationship. Apologies were coming and hopefully acceptance and forgiveness in the next book. I felt it was worth the read.
This is my unsolicited review.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017Powerfully gripping story about a man who has always know what he wanted to do with his life, what he wanted to be, and does just what he had set out to do. But he does seem to lose something of himself after wounded in combat and returning home. Something that he needs to fight to get back.
This book is so very well written with a storyline that will grip you and bring you right along with Jake through the heartbreak of his first love, finding new love, heading overseas where he's stationed in the army, and then again, the heartbreak of losing another love. Then there's the things that happen while he's on tour that bring his past and his present crashing head-on, when he goes to see about one of his men, his best friend who was wounded and talks to the surgeon who is working on his friend. It's her!
The characters are very well written and quite well developed. Jake know what he wants to do with his life, and he goes for it. He's wicked handsome, built and he's finding it hard to believe that women can be good for anything other than a one night stand after his girlfriend plays him when he goes off to college.
Mel is smart, sweet, beautiful and she's the one that makes Jake think that maybe he was wrong about women. And she loves him as he does her.
This is a wonderful beginning to what promises to be an amazing series(?). I look forward to reading To Hell and Back: Mel's Journey.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017I feel like I need to break my review into two parts. First, while the romance was not my thing: Jake decides all women are untrustworthy after one bad relationship. Then when he tries a second time he's given information about the new woman that he doesn't talk to her about he just assumes the worst and sends her a Dear Jane letter. What I really find hard to believe is that such an incredible woman is still single 15 years later. Ignoring the romance I found the story confusing. It was almost like reading the second book in a series without reading the first. Based on the title I expected more of Jake's story in the military but it just wasn't there. When Jake leaves Mel he is in Korea and then the story jumps ahead without explaining that Jake is then stationed somewhere else. The book definitely had great potential and maybe it will make more sense after reading Mel's story.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017Annalise has written a great military romance story. It has you feeling sorry for the main characters and their journey through combating the army life and love.
The main character, Jake, has his work cut out for him in trusting women and only see them as a means to his sexual conquests. Mel on the other hand is exactly what Jake needs, but one little lie tears their journey apart even before it's begun.
This storyline was great. However to me it felt too rushed, it went from one story after another without connection I needed. I wanted to feel more with these characters but I just couldn't get that high you get from reading their story, because there was no depth there.
This book for me would have had so much potential, if it wasn't missing the thrill of the chase and the heartfelt wounds Jake had to endure; especially with his time in the army.
