I enjoyed this book a great deal. My biggest issue was the plot device (the whole not talking about our problems leading to a break up). I hate romances that use miscommunication or lack of communication to create drama. Thankfully, the entire book isn't based on that, but it did take some of the shine off the book for me.

This book follows Noah and Grace as Noah tries to grovel his way back into Grace’s life and Grace tries to hold on to her sanity long enough to make sure that Noah never breaks her heart again. I was all prepared to love the heck out of this story because I love military guys and I’m on a New Adult kick. But both Noah and Grace trampled all over my nerves in this book. The back and forth, the not being upfront with each other, the angst, all of it was a bit much for me to take. I did end up liking the book because you can see the growth of both characters over the course of the book, but for some reason, I still didn’t completely love both Noah and Grace at the end. I liked them fine but they weren’t my favorite characters.

I am mighty curious about Bo though. I’m really looking forward to reading his book. I liked the author’s writing style so I’m going to give her next book a go. If you like military heroes and UFC guys then you’ll probably fall in love with Noah so you should give this a go.

I liked the story, especially how Noah and Grace met each other. Noah was this big, strong alpha guy who had the biggest soft spot for Grace. He knew he hurt her two years ago in the last letter he sent and he was determined to win her back. Grace was one of those girls that was a bit wallflowerish. She may have friends that are popular and she hangs with the cool kids, but she was someone who was always known as "so and so's sister/cousin/friend". You could understand why she didn't trust Noah's motives at first. I enjoyed following them as they worked out their issues and figured out that they could deal with the uncertainty in life, as long as they faced it together.
