Loveswept
With its thriving military
base, Seaside, North Carolina, is teeming with heroes of all stripes. But, as
the Hero’s Welcome series from Annie Rains continues, it takes a cowboy to
rescue the town’s newest resident from heartache.
After a bad breakup leaves Julie Chandler
completely devastated, she comes to Seaside seeking a fresh start. A talented,
compassionate yoga teacher, she has developed a program to help alleviate the
effects of PTSD, but getting a bunch of bullheaded Marines into downward facing
dog might be impossible. So Julie’s shocked when one of her first students
dives in headfirst—and almost tempts her to take down her walls with his easy smile
and electrifying touch.
Ever since Texas cowboy turned Marine pilot
Lawson Phillips lost a crew member in a helicopter accident, he hasn’t been
able to fly. When a psychologist orders him to attend, of all things, a yoga
class, Lawson’s outraged—until he finds out Julie is the instructor. She’s
beautiful, graceful, and completely guarded when it comes to his advances, but
he’s determined to find out what makes her tick. Because underneath Julie’s
hard shell is a woman Lawson knows he could fall for—and he’s not ready for the
ride to end.

I
was given a copy of this novel for a fair and honest review.
Lawson
Phillips is a marine pilot on medical leave after his helicopter crashed,
killing one of his crew. In returning from Afghanistan, he suffers from PTST,
silently and without complaint.
Julie
Chandler is a fitness trainer, newly arrived near Lawson’s base in N.C. Her
attempts at finding a job has met with little success until she volunteers her
time to teach Yoga as a stress reduction technique at the Veteran’s Center. If,
after one month, she can prove her technique is successful, this will turn into
a much-needed paying job. Her family and friends support her endeavor,
especially since coming out of a horrendous three-year relationship.
When
Lawson’s PTSD symptoms prevent him from returning to active duty, he’s ordered
to take Julie’s class.
This
story deals with some very sensitive issues in our complex and ever-changing
world. The author has done a good job with a well-written novel. The characters
were well-developed, likable and for the most part, realistic.
The
pacing was well-done and flowed nicely. Supporting characters added and helped
move the story forward.
I
would definitely recommend this book to others and read other works by this
author.
