Summary: Decent read, but could've been better
Review: the writing was a little choppy, but I found the characters both likeable and human. Kyla's loyalty to her late husband is frustrating because this is a romance novel and she's one of the obstacles to the HEA the hero and heroine are seeking, but her reluctance to move on is entirely understandable. Everyone grieves at her own pace and Trevor is incredibly understanding, despite how hard Kyla makes it for him.
At first, Trevor's obsession with Kyla was a little creepy, but, under the circumstances, believable and after Kyla finds out who he really is, Babs does put a positive spin on it and shows that he hasn't really done anything all that awful. I think it's more complicated than that, but this is one of Sandra Browns earlier books and she was restricted by the limits of a category romance.
It was interesting reading this reprint nearly twenty years later and seeing the way the military and the Middle East were presented in popular fiction after the Marine barracks bombing. It wasn't the thrust of the book, but for me it was enticing.
The only thing I didn't like about this book was that Trevor's injuries were never an issue. Yes, superficially they sort of affected the plot. There were a couple instances where people stared and he was a little self-conscious with Kyla about the damage to his leg. But Brown presents him as just so sexy that it's not really an obstacle for him. I think I would have liked him more if he had not been a ladies man suddenly changed by this terrible tragedy into a one-woman man but who still has all the charm and charisma and sex appeal that make him the town's most eligible bachelor. I think of all our servicemen who weren't incredible ladies' men before terrible injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan and find their story to be missing here.

Summary: Pretty good book
Review: This book had a great storyline. Guy falls in love with girl through letters to her husband, who is guy's best friend. Of course he feels like it's his fault his best friend died. The letters get him through two years of recovery then he goes to make girl fall in love with him. It was a really sweet story. They only thing I didn't like is how Kyla kept saying to herself that she promised her husband that she would be faithful to him until she died. If she honestly asked herself if her husband would want that for her she would know the answer. I thought that was the only thing that went a little too far. Overall, worth reading.

Summary: absolutely mezmorizing
Review: This is one of the best Sandra Brown books that i have read (and believe me, i've read them all). You get caught up by the story on the first page and you can't put it down. I am a huge Sandra Brown follower and can hardly wait for her next book to come out. If you're looking for a deeply moving book with suspense and intrigue this is the one

Summary: This is one of her best books and my favorite!
Review: This was one of Sandra Brown's best! The story line was excellent and the characters of Trevor and Kyla became almost real to me. Trevor is the kind of man that every woman dreams about. Trevor has in his possession all of Kyla's letters that she had written to her dead husband. He had been stationed with her husband and had been sent these letters along with his other belongings. While healing from very serious wounds in the hospital, her letters give him the will to live. He would read them over and over until he had them memorized word for word. He falls in love with Kyla through these letters and how he arranges to meet Kyla after he is released from the hospital is one of the best story lines that I have ever read. It is worth adding to your book collection.

Summary: Much Better Than Expected
Review: When reading the summary of the story, I thought that the book would be boring and kind of cheesy. I bought the book just seeing the name Sandra Brown on it, so it was months after I bought it that I actually read it. I was very wrong. Somehow Sandra Brown pulled it off! Yes, Trevor started to fall in love with the letters, but it was Kyla and her son that won him over and made him persue her through her (yes, a bit annoying) refusals to cheat on her dead husband. Though in reading the book, I was inclined to yell orders at Kyla for her behavior, but it was understandable of her. All in all, it is a sweet romance, a good read to escape for a while, and relax and loose yourself in the story.
