"...A poignant, wonderful read. I was pleasantly surprised at the final chapters. Jeb is a wonderful hero and I can see his character come alive when thinking about soldiers fighting today. Trudy goes through what I am sure most military wives go through when their loved ones are deployed. Her character is strong and would make most generals proud. I enjoyed [this story] very much and look forward to reading more from Adrianna Dane."--Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed.com
"5 Cups!...An incredible book. Written in an insightful and touching way, it gives those of us who do not have loved ones in the military a look at how life is for those who do. I also found it refreshing that the couple in the story were very happily married and desperately in love with one another. Trudy and Jebediah are just an average ordinary couple holding it together through extraordinary circumstances. In my opinion, anyone who loves a true love story will enjoy this book."--Meme, Coffee Time Romance
"4 Stars!...Excellent!...Kicks off with great excitement and passion from the start and the sizzling sexual encounters between Trudy and Jeb are hot. The storyline captures your attention from the beginning, and has you turning pages faster as the intensity builds...This is a definite page turner and the climatic ending will not disappoint."--Pat, May Reviews
"4.5 Stars!...Rated 'O' for 'Orgasmic'!...Somebody please break off a piece of Jeb Holliday and drop it into some water so I can grow one of these, myself. Strong, honest, loyal, not to mention yummily sexy. No wonder Trudy loves him...torrid sex in the backseat of his Thunderbird—not to mention the front seat and their shower at home—gives Trudy a year's worth of memories...And talk about sweaty, sizzling, howl-at-the moon sex? This couple has that, and more. In [less than one] hundred pages, Ms. Dane has created a dedicated and loving couple whose affection, respect and trust for each other has formed a union most of us can envy. Please, Ms. Dane—more, more and more of Trudy and Jeb."--P. Grant, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
"5 Hearts!...Adrianna Dane creates a wonderful story of two people meeting for the very first time and it is love at first sight. I was deeply moved by reading this book and I found myself urging Trudy on as she struggled with day to day routines on an Army base and I cried with her as the Army Chaplain knocked on her door. The book is very realistic and a definite keeper!"--Linda B., The Romance Studio
"5 Angels!...Adrianna Dane accurately captures the essence of the military life and does so with skill. The sexual encounters are satisfying and show the connection between Trudy and Jeb...Adrianna Dane creates multifaceted, in-depth characters with whom the reader can identify."--Tracey, Fallen Angel Reviews
“Oh, Jeb,” she breathed against his wet neck. “I don’t want this to end. Not yet.” She nibbled at his ear.
“Remember me, baby. Remember this. Don’t forget.”
There was tense yearning to his voice. She cupped his face and looked him straight in the eye. “Jebediah Holliday, you promise me.”
He brushed her damp hair away from her face. “What, darlin’?”
She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold back the tears. She swallowed hard. “You promise me you’re coming home to me. Promise me. You say it.”
“Trudy, don’t do this. You know I’m coming home. We’ll be fine.”
“Dammit. I want you to promise me. I want to hear you say it. You never break your promises. Never.” She heard the quaver in her voice, hated herself for being weak, not staying strong.
The other times he’d left had been different somehow. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Maybe it was the length of time he’d be gone this time, but it was something she couldn’t identify. And she didn’t like the feeling.
He stroked her back. “Tru, I promise, okay? I promise you, I’ll come back.”
