I've got to say I enjoyed this title much more than I thought I was going to based on the blurb. It's a pretty common story, hubby dies, best friend steps in and nature takes its course. What set this book apart from the same-old-same-old was the presentation of the story. 
 Corinne Michaels does a great job of exploring the emotions of these two main characters, and keeps things tight and moving along. I believed the progression of the relationship between Natalie and Liam and there's an ending that left me thinking of so many possibilities for what might happen next. 
 It's difficult to talk about this book though without revealing some of the juicy details, so I won't spoil it. I loved Liam and Natalie and I'm looking forward to reading Conviction, the next book in the series to see what happens to them. 
 If you are looking for a military-themed romance with a nice dose of drama and little suspense, you might like Consolation. I did.
