 4.5 stars 
 I wasn't sure what to expect from A Lover's Lament, I have never read KL Grayson before and while I've followed BT Urruela's fitness and modeling career I wasn't aware he was an author, but after reading this book I look forward to reading more from both authors. This was not a pretty romance; this book deals with heart break, death, anger, war, forgiveness, anger, sadness and a forever kind of love we all hope to find. I loved this story and it was brilliantly written; told in first person from two points of view we were given a window into the lives, thoughts and emotional trauma each of these characters experienced throughout this book. 
 A short prologue sets up this book and then it really begins 10 years after with Katie waking up after a car accident. She is not in a good place and for several chapters we see her struggling with life and her "new" normal. When her therapist suggests she should engage with a military pen pal she finds a familiar name on the list and decides to lay it all out on the line and unleash all of her pain. She never expects to feel so much as she writes the first letter or how much Devin's response affects her. 
 I loved reading their letters to each other which progressed into emails and eventually into phone calls. Ten years after Devin left; it is easy to tell from the correspondence that they both were unable to erase the other one completely from their memory and the feelings pour through their words to one another. 
 Watching Katie go from a very angry and closed off woman to one who wants more out of life, one that is actually living again and one that will even admit she is happy was pretty amazing to watch. I'll admit reading Devin's war accounts and the toll it was taking on him and his fellow soldiers was hard, but I felt very realistic. As they both being to realize that the feelings they once had were still there; they fell hard and fast and came to rely on the communication they both so desperately needed to stay connected so far away from one another. 
 They faced some very hard times both apart and together and through it all their love remained strong, they both believed they had some divine intervention and they never lost hope that they would finally get their chance to have the life they both wanted together. 
 A Lover's Lament will touch your soul and you will feel every emotion as you read this couple's intense and beautiful journey and it is absolutely a book you do not want to miss.
