AfterWar_live Excerpt: “I’m sorry you have to go through this alone.” “Thank you for saying that.” She blinked quickly, and she heard a rustle of blankets. Her mind detoured into a very unprofessional space. “Did you just get into bed?” He laughed quietly. “Yeah. Are you?” “Yeah.” There was something illicit in that simple agreement. Illicit and enticing all at once. “So we’re in bed together?” “Ha ha ha.” She cleared her throat, though, as a fresh heat traced over her skin, warm and needy. “Tell me more about Kearney.” “Damn, and here I thought you were going to ask me what I was wearing to bed.” She hesitated. Only for a moment, not giving herself time to talk herself out of her next words. “What are you wearing to bed?” A silence that let her mind wander. “Sweats.” He paused. When he spoke, his voice was husky and thick. “Tell me what you’re wearing.” “Yoga pants and a T-shirt,” she said softly, her cheeks turning hot. Was she really having this conversation? “Sarah?” “Yeah?” “This doesn’t feel wrong to me. I just wanted you to know that.”

My Review: 




I have to admit I am in love with Sarah and Sean. They may be my favorite book couple. I appreciated how real and honest their struggles were. Sarah had so much that could have dragged her down but she kept going for her daughter and the honor of her husband's memory. She is doing everything she can to balance her military career and being the best mother to her daughter, Anna. Oh my how I loved Anna she was so wise beyond her years. 
Sean is loyal and supportive of those around him, way beyond anything required. He carried so much back with him from all his tours of duty. Sean not only feels responsible for his decisions but also those of his men. He is such an honorable and solid man but does not see it. 
Sarah and Sean have a lot of things to work through between work issues and their past relationship. I sat  down and read the whole book straight through because I just had to see how things would work out. I loved this story and can not wait to read more from Jessica Scott. 
I highly recommend the Homefront series.

    I prefer a good book, over a good night's sleep. If I don't have my kindle on me when I leave the house, hell must have frozen over. This blog is my opportunity to share what makes me laugh, cry, and hate that a book has ended.
