Saving Each Other
If you’ve read any of Juliana Conner’s books before then you may have ‘met’ the Bradford Brothers. They are all ex-military and each has their own story to tell and I fully encourage you to read them if you haven’t already [have a look at my other reviews on her books]. In this story we meet Juliet and Brandon. he is ex-Military and worked with some of the Bradford brothers. he suffered from PTSD when he was demobbed and so he ,moved to the mountains for solitude to help him heal. He is living in his family cabin now and is chopping wood one day when he sees a bedraggled female looking very dishevelled as if she is going to jump off the cliff. he races too her as quietly as he can to save her from falling. He does and she fights him but he calms her down and takes her to his cabin as it’s nearing darkness and too far out of the way. He doesn’t get much sense out of her other than her name is Juliet. This is a very emotional story of someone, not military, who suffered an ordeal so great that she too is suffering from PTSD. This story helps illustrate that anyone can suffer from it and displays some of the ways that it can manifest itself in a person as we are all different. Brandon is such a great guy who has suffered so much himself but, because of that, he is able to help Juliet so much and be so understanding towards her. The passion between these two is palpable and way off the charts with red hot HEAT – have your fans/air con switched on to max cool please! You may need your hankies ready at some parts of the story. I particularly enjoyed the moving scene towards the end when Brandon gives his first public talk for his friends. As he gazes at Juliet sitting there, it is magical the way Juliana uses the English language to create such emotions, atmosphere and tension. What has caused Juliet to suffer from PTSD and will she share her nightmares with Brandon? To enjoy this book for yourselves you need to get yourself a copy. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED
