In the Moment

This is a very good story about a photojournalist who lost his best friend in Afghanistan, War touches us in many ways as the author shows here you don’t have to be a solider to be a big loser when it comes to war. It is very heartbreaking to lose one of our own who servers and protects but we forget there are others who serve as well to bring us the amazing pictures and stories so we can better understand the true issues. I thought the author did a great job showing how it affect a normal person, the lose is great the feelings run deep when you feel you are to blame for the lost of so many. She intertwines this into a touching read of Rayne turning against his profession to move around never staying in one place for too long as he works to his goal of keeping a promise to the man he feels he killed. Cassie has great memories of a home where she was happy, she decides to buy it and fix it up. She hires Rayne to help her. She is a nice lady very independent just has a little chip on her shoulder being in foster care can do that to someone. I thought both characters are likable as they work to putting their lives back on track. I really liked the small town, I was raised in one and there is nothing like it. Victorian home and the way the author writes about it, is just lovely. I like the mystery she added to the story. However I thought some things were left out and at other times to much information was given or was just not needed. The romance was delightful, the buildup of the relationship was very pleasant as well as the scenes. All in all this was a fun read that I did enjoy and look forward to reading more from this author.
