The eternal bachelor finally finds his match—if he can get her attention...

After her fiancé dies in her arms in Afghanistan, combat nurse Kim Torres decides to get as far away from men and the war as she can. Now a nanny to a little girl, she’s trying to date again, but her heart just isn’t in it. Not even for a man as sexy as Owen Kent...

When Major Owen Kent returns from his deployment with the Marines in Afghanistan, he discovers how much things have really changed. The billionaire CIO’s friends are settling down and having families—things a serial dater like Owen doesn’t expect to do. But he’s also not expecting his friend Harper’s new nanny to be the woman who stole his heart half a world away. Kim may want nothing to do with Owen, but he’s not about to surrender without a fight.

Oh. My. God.

That's what went through my mind as I finished this book.

Oh. My. God.

And not in a bad oh-my-god way. In a very, very, very good oh-my-god way.

It was amazing. And that's just one of the superlatives that are still running through my mind.

A wonderful, bitter-sweet, stunning, poignant love story, a story of a wind opening a window after closing the door, a story of how Fate always knows what she's doing...Am I even making sense?

The story, narration flowed faultlessly, there wasn't a slow or boring moment. I loved the voice, I loved the story-building, the characterization was spot-on, the supporting cast was just perfect, the two main leads were wonderful. Even the miscommunication and misunderstandings between them were dealt with quickly and efficiently without dragging on for too long, the ending was bittersweet, but it fit with the overall story...Everything flowed together perfectly and seamlessly, I have absolutely no complaints. Whatsoever.

I. Loved. It.
