Ο Μπίλυ και η Σάξον είναι ένα ζευγάρι που πασκίζει - όπως όλοι μας - ν' ανακαλύψει την δική του Εδέμ. While I have loved this entire series, this book is the best of the lot so far. Julia London has done an amazing job of describing the pain and torture PTSD can cause - not just to the soldier but to family and friends. Unlike the previous books, Jack takes place in Seattle. Jack has returned from Afghanistan with a wounded leg and PTSD. He goes into a panic at car horns, crowds,loud noises... Little by little these things have kept him trapped in his apartment. He sees very few people - Rain, his dog walker, Whitney his food delivery/ cooking service and Dr Pratt, his psychiatrist (even though he can only have appointments by Skype). Ms London goes into great detail about his condition, his panic attacks, his inability to go anywhere, even walking his dog is a major event. Whitney comes into his world and they form a friendship but she is disappointed when he fails to keep appointments to meet her. His shame about his condition has kept her in the dark. His struggles to overcome his condition to be worthy of Whitney's love is heart -warming and it makes their Happily Ever After all the happier. Julia London created a powerful tale of impactive characters. Jack is realistic, informative and inspirational entertainment. A smile goes a mile. Those words kept popping into my head throughout Jack and Whitney's intense relationship. Bruised by life and wounded by a traumatic event, Jack closes himself off from the rest of the world. It takes an optimistic baker and a persistent attraction to open his eyes and reawaken his heart. Jack takes on PTSD with a remarkable sensitivity that is enlightening, inspiring and full of hope. Empathy can move mountains, change lives and inspire faith. I read an ARC of this book from the Author in exchange for a fair review. Jack is the 5th book in the series 7 Brides for 7 Soldiers. Each book is written by a different author so I think you can read this book as a stand alone. Characters from the other books appear in this book and the premise of the series looks interesting so I do intend to read the rest of the series. The hero Jack has returned from 2 Tours of Afghanistan suffering from PTSD which began as panic attacks and has now morphed into full on Agoraphobia. He meets the heroine Whitney when she comes to his house to prepare the meals he orders from the company she works for Dinner Magic and she brings light and love into Jack’s increasingly narrow world. Whitney has dreams to open her own bakery but is afraid of failing and is feeling pressured from her very successful family. The story of how Jack and Whitney find their way to each other and through their problems is delightful and I do recommend reading this book. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Former Marine Jack Carter has left Afghanistan behind, but after a close encounter with a suicide bomber, he now battles a hidden enemy. Ashamed that he succumbs to heart-stopping panic attacks, he refuses to leave his house and makes excuses for failing to meet up with his best friends. He¿s got the perfect set up¿his job allows him to work from home, he hires out the dog walking and grocery shopping and he has subscribed to a meal delivery service that comes complete with a cook. Jack expected a lunch lady, but he gets Whitney. She¿s bubbly, she¿s way too chatty, and his dog loves her more than him. But he forgives her all of that because she¿s sexy as hell and a bright spot in an otherwise lonely day. Whitney Baldwin has been groomed to follow a long line of highly successful lawyers into an equally successful family law firm, but she¿d rather bake a cake than read a tort. Her dream is to open her own patisserie. To say her father is disappointed in her career path is an understatement¿if she can¿t pull this off, she¿ll have to head home with her tail between her legs. In a last bid to make her dream a reality Whitney accepts a job with Dinner Magic and lands an insanely handsome client in Jack Carter. His crazy good looks captivate her, but it's something about his hyper-awareness of her combined with a vulnerability that is an irresistible recipe. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
