I'm so glad I picked up this suspenseful story, regardless of the fact the cover doesn't match the story. What did Shakespeare say about a rose? The same could be said here for this cover. I found the hero and heroine realistic and compelling and their angsts very touching. Joel Logan finds a woman who'd been adopted years before but knows what he says could destroy all she holds dear. Riane Quinlan is a heart-warming character. I've known women who were adopted out and this one touched my heart.

I really enjoyed this book. Both the hero and heroine were likeable and great characters. The main thing that stopped me from thoroughly enjoying this book was the cover. Why? Because the story line had NOTHING to do with the military yet both characters on the front of the book were wearing military uniforms. Sure, it's just a cover, but many people by a book because of its cover. This shows me that whoever did the cover work obviously didn't read the book.

It was the cover that made me buy the book. And I kept waitiing for the military to arrive. It was distracting. How the heck do they pick these covers anyways. This bring a whole new meaning to "Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover"! The story was OK, just not the military romance I was counting on.
