    The best part of discovering a new author whose talents grip your attention immediately is sharing the good news with other readers In all my years of reading military romances, there has been only one other that moved me as much as this one did BECAUSE OF YOU is a beautifully written and poignant love story between two individuals, broken both in body and spirit It also honorably portrays the lives of the everyday heroes and heroines who serve in the military and gives them the credit they so d [...]

    Finished it This was a hard book to read, for me Need some time to consider what I actually thought about the story, and what rating I want to give it.10 21 12I think the only thing I would add is that I appreciate Jessica Scott s willingness to tell this story, of what it takes to go to war, live through war, and deal with the aftermath of war It s a reality that we should all be aware of, and it isn t prettied up for storytelling purposes here My personal feeling, for this genre, for me, there [...]

    Review posted at Demon Lover s Books and MoreI don t typically read contemporary romance or military romance former SEALs etc , for a few reasons The number one reason is that I tend to not want anything similar to my own life I love werewolves, Dukes, vampires, and Highlanders, you get the picture Military contemps tend to hit a little too close to home for me, so I usually avoid them like the plague The last thing I want to read about is a woman dealing with her man when he comes back from the [...]

    First of all I would like to state so that there is no misunderstanding Because of You is not a military romance, but a contemporary romance having military heroes heroines I warn you so you don t expect to read about thrilling and suspenseful war scenes, the novel mostly takes place in the US and is not about some suspenseful military action but the emotional healing of wounded soldiers and how they find their way to love.That said, I can now tell you what an amazing read Because of You was Jes [...]

    I heard so much buzz about this book that I had to try it and I do have mixed reactions about it It was authentic no doubt about it, the pain of coming back from war, the brutal recovery, physical as well as emotional scars but I don t know it was too heavy about everything and that is not a bad thing I guess, but I wasn t sure I was expecting that.The book starts with Shane finding out that his wife filed for divorce and he is relieved because he has always been good at one thing, taking care o [...]

    Edit Sept 2012 I didn t round up the stars like I ve been doing lately Rectifying that.4.5 stars rounded up to 5I am a part of the military community and a military spouse Therefore I will throw myself into any story involving military heroes, so this story was sure to capture my attention Some parts of this story hit close to home, which caused a major snot fest The characters are tough but tortured, brave but conflicted their struggles and their pain, both emotional and physical, are raw and h [...]
    Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
    Guilty Pleasures Recommended Read BECAUSE OF YOU is an emotional journey with ups, downs and humor I went into this thinking it was a romance about a soldier and a woman, but it s so much It s about a breast cancer survivor learning to feel like a WHOLE woman again and realizing she is worthy of a relationship, about a soldier feeling like he let his troops down, it s about the sacrifices soldiers and their families make, it s about the brotherhood that develops among Soldiers, about the poor l [...]

    First let me say that this was a well written book The characters, especially the supporting players, were likable and believable The storyline was compelling and emotional What wasn t working for me though was the actual romance Not enough of it The two main characters spend over half of the book apart, and instead we see Shane in the war zone We see him interacting with fellow wounded soldiers in the hospital We see our heroine going to lunch with her friends, consoling a friend whose marriage [...]

    There were several things that drew me to Because of You I love the big brooding hero, I love reading about characters that overcome huge obstacles and come out shiny on the other side The biggest thing that drew me to this book was the fact the the heroine was a breast cancer survivor Shane is a soldier to the bottom of his soul He is responsible for the men who are assigned to him and he takes that responsibility very seriously So when soldiers are injured in a bombing while on patrol, he feel [...]

    4 4.5 starsI really loved this highly emotional contemporary military romance novel The author did a great job with the military details she s a vet, so that s even awesome , as with the portrayal of the effects of war on both the soldiers and their families Some really important issues were visited in this book, including the high suicide rate amongst our veterans, and the stresses placed on marriages which lends to an increased divorce rate I really appreciated how bluntly and vividly Ms Scot [...]

    3.5 4 StarsI liked this story The characters, writing, and story were good.The lead female Jen kinda got on my nerves, and I had a hard time liking her.The lead male Shane was really well written.I really liked the Voice the Author gave to the injured soldiers returning home from combat, and the frustrations of their families while their loved ones were doing a tour and because of the cliffhanger the author left at the end of the story, I now HAVE to read the next story in the series

    The first book in Jessica Scott s Coming Home series Shane Garrison is a soldier and meets nurse, Jen St James, the night before he deploys to Iraq But he comes back wounded not long after Jen works at the military hospital where he is.What a heart wrenching story Being prior military myself I was able to relate to some degree but I had never been in combat I loved the characters for the most part Each had their flaws and issues but it wasn t too much of a downer My big gripe would be that this [...]

    Being in the military is all Shane knows It s all he has left after his sham of a marriage ends His men are the only family he has and the only people he cares about Except for a spunky nurse he meets the night before he deploys The memory of their kiss the light at the end of his tunnel When a bomb sends him back home he awakens to find himself immobile Struggling to come to grips with his limitations and the various setbacks that have occurred to him he is volatile, moody and sometimes violent [...]

    Because of you is about two souls finding each other learning to live with the damage that war has brought and also pain of different circumstances Learning to live, love and move on even though life has not dealt you the cards you wanted Learning to lean on others for help in your time of need and learning to move on no matter what life has dealt you.I m a little in the dark on the military sides of things, having no one close to me deployed or in the military scene I found that Jessica s descr [...]

    3.5 StarsThere was a lot of buzz about Because of You before it s release since it s the 1st new release of the revitalized Loveswept line and I was really looking forward to reading this I was a big fan of the Loveswept line of books back in the day and I m glad they re making a comeback.I found this book to be quite a heavy, angst filled book I personally wouldn t recommend reading it if you are looking for a light, fun filled story or if you are feeling even slightly depressed.There is some c [...]

    I have nothing to say except I wish I had read this as soon as I had downloaded it What an amazing, moving story.The writing was superb I felt every emotion the characters did It felt like I had gone to war, the battle scenes were so well written The struggles faced by the injured soldiers when they arrived home broke my heart Would it be strange if I just went and read this again now Maybe, but I will be re reading this one again and again My only complaint is that I wanted so much Jessica Sco [...]
