BLURB
One year ago, the boy next door was captured as a prisoner of war.
The boy whose window faces mine.
The backyard buddy who bandaged up my skinned knees.
The childhood crush that kept me up at night, wondering if he’d ever be my boyfriend.
The town hero I wrote endless letters to after he shipped out.
The green-eyed charmer who promised me a kiss the day I turned eighteen.
And now, he’s home.
But he didn’t come back as the boy I once knew.
He’s a man now, one with demons I can’t comprehend.
The damaged soldier keeps telling me I’m not his anymore.
That the war took him, turned him into someone unrecognizable.
What he hasn’t considered is that it took me, too.
He swears there is nothing left between us, that his heart died overseas. But with each look through our windows, we both know his lies are just that. With each fated meeting, the truth only becomes more evident.
Everett Brock occupies the shadows now.
And as much as I try to pull him into the light, it seems the switch is permanent.
What he doesn’t realize is that I’m willing to follow him into the darkness.
MY OPINION
Next Carrie's book behind me.
Next time I was in perfect world with broken heroes, which had my heart from the first page.
„Hometown Heartless” is yours next „must read” book!
This time we have a soldier here.
If you know, what I mean.
Everett Brock returned to home. But he is different than when he left the family and friends. Now, after everything what happend in his life, he is darker and foreign for his family.
All this time, when he was gone Kennedy was waiting for him. She promised to him, that all her firsts will be with Everett.
Now, when he finally came back everything's changed.
Dark memories in Everett mind can destroy all things, which he build before war.
„Hometown Heartless” is a next fantastic book written by Carrie Aarons.
I really like stories with millitary theme. Here, Everett is THIS GUY. Carrie Aarons didn't write sweet romance book. In „Hometown Heartless” the main hero has PTSD. It is a very difficult and tough subject.
But Carrie Aarons did the best with this story.
This story is a small town adventure. Carrie knows how to write stories like that and she do this perfect. Reading „Hometown Heartless” was a pleasure to me and I can't wait to read her next book.
