In the Stillness - Andrea Randall (2013)
Natalie is a mother of twin four-year-old boys and a stay-at-home mother. Ten years ago she lost two of the people she cared for and loved most in the world - her boyfriend's friend Lucas to death and her boyfriend Ryker to post-traumatic stress disorder. Both guys were in the National Guard and sent to Afghanistan. The past few months have been difficult for Natalie and she has reacted by cutting herself - will she this time around reach out to her best friend Tosha for help? As Natalie realises she has only ever loved one man - Ryker - a chance meeting brings them together again. It also brings up a bucketload of painful memories. Will Natalie receive a second chance at love and life with Ryker or will the thought of having an instant family scare him off? In the Stillness is a wonderful read and it really gives the readers an insight on what it is like to be in love with a military person. (PP)
