Sherryl D. Hancock

Skyler Boche survived the war, as well as a horrific crash. Every day she deals with the aftermath and the crippling PTSD that's tearing her apart. Devin James is a wild child and drawn to Skyler in a way she can't explain. Through all the love, loss, and heartache, she'll find that when angels fall, they sometimes need help to get back up.

I usually only give a one-star rating when I DNF a book, but I can't bring myself to give this two stars. Nothing really happens. The two mains basically meet for the first time, and the next day they're practically living together. Skylar's PTSD is used as a plot device which I absolutely hate. And don't even get me started on the epilogue.

This is the first in a pretty long series (14 books so far). Each appears to be a standalone inasmuch as each features a new couple - I suspect former characters pop up. Being OCD, I started with book 1. BTW ... for those who had the same head scratching moment ... WeHo is West Hollywood (where I guess every book is set?). Yeah - I had to google it. 

A pretty quick read that features the developing relationship between Skyler, an air rescue helicopter pilot who's dealing with PTSD and trying to come to grips with the death of two of her crew members in Afghanistan, and Devin, a highly paid computer specialist. Thinking back - this was pretty much Skyler's story. Devin was not as well developed and had very little backstory reveal despite the fact that she kind of had a kick ass job (hacker extro-ardinare, working for the LAPD). 

A light romance with very little sex - they have sex, but not on the page. Other than the drama of dealing with Skyler's PTSD, there is very little going on - the focus is on the relationship and there aren't many angsty hurdles. Since it was so focused on the characters, I would have liked to see more development - there was a fair bit of tell rather than show. 

I'm going to try a few more as the series tends to get rave reviews and see if I get pulled in as well. 

These are available through Kindle Unlimited, so there's no buyers remorse if you give it a try.
