Blurb:

The only two survivors of a helicopter crash on Pakistani soil, Lieutenant Commander Jason “Casanova” Vanderby and Petty Officer Shane “Mad Dog” Madden barely escape the smoking wreckage of their helo and hike to a nearby aid station for help. The head doctor, Farrin Barr, has recently evacuated all staff from the facility, leaving her alone to deal with the two military men…and the terrorist horde hunting them.

Chased across northern Pakistan in a race for their lives, Jason and Farrin end up running from their own personal demons as much as from the enemy pursuing them. For Jason, being around his childhood friend, Shane, awakens unwelcome memories of an abusive past, while Farrin is haunted by a decision she made that forever changed her life.

In the midst of the chaos, both mental and physical, no one is more surprised by the attraction forming between Jason and Farrin than they are. Both have lived their lives closed off to relationships, unable to let go of the memories that haunt them. But just when they find the courage to move forward together, people from both of their pasts come back and threaten to destroy the new foundations of their love.

Content guidelines: Contains profanity and adult situations. Sensitive readers might find a scene depicting the death of a pet upsetting. This is a standalone novel.

Review:                                  5 stars

Not 100% sure what I thought this would be, but it certainly surprised me from the first page to the last one.
Two survivors of a helicopter crash on Pakistani soil, Lieutenant Commander Jason “Casanova” Vanderby and Petty Officer Shane “Mad Dog” Madden barely escape the smoking wreckage of their helo and hike to a nearby aid station for help. The help they find is a Doctor Farrin Barr who just evacuated the staff and now has to deal with Jason and Shane, and lets not forget the terrorist who are hunting them down..
As they are chased across Pakistan in a race to save their lives, both Jason and Farrin are running from their own demons. For Jason being around Shane awaken memories of an abusive past, while Farrin is haunted by a decision she made that will forever change her life.
Amidst all of this they are both surprised by the attraction that is forming between then. Will these two be able to put their past behind them and enjoy the love that has blossomed between them.
