She has to break through her writer’s block and start her next book.Medically discharged from the service and suffering from PTSD, Carter Montgomery is still trying to get his life back in order… When Carter’s father Jackson suggests a week at the lake, it’s not only so he can gain a little clarity about his future. Jackson has other plans for his recovering son, intending for him to watch over his best friend’s daughter while she’s on a solo writing retreat—an idea that doesn’t please Carter at all.Patty finds it hard to get any work done when her attention keeps diverting to the handsome stranger next door…Patty is persuaded to attend a charity event, despite knowing her ex will be in attendance. When Ben rudely interrupts Patty’s dance with her father and drags her off the floor, Carter is quick to intervene. He’s tired of admiring Patty from afar, and refuses to see her treated that way. Ready to ditch the stuffy event, Patty escapes with her savior someplace where they can finally talk. Ben always gets what he wants, and he isn’t willing to let Patty slip away…Patty fights to preserve her blooming relationship with Carter from the critical eyes of her mother and the scheming ways of her ex. Will Carter manage to get his life back in order in time to save Patty from the life she never wanted?

 

Review : As soon as I read the blurb of “Saved by a Soldier” (Love Conquers Life #1) by Alison Mello I knew I had to read the book.

 

Starting a book by a new (to me) author is always fun. Because I love to explore how different authors approach a similar setting.

 

I love military romance novels, therefore I have read my fair share of books with characters that suffer from PTSD and I like how Carter is developed so far.

 

Patty is also an interesting character (again so far).

 

I like how the plot is developing and I believe the readers will be in for quite a few “surprises” with the secondary characters.

 

If you would ask me about what I disliked about this book it would be mostly … that I have to wait for the next part because this story isn’t over yet. And I am a very impatient reader.

 

From what I learned from the author – the story of this couple will be complete with the third book in this series – so my final review on the complete story will come as soon as I read the third book.

 

So far I like what I see
