Twenty-five-year-old Sgt. Gray Phillips is at a crossroads in his life: stay in the Marine Corps or get out and learn to be a civilian? He’s got forty-five days of leave to make up his mind but the people in his life aren’t making the decision any easier. His dad wants him to get out; his grandfather wants him to stay in. And his growing feelings for Sam Anderson are wreaking havoc with his heart…and his mind. He believes relationships get ruined when a Marine goes on deployment. So now he’s got an even harder decision to make: take a chance on Sam or leave love behind and give his all to the Marines.
Twenty-two year old Samantha Anderson lost her husband to an IED in Afghanistan just two months after their vows. Two years later, Sam is full of regrets—that she didn't move with her husband to Alaska; that she allowed her friends to drift away; that she hasn't taken many chances in life. Now, she's met Gray and taking a risk on this Marine could be her one opportunity to feel alive and in love again. But how can she risk her heart on another military man who could share the same tragic fate as her husband?

4 Stars
Have you ever been afraid to do something because you know what will happen? Or at least you think you know what will happen. Being afraid to take a chance because you're scared history will repeat itself. That's a lot of what this book is about. This is the third installment of The Woodlands series, but can be read as a stand alone. We are first introduced to Gray in Unspoken, but weren't really told very much about him, so I was VERY excited to get to read his story.
Gray is on leave from the Marines and is visiting his friends. This isn't just a fun, relaxing time for him though because he has a very difficult decision to make. Does he stay in the Marines or does he get out. He's suppose to be spending this time deciding what he wants to do, but instead, finds himself captivated by Samantha. Samantha has had a tough time lately. She is the young widow of a military man, the last thing she wants is to be involved with another one. They both bring a lot of baggage to the table, but they can't overcome the pull that they feel towards each other. Can they overcome the reservations they both have? I'm not telling, you'll just have to read the book to find out :) Hehe!
I enjoyed this book very much! I loved seeing each of the characters grow not only as a couple, but as individuals. The dialog was engaging, the plot riveting, and let me just tell you, the sexual tension was HOT! Can't wait for the next book, because you don't just fall in love with the main characters, you fall in love with ALL of the characters and want to know what happens to them too! Wonderful book :) ~Lauren

For four years, Grace Sullivan wrote to a Marine she never met, and fell in love. But when his deployment ended, so did the letters. Ever since that day, Grace has been coasting, academically and emotionally. The one thing she’s decided? No way is Noah Jackson — or any man — ever going to break her heart again.
Noah has always known exactly what he wants out of life. Success. Stability. Control. That’s why he joined the Marines and that’s why he’s fighting his way — literally — through college. Now that he’s got the rest of his life on track, he has one last conquest: Grace Sullivan. But since he was the one who stopped writing, he knows that winning her back will be his biggest battle yet.

Whore. Slut. Typhoid Mary.
I've been called all these at Central College. One drunken night, one act of irresponsible behavior, and my reputation was ruined. Guys labeled me as easy and girls shied away. To cope, I stayed away from Central social life and away from Central men, so why is it that my new biology lab partner is so irresistible to me?
He's everything I shouldn't want. A former Marine involved in illegal fighting with a quick trigger temper and an easy smile for all the women. His fists aren't the danger to me, though, it's his charm. He's sliding his way into my heart and I'm afraid that he's going to be the one to break me.
Impulsive. Unthinking. Hot tempered.
I allow instinct to rule my behavior. If it feels good, do it, has been my motto because if I spend too much time thinking, I'll begin to remember exactly where I came from. At Central College, I've got fighting and I've got women and I thought I was satisfied until I met her.
She's everything I didn't realize I wanted and the more time I spend with her, the more I want her. But she's been hurt too much in the past and I don't want to be the one to break her. I know I should walk away, but I just can't.
