LA mia recensione ---> https://ilibridiclaudia.altervista.org/recensioni/la-guerra-del-cuore-di-heather-m-orgeron-kate-stewart/

[...]Esordisco subito dicendovi che se siete troppo sensibili, avete lo stomaco debole, La guerra del cuore non fa per voi.
Se i triangoli amorosi non vi piacciono, questo romanzo non fa per voi.

Heather M. Orgeron e Kate Stewart ci regalano un viaggio nella guerra, un viaggio verso l’inferno e un ritorno al paradiso alquanto travagliato e sofferto. Nulla sembra procedere per il verso giusto per i protagonisti e spesso vi troverete a chiedere a voi stesse “Cosa farei io al suo posto?”.[...]

Raw, heartbreak and real

This book was everything. So real and vivid and the characters make you live right along side them, enduring the pain, helplessness and longing they felt along the way. Three beautiful souls fighting for love, for life, for every breathe in this journey of devastating pain, the continuing journey of healing and the ultimate gift of forgiveness. Truly a masterpiece of fiction that conjured terrifyingly real images of the horrors of war, yet also granting us the gift that love is healing. I am speechless and in awe of these two authors, well done ladies. Thank you for sharing your words with the world.

I have so many conflicting feelings about this but I was sucked in and had to know how it ended.

Y’all, the feelings. So many feelings, holy shit.
The emotional rollercoaster this book took me on almost killed me and I’m basically a wreck right now.

The book starts with Katy saying her goodbyes to her husband and son as she leaves for her first tour in Iraq as an army medic. When she meets Briggs, a gorgeous infantryman on base, she has no idea what they will soon mean to each other and how quickly her entire universe can shift on its axis.
This story is about love and loss and heartache. Breaking down, trying to get back up only to breakdown again. It’s fucking painful y’all.
But it’s also about life and learning how to live again after unimaginable trauma and tragedy.

It had me all twisted up, genuinely unsure of what would happen in the end and how I would feel about it.
I was convinced I wanted one thing to happen and when it did it completely wrecked me.
But honestly, sometimes you just want a book to wreck you and this book delivers that before giving you that HEA.


As you can imagine this book could be seriously triggering so check triggers warnings and generally prepare to be emotional as fuck.

So much hope. So much hope!

I found this book after reading/listening to Kate Stewart's Ravenhood Trilogy. Looking at her catalog, I immediately knew that this was the book I needed to rip off the band-aid with next because I'm the spouse of a veteran. I knew this would strike several cords, and while it did, it left me feeling empty and not in a good way. While it did tackle the hardship PTSD can have on a relationship, I just felt the plot was lacking beyond that. I wanted more from the romance side of things, not even in the way of spice, just more in general.

This book wrecked me emotionally. Sometimes everything’s not just black and white. There’s this grey area and Heather & Kate explored this in such a thought provoking way.

It made me rethink my stance on certain things. Is there an exception to cheating? Is it wrong to fall out of love? Maybe not if it’s in exceptional circumstances such as this...

She wrote this story eloquently and beautifully realistic even with the horrifying details. Rest assured, I’ll be reading more of their books.
