A Lover's Lament by B.T. Urruela, K.L. Grayson
4.0
Damn, I've just dried my tears. That damn epilogue!
This book made me smile, laugh, swoon and cry. I felt some of the things and events played out in the story right in my soul. They reached to me. I think it was a good book, with two strong POV's of the two main characters. And some funny and interesting secondary characters, I really wish to get to know Maggie some more.
The female lead character, Katie, didn't charmed me enough though she was strong, and beautiful in her own way, but it took me a few chapters to warm to her. The male character, Devin, was a good one, I liked him, and I kept picturing him as BT Urruela...Yummy!
I confess I didn't like the parts where he talked about war, and narrated events related to missions, they kind of bore me and I confess I just passed through those paragraphs. This because, one: I didn't get all the military slang thrown there and; two: I'm not from the U.SAnd please don't call U.S people Americans, because I'm from Chile, in South America, and that makes me American too, in case some of you didn't know. so I don't necessarily understand the need of this war that has lasted so many damn years. And I know that's a really complex and touchy subject to approach in a book review, but I had to be honest. I'm all for a sexy military man, because damn! they're hot and they're interesting in what they have to tell and show. But in my country the military man are not hot nor so interesting, and they mean something much more complex because of political reasons that I will not explain here. But the point is that the strategical and military slang or missions bored me, so that's why I'm not giving it a 5 stars and because it took me a while to like Katie.
Taking all of that out, I liked this book very much, it kept me interested from beginning to end. And I am so glad it had a HEA, after all the struggle, and pain and that damn epilogue... I needed the last pages to put myself together, so Thank You, authors!
