Love is a battlefield.

Discharged under Don't Ask Don't Tell, former Marine major Cole Hammond is struggling to find a new identity. But PTSD casts a pall on everything, and his hard-nosed, homophobic father can't even bear to look him in the eye. To top it all off, he's pretty sure he's flunking out of law school.

Marc Sullivan is a kind, sensitive romance author-slash-waiter with a thing for men in uniform. Cole's not wearing his anymore, but there's no mistaking the warrior Marc meets in the diner one rainy afternoon. Cole's sexy smile and Carolina drawl prove irresistible, but Marc's played this game before, and he always loses. Once a Marine, always a Marine, and if there's one thing Marc knows about such men, it's that they all leave him in the end. It doesn't help that Cole's practically closeted in public, or that he refuses to seek treatment for his PTSD.

But like any good Marine, Cole's willing to fight for what matters. And like the characters in Marc's stories, he's certain that if they try just hard enough, together they can find their own happily ever after.

Marc waits tables at a diner to supplement his income as a writer. But his quiet life is changed when Cole, an ex-Marine-turned-law-student, comes in for a meal. Marc has always had a bit of a soft spot for Marines and Cole is no exception. Though they hit it off, things are a bit difficult for Cole who was discharged under "Don't Ask Don't Tell" and isn't used to being open about his feelings. Add to that Marc's history with Marine boyfriends who always seemed to let him down, and there are more than enough complications for these two to try to overcome on their way to romance.

This was a cute story overall. The chemistry between these two is palpable (as is the frustration every time they seem to get in their own way) and the plot is realistic and easy to follow. I've seen many other reviews start off indicating this is a story about Cole who meets Marc, which is interesting to me considering that it's Marc whose perspective we get in first-person. But I think that's because we see more of Cole's turmoil and it makes it easier to connect to and understand him.

I was a bit thrown by the author's choice to write some chapters and scenes in first-person from Marc's POV and others in third-person focusing on Cole. I understand that when Marc wasn't present, it makes it difficult to tell Cole's story if Marc is the one who needs to tell it, but sometimes the shift was abrupt and slightly confusing. Still a very enjoyable story, though. ( )

It was a good book, but the characters were a bit too wishy-washy for my liking. The MC's went back and forth too much with do I want to be with him or not. I liked the brief mentions of PTSD treatment, and I liked the DADT story line. ( )
