Thanks so much to gcrpromotions for letting me be a host for Jasinda Wilder’s Tour of Wounded.
Love and War!
Blurb:
War has taken everything from me. My family. My home. My innocence. In a country blasted by war and wracked by economic hardship, a young orphan girl like me has very few options when it comes to survival. Thus, I do what I must to live, to eat, and I try very hard to not consider the cost to my soul. My heart is empty, and my existence brutal.
The one impossibility in my life is love.
And then I meet HIM.
War is hell. It takes a chunk out of a man’s very soul to do the kinds of things war demands of you. You live with fear, you live with guilt, and you live with nightmares. If you haven’t been through it, there’s no understanding it. War leaves no room for love, no room for tenderness or softness. You gotta be hard, closed off, and ready to fight every moment of every day. Lose focus for a split second, and you’re dead.
Now the only thing that can save me is HER.
My review
I wasn’t sure about this book. The location it takes place in and the events ongoing there now touch very close to home.
I’m glad I read it. Once I started, I quickly became lost in the stories of Rania and Hunter and this book became what it was intended. A wonderful work of fiction.
She’s never had much and now she has nothing. Rania is alone and starving. Her little brother ran away to join the soldiers and kill Americans. Her home is nothing but rubble. There is no work. She has to stoop to the age old profession in order to have money for food and basic needs. May Allah forgive her.
Hunter has nobody to go home to and nothing to lose. The Marine Corps has been his life for so long, he wouldn’t know what to do with himself back home. He’s beginning to burn out and can no longer see the point in all of this. With every step he takes, he waits for the smack of a bullet. He’s been lucky so far, but that can’t last forever.
Tragedy brings these two lost souls together and war turns them to each other.
All is fair in love and war.
Now they just have to hold on tight.
Being told from Rania’s and Hunter’s points of view really worked for me. I was able to form a lasting attachment to each character and came to care deeply for them. I was wringing my hands, hoping for the best, but somewhat prepared for the worst.
When I thought of their situation and the adversity they faced for their love, I thought of that saying, “The heart wants what the heart wants.”
A gripping, exciting and very satisfying story.
