Publisher Description
"There is not a doubt in my mind that this book will be one of the top books of 2018 for me.” —5 stars, Julie from Hey Girl HEA
The most brazen terrorist attack in history. A country bent on revenge. A love affair cut short. A heart that never truly heals.
I knew on the day of the attack that our lives were changed forever. What I didn’t know then was that I’d never see John again after he deployed. One day he was living with me, sleeping next to me, making plans with me. The next day he was gone.
That was five years ago. The world has moved on from that awful day, but I’m stuck in my own personal hell, waiting for a man who may be dead for all I know. At my sister’s wedding, I meet Eric, the brother of the groom, and my heart comes alive once again.
The world is riveted by the capture of the terrorist mastermind, brought down by U.S. Special Forces in a daring raid. Now I am trapped between hoping I’ll hear from John and fearing what’ll become of my new life with Eric if I do.
From a New York Times bestselling author, Five Years Gone, a standalone contemporary, is an epic story of love, honor, duty, unbearable choices and impossible dilemmas.

Shattered - a brilliant read
Five Years Gone is the latest stand alone novel by Marie Force and may I say what an amazing book it was to read. This is the beautifully written story of Ava Lucas and John West which had me in tears on numerous occasions.
I am not sure how to write this review. Once in a while a book comes along that blows your mind, during and after you have finished it. Five Years Gone is one of those books for me that absolutely captivated me from the first chapter to the last (and oh what a last chapter).
Ava knows that being with John is a risk, (after all he is military and he may be gone at a moments notice for parts unknown with little or no contact) but it is a risk she is willing to take, that is until the day it happens.
When John is deployed, neither know whether it will be years, or if ever till, they meet again. After no contact for five years, Ava realises she must move on, but can she? Will she ever get over not knowing what happened or if John is even alive?
When she meets Eric Tilden at her sister’s wedding Ava slowly begins to “come back to life”. Is Eric the man who can be there and support her and love her? Can Ava come to terms with a life without John and move forward with Eric?
This book was such an emotional roller coaster of a read that it had my head and heart spinning in a variety of directions. In truth, at times I was scared where the story would lead but as Ms.Force is a master story teller I knew that my ride would eventually slow down.
There is life after tragedy, that is the message throughout Five Years Gone, it is a story of sacrifice, of courage, of love, of devotion, of determination to overcome what life throws in your path
Marie Force managed to shatter my heart and mend it whilst reading Five Years Gone. One click this book and be prepared for the ride of your life.
