Army captain Sal Bello doesn’t know how to be around people - he’s spent his life being a soldier and that’s all he wants to do. He’s never been in love and he doesn’t understand what it does to the men around him, struggling to hold their marriages together. For Sal, the rules are a comfort, a way to live life without the messiness of emotions that tend to get out of control.
First Sergeant Holly Washington has been spent her life around men like Sal Bello and she knows exactly how to get around his focus on the rules. She knows first hand that sometimes doing the right thing involves breaking the rules. She’s not interested in the stoic, grumpy officer who never seems to smile but something about him captures her curiosity. Beneath the grumpy exterior, she sees a hint of a man shaped by a crushing loneliness that even he may not realize he carries within him and she is determined to make him laugh.
When work throws them together in an impossible situation, Sal is forced to make a choice: break the rules with this forbidden romance or risk losing his last chance at love…and finding a home.
**Previously published as Find My Way Home and Forged in Fire as part of the Homefront Series. It has been republished as part of the Coming Home series as originally intended**
"The sparks of attraction lead Ben and Olivia into distinctly unprofessional situations, while Olivia has to navigate the scars of her own past…a pleasant and gratifying read." ~Publishers Weekly
Customer Reviews
What a FANTASTIC read!!
You will fall in Love with Holly & Sal. In fact you will love the whole series. It seems to be a continuation from the Coming Home series but all the books can be read as stand alone books. But take my advice and read both the Coming Home and the Homefront series. You won't be disappointed. It's one of my all-time top ten series reads. This author tells it like it is and makes it all to real. You won't be able to put this book down. I was given this book for an honest review.!
Holly - Favorite Heroine!
Holly is, by far, my favorite Jessica Scott heroine! I'm sure it's her sarcastic nature and her tough exterior that draws me the most. Sal Bello is the perfect counter part for Holly Washington. He seems set in his ways, but finds that he can learn a lot from Holly's ability to see things that Sal hasn't let himself see, within his troops and within himself.
I always love Jessica Scott's telling of things I really know nothing about. The war and the things military people have to deal with on a daily basis in their lives. It is eye opening to me and I honestly love the candor in which she shares the things I know she has seen and lived.
But, I don't want to forget the "romance" part of this book! She never lets me down on that aspect! The love is great and sex is hot! Love this book and this series!
Forged in Fire.....
Captain Sal Bello, commander of Diablo Company was having a bad day, actually a lot of bad days. He was tired of meaningless meetings, red tape and dealing with troublemakers. He was a warrior, he wanted to train his men for important things ......like war. His First Sergeant Delgado was starting to get on his nerves, almost undermining him on occasion. Plus, a Senior First Sergeant name Holly Washington was new at Ft. Hood and confusing him. She was brash, independent and sarcastic and he was very attracted to her.
Holly Washington loves being a soldier. Despite surviving a personal tragedy, and a hit to her career she has carried on. Capt. Bello was big, hard and very attractive, not to mention a little surly. He made her feel things she hadn't felt, or wanted to feel for a long time. After rescuing her a couple times from a fist in the face, he wondered what her agenda was. She went into confrontations full force and refused to back off because she was female. Their dealing with two sets of issues, readying the men for deployment and trying to deal with the issues of the men who have returned home.
This is the third book in Ms. Scott's Homefront Series. It is equally eye-opening and compelling as the first two. If you enjoy reading military suspense with some hot romance I recommend these books very highly.
I received this book from the publisher for an honest review.
