This review can also be found on my blog.

Caitlyn Harper has been best friends with Logan Sullivan since they were teenagers. She has had a major crush on him for years, but she was too afraid to do anything that could jeopardize their friendship. Now that he's finally returning home after being injured in Afghanistan, she realizes that life is too short to go on without telling him how she really feels.

This was a delightful, short read with no angst or drama, and just what I needed. Caitlyn knows what she wants and goes after it. I loved that she wasn't out to seduce him and "get in his pants" to garner his attention. She genuinely cared about him and made the effort to set up something sweet and romantic to show him he was loved. I also loved that Logan was open receiving and returning her feelings despite his trauma and his injuries. This story differed from others in the fact that he didn't have feelings of not being good enough for her or feeling like he needed to stay away from her because he wasn't "whole".

This was definitely more romance over erotica with a sweet swoon factor. If you want a quick, light, fluffy read, this is the story for you. It made my heart happy.

"Loving Logan" is a new favorite of mine. Caity and Logan are reunited after Logan returns from war with more than superficial scars, but also with emotional scars that run much deeper. Though this was just a few pages I had no problem connecting with the characters on an emotional level. I loved that these two finally decided to explore their feelings for each other. I also quite enjoyed the caring and respectful relationship Caity and Logan shared, especially in bed!

I'm usually not one who likes an overly emotional book, so I Was cautious going in, but once I actually started reading "Loving Logan" it turned out to be a great story of new found love. Another aspect that I liked about this novella was the fact that all of the family members were very accepting, and new even before Logan did that him and Caity were meant to be together.

If you are looking for a lighthearted and quirky romance with a heated sexual encounter than "Loving Logan" is definitely a book for you!

This was a sweet, short read. I would be interested in seeing these characters in a longer work.
