What do you think?
Respectfully, CMC Dixon
Ann Stranahan takes a card from the Holidays for Heroes tree at her church during Christmastime. Thinking that the deployed service member whose name is on the card wouldn't mind a box from the States, she sends off cookies and a letter. Thinking nothing would come of it, Ann carries on with her life at medical school.
Iraq was hell on Earth as far as Construction Mechanic Chief Logan Dixon was concerned. He didn't have anyone back in the States to worry about him. When a care package comes with his name on it, he has no idea what to think. Why would someone he doesn't know send him a box?
Can packages and mail bridge the miles between the young medical student and the hardened Seabee? Only time will tell in the sands of Iraq.

This book is a quick and easy read, in the positive sense.
The main characters were interesting people, not just generic cookie-cutter characters. They had flaws and challenges, and it was easy to relate to them.
It also gave a lot of interesting inslight into the life of military members serving in the desert areas. It's clear just from reading it that it's based on experience, not just imagination.
The mechanism of following the relationship through their letters is very clever, and works really well.
I'm looking forward to more!

This was recommended to me by a Claire Kinglsey reader in her group. I love finding new authors and enjoy reading their first works. Sure, it may not be as polished as some other books, but it's a lovely story of building friendship and love through exchanging letters and emails.
I'm going to explore to see if any more in the series were written!

Great read!
The storyline of Ann and Logan keeps you enthralled and leaves you not wanting to put the book down. Its a romance that sweetly wraps you up and takes you along for the ride. I highly recommend you go along for the ride.
