Liam
wasn’t supposed to be my happily ever after.
He wasn’t
even on my radar.
He was my
husband’s best friend—forbidden.
But my
husband is dead and I’m alone. I ache for him and I reach for Liam.
One night
with Liam changed everything. Now I have to decide if I truly love him or if
he’s just the consolation prize.

When I started reading
Consolation, I originally started to read it based on the military element
alone. Obviously I have a soft spot in
my heart for military heroes and military themed books if you haven’t noticed
in previous reviews. What I didn’t
anticipate was that from the first page until the last I would be so drawn into
Natalie’s pain from the death of her husband and the connection that she and
Liam shared from the start, even if it was just a friendship.
I was at the edge of
my seat wondering and waiting for them to finally be together even when a
silent shit storm was forming around them that no one could ever see coming. Let me just say that ending? Yeah my kindle may or may not have bounced
off my bedroom wall after reading that.
I will not say what happens but man that was not what I thought was
coming after everything else that had happened up until that point.
I love how Liam and Natalie are together and their banter
back and forth is hilarious. Natalie
deserves happiness and so does Liam but will they be getting it in the next
book? I sure hope so. I hadn’t previously read a book by this
author before but if all of her books are like this one I will be placing her
on my automatic read list from here on out.
I hope May comes around quickly because I need to see what is going to
happen in Conviction.

Excerpt:
Aarabelle sits in her highchair as I feed her dinner. She’s
growing so fast. Already she’s eating cereal and a little baby food. Soon
she’ll be crawling and I have no one to celebrate with. Her father will never
see these milestones and it breaks me apart.
“You should really lock the door,” Liam huffs as he throws
his coat over the chair.
“But then I’d have to get up to let you in,” I state
matter-of-factly and go back to feeding the baby, trying to put aside my
worries. The fact is…this is reality. I have to deal with it.
“Uh huh. Hey, Pumpkin,” his eyes alight as he crouches down
by Aara. It’s adorable hearing grown men use a baby voice. It gets a little
softer and higher pitched.
The corners of her mouth lift and she throws her arms in the
air when he gets close. My heart sputters seeing how happy she gets seeing him.
Liam kisses her head and she giggles.
“At least someone is happy to see me,” he says playfully.
“I’d be happy if you brought me a present,” I joke.
He laughs and goes into the pocket of his coat. “Just so
happens I did, but since that’s the only way you’ll be nice, I’ll hold on to
this until you’ve earned it.”
Practically leaping out of my chair, I rush over. “What is
it?” I try to peer around his back as he holds the mystery item.
Liam’s lips curl as he sees how much I want this. I don’t
even know what it is. Jeez, I’m an idiot. “Nope. We eat first, then maybe
you’ll get it.”
“Watch, it’s a freaking Pez dispenser or something stupid.”
“Guess you’ll have to be nice to find out.” He shoves the
item into his back pocket and I fight the urge to reach and get it. “How was
work?”
We spend the next thirty minutes going over my day and
Jackson’s return. Liam never mentioned that they spoke, but he’s surprised to
hear he’s in Virginia. After we finish the pizza, Liam somehow convinces me we
should watch a movie. I get Aarabelle to bed and come down to find him sprawled
out on the couch.
“By all means, make yourself comfortable.”
Liam pulls his beanie higher on his forehead and his eyes
glimmer with amusement. He sits up and puts the TV on. “I picked the movie.”
“What?” I ask with mock incredulity. “It’s my house. Why do
you get to pick the movie?”
“Ummm, I’m the guest.” He shrugs as if this should be an
obvious answer.
I groan and lean back. “What crappy, shoot-‘em-up movie do I
have to endure?”
“You’ll see. It’s a classic.”
