Description
Two fractured souls must lean on each other to heal physically and emotionally….
Karly Stephens got her heart shredded, when the man she thought was supposed to be her forever, cheated on her. To avoid dealing with her tattered life, she threw herself into work.
Injured and battle-weary Marine, Garret Lole, agonizes when his team deploys overseas without him. When Karly is assigned to be Garret’s nurse, unexpected sparks fly.
Despite her scarred soul, Karly is drawn to Garret in every possible way. Like puzzle pieces scattered on the floor, they must figure out how to trust in themselves and each other. Picking up the pieces might mean a whole new world for both of them.

I love novellas, they fill those gaps between long angsty listens. This short is full of romance and healing. Garrett is ready to deploy with his troop when a knee injury prevents him from going. Now in the hospital, he finds himself attracted to his nurse. Karly finds him very appealing, but can she date a patient? Can she trust him after all that has happened to her? This is a great story. I love Karly, she is spunky and independent. I also love that she just doesn’t jump at the chances she is given. I think this makes the story more realistic. I have great sympathy for Garrett. He had quite a blow when he could not deploy, but he is using the advantage he has. He is definitely the kind of man you want for the long term! Another great story by Lori King. This series is very entertaining.
Blair Seibert enhances this story with her narration. She has great voices for her characters. There is a richness to her tone, so we can hear and feel that warmth of Karly, the kind of voice you would like to hear from a nurse. She easily transitions to male voices and gives Garrett a sexy voice that is impossible not to fall for. Another wonderful performance.

I thoroughly enjoyed this military love at first sight story. For being a short book the development of the romance from how they met, how they slowly fell in love, the dilema and resolution felt believable and real. It had some hot scenes too. All the elements of a wonderful romance wrapped in a short book with very good narration. Highly recommended for a quick escape.

This is a quick sweet listen. It has the right amount of drama in a story of someone trying to get back on the horse and date again with a side of steamy. The characters were really likable and I especially liked how flirty and funny Garrett was. Blair Seibert is a new to me narrator and she did a great job.
