Blurb:
Corporal Nicholas “Saint” Santiago
needs to go home to reclaim the man he used to be—the man he was before
Operation Enduring Freedom hardened his heart. He needs to reconnect to the
values and the reasons he does what he does. Saint also needs to try to forget
the courageous woman he knows was meant to be his.
Petty Officer Angelina Jones' life
changed the moment Saint saved it. She survived the blast, but now has to deal
with the fact she’ll never be whole. Knowing Saint received a “Dear John”
letter, Angelina has no intention to be his rebound romance. She needs to be
loved for herself. She needs to forget about the one man she knows was meant to
be hers.
They each try to find someone to help
them forget.
But what does fate have planned for
them?
Review:
Okay,
prejudice rears its head here again. I
confess, a book about a Marine and the Hospital Corpsman in his unit would have
to be pretty bad for me not to like it.
After all, I was a Hospital Corpsman who fell in love with a
sailor. But, Ms. Ovalle not only gave us
a pair of courageous service people to admire, a romance to cry over, and a bit
of steamy sex to spice up the pages, she did so in a way that grabbed me on the
first page and held my attention right through the last tear. She didn’t even distract me with any glaring
grammar errors.
Ms.
Ovalle—we apparently don’t live too terribly far apart. If you ever find yourself at the Captain
James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois next to
Great Lakes on a Monday or Thursday, please stop by the My Health eVet kiosk in
the pharmacy area and say hi. That’s
where I volunteer twice a week to give back what I can to those who served in
combat while I enjoyed my duty in Oakland, California and at Pearl Harbor,
Hawai’i.
Length: 61 Pages
Price:
$2.99
You’ll
notice I always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors usually receive 40% of
the book price from the publisher.
Editors and cover artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes &
Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author,
editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if a book costs $5.99 at E-Book
Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author will receive about $2.40. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author
will receive about $0.83.
Downloading the file from your computer to your Kindle is
as easy as transferring any file from your computer to a USB flash drive. Plug the USB end of your chord into a USB
port on your computer and simply move the file from your “Downloads” box to
your Kindle/Documents/Books directory. I
actually download my books using “Save As” to a “Books” file I created on my
computer that’s sorted by my publisher, friends, and books “to review,” and
then transfer them to my Kindle from there.
That way, if there’s a glitch with my Kindle, the books are on my
computer. Your author will be happy you
did when he/she sees his/her royalty statement.
Thanks
for visiting. Rose & Rochelle
