About this ebook
Two veterans reunited at a Wyoming ranch reignite their passion for each other—from the New York Times–bestselling author of Wind River Undercover.
Kira Duval was part of a Special Forces team that got caught in an ambush—leaving only two wounded survivors: herself and Weapons Sergeant Garret Fleming. Losing her team was traumatic, and in the chaotic aftermath, as the Army moved them from hospital to hospital, she lost Garret too. But she never lost her secret yearning for him.
Finally, she gave up trying to track him down back in the States. But as she settles in at the Bar C cattle ranch in Wyoming, a place where veterans can find a home and a place to heal, she’s introduced to her sandy-haired, hazel-eyed housemate: none other than Garret Fleming.
They’re a long way from Afghanistan—and a long way from the people they used to be before tragedy changed their lives. But as Kira earns her keep by caregiving for the ranch owner’s bedridden, alcoholic father—a task that sometimes feels more challenging than any black ops mission—she finds that even in peacetime Garret still has her back, and that in this warm, welcoming place, the passion she resisted in the heat of battle may finally have a chance to flourish…
Third in the series!

I've really enjoyed all the books in this series, including this one, however this one wasn't my favorite. It took quite a while for the relationship to develop between Kira and Garrett to develop even though they have known each other and cared about each other for a long time. The whole thing was too drawn out in my opinion. The secondary storyline of the ranch owner and her father was far more interesting and I can't wait to see how this works out. There are also several secondary characters that are intriguing and left me wanting more so I will definitely be looking for the next in the series. This is one I would recommend with the caveat that it takes a while to get going but worth the wait.

Kira Duval and Weapons Sergeant Garret Fleming are sole survivors from battle that are separated in the hospitals. They each move to the Bar C in Wyoming to recover and find each other again. This is the 3rd wind river valley book and am enjoying the setting, characters and their struggles and courage. Ebook from Net Galley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

This book is the third of Ms McKenna’s series titled Wind River Valley. I had read the previous two and was looking forward to this one. I have to say , as much as I loved the previous two, I found this one just ok. The pros: Ms McKenna brings to light the horrors of war that our troops endure during war and deployment. Case in point, the PTSD that our characters Garrett and Kira , as well as their friends, are suffering. Throughout the story, she also emphasizes the stress these men and women go through upon their return. We , as a nation , need to provide better assistance emotionally, mentally, as well as in the workplace. She also touches on the effects alcoholism has on the families of those that have the addiction. As much as I appreciated and was touched by all of this, I felt the plot was weak. The reader aware of the attraction between Kira and Garrett, but it’s dragged almost till the end ,before either admits it. For me , that was a real issue. Still, I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I was gifted this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
