After reading Mynx's fantastic Battaglia Mafia series, I was excited to read this book. An interracial romance with a military man and a law student woman? Yep!
I was a little irritated with the pacing of the book and the flashback sequences had me double-checking the dates of each part of this story.
Asha seems like a weak character. After being supportive and loving to her husband, Kevan "Ice" Quinn, he basically rebukes her presence after he let his rescue team down during a mission for the US Coast Guard. He is the lone survivor and while I understood his pain and guilt over losing his friends, the misplaced anger triggered me.
After putting up with her sullen and withdrawn husband who eventually tells her to f*** off, Asha finally leaves and serves him with divorce papers. She makes a new life for herself as a big shot lawyer and Ice is still living in Maine, feeling sorry for himself but still working in the Guard.
Present day Ice attempts to win his ex-wife back and is persistent to the point where I had to take a walk. Asha caving in to spend Christmas with them (a major theme in the book) had me rolling my eyes. Then the reconciliation and the makeup sex... There was no real yearning or seeking forgiveness from him. Ice excuses his behavior as being childish and from his loss but failed to see how badly he screwed up his relationship with Asha.
They reconcile and the book ends with a HEA, Asha having had a baby and they moved back to her hometown.
I love a good second-chance story but the pacing and how quickly Asha gave in left me feeling disenchanted. If the story was longer and better structured (going in order of how they met, dated, married, the mission, divorce, and reconcilation), I would have liked the book.
