Sarah has has a lot of loss in her life and she is ready to start over again and give her daughter the life they both deserve, the only problem is she has a mouth that gets her in trouble and she runs into a person from her past she is just not ready to face ever again. Sean has his own demons he has to deal with when two guys in his unit seem to be facing there own demons and he keeps getting thrown into the middle since he's there boss and he is so over it. The only problem he is facing is having to work with Sarah the one person he was never wanting to see again, accept he has a secret of his own he needs to make sure he faces before he can be honest with himself and Sarah. This book is really good it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I found myself turning each page wanting so much more the ending was amazing and the book is really worth the read. If asked to use words to describe this book it would be intense, amazing, lots of romance and a little bit of erotic but over all AMAZING.
This book and the first one Homefront are both books you will not want to pass on.

was given a copy of this book for my honest review

Thanks Netgalley for a copy to read and review from Rock Star PR.

Amazing read, I really enjoyed this touching story. The author has such an eloquent way of writing the harsh truth when it comes to the military, and war issues. It felt like truth rather than fiction.
Sarah is brought in by her chain of command to investigate what would seem like a harmless fight between two soldiers in the unit. The unit is belonging to her deceased husband, and there she see's an old flame, Sean.
Once she reconnects with Sean, despite her loyalty to her deceased husband, she realizes the heat between her and Sean is still there. So it seems she has a second chance at love.
The story has a cliffhanger ending which really didn't satisfy me, so I hope they get another book! Five star writing though!

I love this series, and the writer. The stories and characters are very real, and the author is honest about how war and the military affects families. Definitely recommend.

Sean Nichols didn't want Sarah Delaney to be a soldier. When he proposed she said no because a soldier was all she wanted to be. She didn't want kids and didn't want to be a wife, so they broke up. Eight years later, she'd been married, widowed and shortly after found out she was pregnant and now has a five-year-old daughter. Sean's grown up a lot since then. They both hold different positions in the military. Amongst all the chaos of investigations and interviews, can these two find their way back to each other or has too many years passed?

Jessica Scott has done it again. She writes military romance so true to life you feel like you're watching someone's life unfold before your very eyes. I hate that Sarah lost her husband to the war. I am happy that a second chance romance was a possibility for her and Sean. I can't imagine being a single mom in the military. The push and pull of the job seems to be exhausting. Thank you Jessica Scott for another fabulous read in the new Homefront series. I can't wait to read more.

Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Life goes on after you say goodbye to a love.

Sean can not believe the only woman he has ever loved, the one who said "No" when he proposed is the widow of the buddy he watched die in Iraq.

I have a lot of emotions about Sean. As with many of Jessica Scott's heroes he has an unwavering dedication to his soldiers, and if possible even a stronger bond with the men who helped him through what he considers his darkest hour. He was immature and narrow minded when he was with Sarah, and it is something he regretted deeply. Now Sarah is no longer a memory but someone in his life. It seems like he may have been given a second chance, but he truly questions if he is worthy of it. Sarah has a life she never imagined on many fronts, and for the first time her new boss is making her question her goals. Sarah is torn between two loves she has lost; one who has died, and one who unexpectedly walks back into her life. They learn to be friends again before they put a name to the feelings that have been brought to the surface.

As with all Jessica Scott books, there will be a few moments you laugh, a few you shake your head, one or two you will cry and there will be some point you fan yourself to cool down. Her books are like no others you will ever read.

I received this book from the author for my honest review - and the copy I purchased will be on my Kindle on release day!
