Captivating and Entertaining! I love the story of Cam and West. The storyline is filled with a lot of action, suspense and intrigue. I can’t wait for the next book in the Series. The narration was good and easy to listen. I enjoyed my listening. I have read and listened this story.
As I was reading this book, one thing kept running through my head – how in the world did I manage to miss this book for so long? I read the second book in the series, but missed this one completely. I’m very glad I finally got to it.
I like Patricia Eddy’s writing – it is crisp and she is able to weave her stories around the characters while building those characters so well you hardly notice that they’ve become your friends. This book is no different than the others I’ve read of hers. Cam is a wounded former soldier now coding for a living, with her former CO Royce (whose book is number 2 in this series, so now I know the background I didn’t know when I read Book #2). West is a former Seal, but saying he suffers from PTSD reduces him to a statistic. He suffers the guilt that survivors always carry. When these two people meet sparks fly immediately. These are both dealing with a crisis – Cam with a new contract Royce’s company is struggling with because the software is jacked, and West with the possible loss of his gym because a high tech gym moved across the street (you know the ones, loud music, lotsa glitz, attended by all the pretty people – yep, you know it). I have been refusing to post any spoilers in my reviews lately, but I will say that you won’t be disappointed in the build up of the tension in this book, nor in the outcome, although I will say it ends more abruptly than I thought it would. And this was a book I didn’t want to end, so I was a little disappointed, although it has a great HEA for West and Cam.
This book is yet another one of Eddy’s that made me cry. In another review I got poetic and said that she was weaving her characters together with technicolor threads. That is absolutely what she does. The farther into her books you go, the better you know the characters and the more interesting they become. In this case, I cried with Cam because she was learning about trust and not giving up on people, but mostly she learned how to ask for what she needed.
Yes, I would recommend you read this book. And while it isn’t necessary to read this first, before reading In Her Sights, it does give you background about the characters that are featured in both books. I had a couple of aha moments while reading this, especially about Ryker and now I like him even more.
Another phenomenal read from Patricia D. Eddy. This is a book about second chances and not in the they were ex-lovers kind of way. It is about wounded vets finding love, even when they find themselves unlovable. There is also action and adventure. You will love it!
The characters in this first book of “Away from the Keyboard” feel like the author hasn’t entirely figured them out. But they’re still solid, and you WANT to get to know them better. You want to see how they get through the challenges before them. It’s a peek into the world of modern veterans and the scars (physical, emotional, and mental) that so often follow them home after deployment ends. And you really want to read the next book in the series to see how they and the people around them grow.
Cam and West have found the source code of love. Cam is a one tough chick. From surviving her time in the Army and subsequent injuries to her topdog programming job she presents a strong face to the world. But underneath that exterior she is a mass of fear and pain. Like most Vets the transition back to civilian life isn’t easy and the scars, both physical and mental, she carries with her are sometimes paralyzing. When her online buddy wants to meet her she is hesitant to take that relationship from cyberspace to real life. Turns out West IRL is like perfect and makes Cam feel slightly misfit. West has his ghosts and demons from his time in the Navy. Now he just wants to make his Dojo work and try and re-acclimate to life. With business money troubles and his night terrors, the one bright spot in his days is Cam. Once he convinces her to meet and feels those insta sparks he knows he cannot let this amazing woman escape. When a threat is levied there is no way they will leave a man behind. Time to get with the program.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book.
I really liked this book! Aside from the love story, Patricia Eddy puts a spotlight on veteran issues such as: PTSD, survivor’s guilt, coping with debilitating injuries and financial hardships facing service veterans. The story is evenly paced with romantic, suspenseful and dangerous moments.
Cam and West are extremely likeable characters. They each struggle with the after effects of the horrors of war. They “get” each other. Now Cam must learn to trust West and not pull back and try to go it alone as she typically does. West is desparately trying not to lose his business. He’s finally to the point that he must take a dangerous job in order to keep the doors of his Krav Maga dojo open. Meanwhile, Cam is exhaustively working to implement new security system at a hotel, battling her boss and his over the top crappy attitude and convincing her best friend to stay working with her.
