How could one party change so much?It had been ten years since that night, and walking into the high schoolreunion, Lita wasn’t sure what to expect. Her mind was riddled with memories, and herheart was racing. The moment her eyes locked with Alex’s, her heartstarted to beat again, as if part of her had been dead all those years. Life certainlyhadn’t gone as expected, and she had not lived up to … and she had not lived up to the promises made that last night.
Feeling broken, Alex longed to move past the disappointment of his military
career. After his friend convinced him to go to his ten-year high school reunion, he
was surprised to find himself smitten with a girl from the past. Lita had
been sweet and innocent back then, but was she still? Part of him longed to see.
The two of them fall into a whirlwind, wanting to help the other heal and pursue their dreams.
But they may find the pressure is more intense than the passion the old spark ignited in them.

LOVED this story!
A story about being true to yourself and your dreams. Not giving up and second chances at love. Or even third chances lol.
Alex’s confidence was injured after his body was injured, this is a story of him healing in many forms.
Lita gave up her dreams and later learned what she wanted was just as important. I loved it wasn’t an insta easy to be together story. The couple had to learn to adjust to their altered realities and be true to what they wanted.
Lita had a big crush on Alex in high school, but it never went anywhere. She had plans to go to college in Berkeley, and then was looking forward to a music career. Her plans were derailed when her grandfather had another stroke, and she stayed home to help her mother and grandmother. Alex went into the Marines, met Clara, and got married. When he came home severely injured after an attack, Clara had trouble dealing with the situation, and their marriage was a casualty. Lita’s girlfriends got her to agree to go to their 10-year high school reunion, where she ran into Alex. He needs a fresh perspective on his life, and comes back to Birmingham, where he and Lita begin to see each other. I really enjoyed this book – Lita is open-minded enough to see Alex beyond his wheelchair for what he is inside. This is my first read from this author – looking forward to more.

This was a really good well written second chance romance I really liked both Alex and Lita these two went to high school together and she had a huge crush on him but it never went further than a kiss. Life has not worked out how either one of them expected but when they meet up again at their reunion the attraction between them is still strong. A super read I really enjoyed it.
A second chance at dreams. A second chance at love. Sometimes it takes time for things to work out the way they are supposed to, maybe even years. This is the story of Alex and Lita, who went to school together, shared a kiss then went their separate ways after high school. Lita crushed on Alex in high school but he only kissed her. For each of them, life didn’t go the way they planned or hoped it would. Reunited at the high school reunion, they fall in to a whirlwind romance, each wanting to help the other heal from past hurts. Can they each heal and have a chance at a HEA?

Veteran Dreams is a wonderful second chance romance. This is a second chance at love, life and youthful dreams. Lita is an artist she writes and sings and is very talented. She has crushed on Alex all through high school. Alex went into the Marines right after high school. Ten years later their lives are very different. But when they meet again at their high school reunion they decide to see what might have been. This book will make you laugh and cry and just maybe believe again.
Lita and Alex reconnect at their 10 year high school reunion. Neither is happy about where life has taken them, but maybe they can have a future together. They both have past wounds and issues to get over and maybe they can help heal each other. Liked the ending.
A really emotional second chance romance.
Lita had been in love with Alex for ages but he didn’t feel like they were right for each other and he left to join the military. He was sure that he was going to hear her on the radio one day but that wasn’t what life had in store for her. Five years later and nothing had gone as planned for either one of them. But maybe they were given this second chance for a reason.
