Between Ghosts by Garrett Leigh

*** 5 stars! ***

OMG ! I was so happy when I've got this book, it's Garrett frickin' Leigh !
But then I realised this is a war story. In Iraq. Dammit !
I have a hate - love - hate - relationship about this one.
I lost my loved one in the same country .
That's why I felt giddy and chicken out before I started this. But like almost all of you guys, I'm a masochist, and I read.

Yeah, fuckin' awesome. I read and I was right 'there' with Connor and Nat.
I hate that they're lost someone they loved. I hate that they have to experienced the unforgettable moments together. And I think I know what it feels to be in the waiting end for them to come home. Or not.

This story has became personal to me . And 'seeing' what Nat and Connor had been through, hurts me.
I love their connection, they have that strong chemistry from the first time they met. All the denials are bullshit. They're attracted to each other right from the start.

I loved how Garrett Leigh didn't make it as a mushy fluffy story. There's no 'romantic' moments between Connor and Nat, at least not in a sweet romantic way.
They're all hard, and all that macho stuff with their relationship. Happened that I liked it so much.

The ending..OMG..the ending was 'PERFECT!', and I'm not complaining. Not at all, mate.
It was what I want to be. A perfect HEA for two wounded soul.
I bet James smiles up there :)

Note : D, I was thinking about you when I read this story. May your soul rest in peace up there.

My favorite quotes...

"Nat shivered, exposed and laid bare, but for the first time in his life he didn’t give a shit. “I’m okay. It’s just being with you, like this, I can’t hide . . . from you, from anything.”"

"Common sense— and the rockets lighting the night sky— told him whatever was brewing between them was a bad idea—a bad idea with no future, except a shit-ton of heartache— but Connor’s eyes drew him in, like they always did. Life was too short to ignore a moment as perfect as this."
