Exposed

First book I've read by the author, an emotional rollercoaster that deals with real issues such as PTSD.

I loved Dr. Dan, such a personable and giving character. He took to Eden right away although she took quite awhile to thaw even though the physical attraction was there. Her insecurities due to the injuries threatened their HEA throughout and the story can get angsty at times due to this. Sometimes, your own fears are your worst enemy.

With the author's background, the medical parts of the story flowed smoothly and weaved into the emotional ones seamlessly. I also enjoyed the premise that the heroine is the one with the military background instead of the hero.

Four and one-half stars.

*I received an ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! It's a great story of healing and love. So different, in a wonderful way, from your typical romance.

This is the first book I've read by JC Harroway but look forward to reading more of her work.  
This story was really unique and well plotted.  I found Eden and Dan very believable with will human frailties.  There were moments I wanted to cry for each of them.  It was very satisfying to see them grow and emerge from their pain to find a loving satisfying relationship and life.  Highly recommended.

I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

This book was emotional from the very beginning. The struggles that both Eden and Dan went through was hard to read about but unfortunately it is very real. This book was full of such amazing people and the way that the author made such a connection was beautiful. Thank you NetGalley and JC Harroway for allowing me to read and review this book.

This was really well written, the characters were really moving and I literally read it in one sitting because I just had to finish it!

This was a cute, emotional read about two people who are struggling to come to terms with the hands they've been dealt.  Eden was severely burned while serving her country and is left permanently scared and possibly facing the end of her career as she knows it.  Dan is trying to deal with the loss of his wife and the guilt he feels for not seeing what was wrong with her.  Her death was not recent, but he hasn't dealt with it; instead choosing to throw himself into his work and several volunteer efforts.

Dan and Eden meet when they go on a hiking trip together, one geared at helping others overcome their challenges.  Dan is there as the team doctor and Eden volunteers to help the others.  They come together slowly; going from nearly hating each other to developing a friendship.

Captain Eden Archer is recovering from a horrific accident that has left her with scars than extend further than the skin grafts on her arm and chest. She is desperate to get back to active service and knows that if she can do well as a volunteer in the Ruby Challenge for recovering veterans, she has a much improved chance. Unfortunately she has to pass a medical before the event, which results in an unsettling encounter with Dr Dan Barbour, another person recovering from an emotional trauma. We follow Dan’s attempts to overcome his past sorrow whilst trying to help Eden. I enjoyed this moving and courageous story.
