I received this from the author as a beta read for honest feedback and a review.
Shrapnel's Kiss was quite a ride. The author draws you in with lots of detail. You get drawn in by her descriptions and her attention to details of smells, sights, sounds, all of it. It was a really good quick read.
Junie is a 20 year old new Peace Corp worker that just signed up to help at a orphanage in Afghanistan. She is trying to escape a life she felt lost in. She went to try and find herself and through several extremely stressful events she is able to find herself again.
Tyler is a captain in the Army that is tasked out along with his crew to escort 3 civilians to a orphanage. He isn't too thrilled about it because he sees them as hippies and isn't interested. Everything changes in one faithful night and his life changes.
If you are looking for super steamy this isn't for you because of where the story takes place it is more about the connection between the characters and the ordeal they go through together rather than the steam. It is still a well written story, and worth a read.
