My Review:
Surviving For Us is a military based romance that focuses on the emotional hardship of the relationship. The story takes a look at Chase and Angie's relationship as they try to build one long distance. The situation is made harder when Chase is deployed and Angie is left dealing with everything on her own. A big wrench is thrown into their relationship when Chase returns but has trouble dealing with everything he saw overseas. They struggle to find each other again. Once they do, they find that their love is stronger than before.
Chase and Angie's story is a wonderful read. It's not one of the insta-love stories but one that progresses over time. I loved reading about them and rooting for them to get their HEA. The story is well balanced and gives us some insight into to the secondary characters, Jenn and Chris's lives. I'm glad that we do because they are a big part of Angie and Chase's lives. I found that the book was not overly emotional but you still find some connection with the characters. Some spots were a little draggy but overall it was a great read.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 Stars
