All For You is book four in the Coming Home series.
Captain Emily Lindberg is the psychologist at Fort Hood.
Emily goes
against what her family wants and leaves behind a life of
privilege. She
wants to make a difference by devoting her life to
soldiers who are in
desperate need of care. She recently moved to Fort Hood
because it is the
place considered most in need of psychiatric services, due
to the highest
active-duty suicide rate in the army. But the soldiers
needing care is
relentless. Not to mention she has to deal with angry
Commanders and
Sergeants that believe broken soldiers are weak and don't
belong in the
military. But Emily's refuses to back down, even if it
means dealing with the
powerful, sexy, and intimidating, alpha warrior, Sergeant
Reza Iaconelli.
Sergeant First Class Reza Iaconelli lives for leading his
men. It's what he's
good at and what he loves. For years, Reza has struggled
with being an
alcoholic. It's his way of coping with his abusive
childhood and heavy
baggage that comes with war; both leaving deep scars
inside and out. He
just wants to do his job and to be left alone. He does
not deal with the
smart and sexy shrink who makes him crazy with desire and
makes his
head spin with anger. No other woman has ever gotten his
skin like she
does. Not to mention how she manages to convince Reza to
agree to help
her understand what it's like to be a soldier so she can
better help them by
taking her to a training session, where things begin to
heat up between
them.
I really loved watching Emily grow and the banter between
her and Reza
was laugh out loud funny at times. ALL FOR YOU is
classified as a
contemporary romance; but this is so much more. The
romantic elements
of this book are great and border on steamy; however it is
the gripping tale
of Reza's men that kept me reading. Because of Jessica
Scott's military
service I know that the stories and circumstances she
writes in her fictional
stories are not make believe.
I love Jessica Scott's books and the way they
give me insight and a greater appreciation for our
military and the scars you
can not see. Jessica Scott has a way of shredding your
heart, stomping on
all the little pieces and leaving you breathless. I
devour her books like fine
chocolate and I just can't get enough. ALL FOR YOU had me
on such an
emotional roller coaster I was exhausted when I finished
reading!
SUMMARY
Can a battle-scarred warrior . . . Stay sober. Get deployed. Lead his platoon. Those are the
only things that matter to Sergeant First Class Reza
Iaconelli. What he wants is for everyone to stay out of
his
way; what he gets is Captain Emily Lindberg telling him
how
to deal with his men. Fort Hood's newest shrink is smart
as
a whip and sexy as hell. She's also full of questions-
about
the army, its soldiers, and the agony etched on Reza's
body
and soul. . . . open his heart to love? Emily has devoted her life to giving soldiers the care
they
need-and deserve. Little does she know that means facing
down the fierce wall of muscle that is Sergeant Iaconelli
like it's just another day at the office. When Reza agrees
to help her understand what makes a soldier tick, she's
thrilled. Too bad it doesn't help her unravel the sexy
warrior in front of her who stokes her desire and touches
a
part of her she thought long dead. He's the man who thinks
combat is the only escape from the demons that haunt him.
The man who needs her most of all . . .
