Colonel Wes Holden came home from work suffering from PTSD. When his wife and son are killed in a terrorist bombing, Wes is hospitalized in a near catatonic state. A year later, while living with a step-brother, Wes comes around and eventually decides to strike out on his own. Looking for a place to be by himself, he finds a remote mountain in West Virginia to call home. He also finds Ally Monroe, a young woman who cares for her father and brothers on an isolated farm. As Wes gains ground on his...
Parts of this were brilliant. It started before the man's wife and child died so you get to experience that with him. It was sad and moving. I was totally invested in the hero. The heroine not so much. Mostly because she just seemed unrealistic. 28 years old and stuck at home cooking for the menfolks on the mountain? No one wanted her because she was born with a crooked foot? I just couldn't get behind her poor me-ness. She was also very similar to the heroines in both Miracle Man and When You C...
Opening Line: "That inner part of a soldier that tells him when he’s being watched was going off big-time in Wes Holden’s head.”This was actually my first book from author Sharon Sala but I can see now why she’s so popular. It was a very good read, well parts of it were; I mean the beginning is just excellent, grabbing you right away as we watch Army Special Ops soldier Wes Holden struggle with PTSD before losing his wife and son in an on-base suicide bombing and then subsequently giving up his
MissingThis is a story about people who lived on a a mountain on W. Virginia. Its also a story about a soldier who was damaged from being a P.O.W. and had lost his family and his mind. And also got the woman who lived on the mountain. And a crazy guy who didn't care about people and what lives he destroyed. Kit Ryan
Wow!I enjoyed this book, but it really bothered me. PTSDIs difficult for the person involved as well as his family and generally misunderstood by the general population. This was a realistic view of it. Parts of this book was gruesome, but good won out. This book C will n m and you think.
Suffering from PTSD and the death of his wife and child, Col. Wes abandons reality and civilization. On his trek into nothingness he meets a compassionate woman who offers him a drink and a place to stay. Now add a mad scientist rying to create the perfect addictive drug and you have some interesting plots twists. While a fan of Sala's work this bordered on a predictable romance novel with a cheesy ending.
A little long-winded but an interesting story. The only part that seemed weird was how he all of the sudden ended up in West Virginia. The plot was reasonably well developed. A thriller by a romance writer.
My first time reading this author and I liked what I read. Think I'll look for more of this author's novels!From back cover:"He'd witnessed the ravages of war firsthand as an army special ops, but nothing could have prepared Wes Holden for the senseless death of his own wife and son-or the private nightmare that followed. An empty shell of a man, he is unable to do anything but survive. Until the day he walks into Ally Monroe's yard.Raised in the isolated mountains of West Virginia, Ally faces a...
'Missing' was so cheesy it should get rid of the reviews on the cover and put a warning to Lactose Intolerants. The opening was so hard-hitting emotionally that I didn't think that I was going to make it through the rest of the book without ugly crying. As a new parent, it hit home hard.But after the 'big event' there was little else that really affected me. The plot was weaker than a kitten in a storm, the characters - with the exception of Wes - were flimsy and insipid, and as a whole the book...
Another great read as only Sharon Sala can write it! The only reason I gave it 4 stars was just due to the fact of the way the ending went, I felt there was some bizarre things and some parts of the storyline that were left out.. suffice it’s to say.. it is still worth reading!Wes Holden is a special ops soldier dealing with ptsd of not only the war but the senseless death of his wife and childAlly is living in the mountains caring for her widowed father and brothers with no real future, and a s...
Good, but sadGood book, but a little slower than most of Ms. Sala's books. Wes had so much pain and heartache, you don't really know if he'll come back to a sensible place. Ally was there when he had come back to living. He had a really good friend in Charlie and the town's people.
