A Hero To Come Home To

A Hero to Come Home To is the first book in Tallgrass series by Marilyn Pappano. The novel opens up precisely 13 months after Carly lost her beloved husband in a military mission in Afghanistan. She is yet to come in terms with her husband’s death, has much sorrow and finds life difficult to handle. She talks with her friend Therese and then joins a group of widows known as The Tuesday Night Marguarita Group, a year later with the support they offer, she slowly piecing together her life back.

On one of their meetings, Carly meets Dane, a serious man dealing with his own personal demons after returning from war. He is struggling with his injuries from the battlefield and trying to come in terms with how the injuries have impacted his own life and what next move he’ll make. He always wanted to dedicated two decades into the army. Now he’s injured, his mother feels that a piece of him is missing, his wife cheated and left him, and Dane is certain that relationship won’t work at this time in his life.

However by coincidence or rather say fate, Dane and Carly keep on bumping on each other, and soon they become good friends. They soon start to develop feelings of more than friendship, but they’re still struggling with their problems. Carly still has her wedding ring and still keeps her husband’s belongings in her house, and the house still looks the same when her husband left for the battlefield. Additionally, she is struggling with the guilt as she feels like she’s cheating on her dead husband because she is getting attached to Dane. She has support from her friend as well as her family especially her sister-in-law who assures her that everything is going to be okay. She soon starts feeling what she hasn’t ever felt before when she takes her relationship with Dane to the next level.

On the other hand, Dane isn’t coping too well with his injuries, and he’s afraid to tell Carly because he fears that she likes perfection and he isn’t perfect. As they take what they’ve built forward, Dane keeps on holding back. Carly suspects that something’s up with Dane, but she’s also patient enough knowing love is patient and shouldn’t be forced. But the longer he keeps on holding back, the more it becomes hard for him to confess to her. However, he’ll have to take the risk if he needs some solid relationship with Carly.

Marilyn Pappano has given the readers not only a romantic themed story but also a story that handles other issues faced by the men behind enemy lines and their families. Through Carly, the reader can see how those left behind by men who die in battlefield struggle to come in terms with the sudden death of their loved ones, with millions of questions lingering in their mind. It’s always hard for such a family to adjust, and while they might come to terms with the death of their loved ones, the wounds never heal, and the gaps left behind are never fully occupied.

Through Dane, the readers also get to know how those who’ve been behind enemy lines try to adapt to their lives when they come back home. Some are left with life-changing injuries while others are left to deal with what is commonly known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Dane has to deal with a life-changing injury and through him; the readers are able to understand how the problems faced by the brave men from war affect not only their lives but also the lives of their loved ones. A Hero to Come To is an emotional and also happy love story that guarantees to leave you sad and happy at the same time. It brings out the true meaning of love, and how love can withstand even the mightiest storms.

A gorgeous artist but with a dark and painful past, she also has known how to keep her skeletons in the closet securely guarded. Armed to the tooth with a 40 caliber gun and a double-edged knife in her bags, she leaves Key West into the American Heartland with only one mission in mind- to kill a man.

A decade and a half ago, a chance encounter thrashed Selena into the arms of a criminal gang leader, William Davis, who became the savior and her father figure. Now the man has ordered her live next door to a Tulsa detective investigating three murder cases. A man of unknown strength, investigator Tony Ceola is closer enough to crippling William’s gang empire. But as the lady assassin slowly get to explore her neighborhood, her past starts slipping away. She is faced with a dilemma, to finish the task she was commanded to by a man who introduced her to the world of violence or lives with the man who can set her free.
