| Captain Jebediah Holliday sat in a bar nursing his drink and sighed…tomorrow he would be deployed for a twelve-month duty rotation in a war torn country. Damn, he really hated the thought of leaving his wife of five years, but she knew when she married him that he intended to have a career in the Army. Just then, he heard a raspy and sexy voice asking him to buy her a drink. He would know that voice anywhere! He swiveled around to meet her twinkling eyes.
It was just as she thought, Jeb always got hard being around her, and even though the bar was crowded she decided to tease and taunt him to see how far he would go. Trudy Holliday could not believe how much she loved her husband of five years. It seemed as if it was yesterday when her girlfriend sprung a blind date on her. Where had the time gone? Now, it was their last night together and Trudy hated it. Jeb had been deployed before but never for a year! What would she do for a whole year without him? Later that night Jeb drove her to the base's equivalent of Lover's Lane, and there he admitted to his fantasy of christening his restored T-bird by having hot sex and baptizing the white leather seats. Trudy did not have the heart to say no. When they arrived home, they made love over and over again, then showered and started all over again. Jeb had not slept all night, he said he wanted their time to be special and that he could sleep on the plane. It was then that Trudy felt a black shadow between them and she made Jeb promise to come back to her. As Jeb walked out their bedroom door he turned around to find her naked on the bed with her legs spread in open invitation. Jeb told her that the vision of her naked in bed would ease his loneliness and when he returned, he wanted to find her exactly like that. He would return because he always kept his promises! Adrianna Dane creates a wonderful story of two people meeting for the very first time and it is love at first sight. I was deeply moved by reading this book and I found myself urging Trudy on as she struggled with day to day routines on an Army base and I cried with her as the Army Chaplain knocked on her door. The book is very realistic and a definite keeper!
