I read the Kindle edition of this book, which is the first in a series about the Callahan family of Texas.

Jenna Callahan Colby is surrounded by friends and family in her little Texas town. Having been married and divorced from a Dallas Cowboy (the football kind), she doesnt know if shell ever fall in love again.

Then Nate Langley shows up. Nate was the towns hero, both on the football field and on the battlefield. He returns from a tour of duty in Iraq, looking for a fresh start. Jenna and Nate were sweet on each other back in high school, and it doesnt take long for their love to rekindle. However, they both have issues: Jenna is still reeling from her divorce, and Nate is suffering from PTSD.

The descriptions of PTSD are realistic enough, but it was surprising how long it took the rest of the characters to realize that this was Nates problem. This would have been enough conflict for a romance, but then the author decided to add in a natural disaster, and this felt tacked-on and forced, and really did nothing for the story. Nevertheless, its a sweet, small-town romance that is an easy read.
