Description from the publisher:
The
soldiers at Walter Reed know that war can be brutal and cruel. The biggest
battle is often fought after they leave the battlefield.
Ava Sawyer knows the cost of war too well. As a volunteer at Walter Reed she sees the men and woman rotate through the halls as the nation tries to heal its heroes. Using music and movement, she encourages the wounded vets to find a new rhythm in their lives.
Mark Taylor thought his dreams had ended, until a beautiful woman dances into his life and his heart.
Will the scars of war be too much to handle, or can love conquer all?

This is the first book in the Meet
Me series, but each stands alone and they do not need to be read in a
particular order.
Every Tuesday and Friday, Ava Sawyer
visits Walter Reed Hospital and invites the recovering vets to dance. She doesn’t see the missing limbs, but
instead encourages them to embrace what they do have and to find joy in
it. One of those vets is Mark
Taylor. Mark lost his right leg while on
patrol in Afghanistan. The first time he
attended the dance therapy class, he was surly, angry, and doubtful that his
life could be good again. Can love find
a way to soothe his battle-scarred body?
Though a short-story, Ms. Collins
provides a complete and compelling modern love story. I honestly debated between four-stars and
five-stars. I love the story, but the
writing needs to be a little more show, less tell. I will say that the “tell” parts were in
conversation, so Ms. Collins does know, she just needs more practice at
it. In the end, I decided to give it
five-stars for two reasons. There was
enough irreverent comedy that is so raw that it rang true and real. Also, the characters were so believable and
so lovable that I was crying as I finished their love story.
Jade C. Jamison contacted me and
asked me if I was willing to take on another Colorado author with a great list
of books. Thank you, Jade, for hooking
us together. Kelly Collins – more, more,
more – encore! I look forward to reading
more of your stories.
