5 Stars!!
Broken dreams. Oh my gosh this book is good!
It tells the story of Isabella who has her whole life ahead of her and is anticipating going to an amazing dance college. After her twin is killed by the over-powering support he has for her and is rushing to get to her audition, She comes to the courageous decision to follow his dream and enlist in the army.
Whilst serving, her Humvee is hit by a rocket and she is injured. You go through the heartbreaking journey with Izzy as she comes to terms with her injuries and the fact that she survived while the rest of her colleagues have lost their lives.
Izzy and, her brothers best friend, Conner had gotten closer after her brother's Death and you go through all the emotions of them going from friends to best friends to lovers with all the tragedies inbetween which add to the beauty of the story plot.
This story shows the life of a lovely young girl who grows into an Amazing and strong young lady.
Cassidy has written this extremely well and did this by allowing the main character to explain the story line within the events of her life.
Excerpt:
Her yoga pants stop just below the knee and are loose enough I can pull them up pretty far on her thigh. I freeze; it’s the first time since the hospital that I’ve really gotten to look at her wounds.
“Hideous aren’t they?”
“Every mark, every line tells a story about someone you met over there. Each of these is a memory, this isn’t the way you would have wanted to keep them with you but that wasn’t up to you. They are your hero’s mark and you should be proud to show them off.”

Fun Questions:
1. What's your favorite color? I feel most confident in red and it looks best with my coloring. This is also the color I associate with passion so I’m very drawn to it. My bedroom is a very deep red. I also love purple; ironically I rarely wear it though.
2. List 5 facts about yourself.
I played bagpipes all through middle and high school
I have 3 kids who are all musically and athletically talented.
I married my high school sweetheart and we’re still going strong after 15 years.
I love to travel. I’ve been to Canada, Mexico, Ireland, Scotland, England and France.
I’m a terrible homemaker! I work full time plus write on the side so I’m not a true stay at home mom but I still really suck at cooking and cleaning. My husband is much better at taking care of the house than I am.
3. What do you like to do for fun? With three kids I rarely have time to consider my own idea of fun. When I do get out it’s for fondue at Melting Pot, music concerts, bowling and mini golf. I used to read incessantly but since I started writing I’ve found there is no time for reading too!
Book Questions:
1. When did you start writing? Over the years I’ve written small things but never took it very serious. I met some Indie authors last year and learned so much about this DIY world. It was the first time I thought about writing for publishing. Knowing you don’t have to go through publishing companies and face rejections was eye opening for me.
2. Who are some of you favorite authors? What are some of your favorite books? Tessa Dare is by far my favorite and I love all of her books. I recently stumbled upon Barbara Devlin and have enjoyed her Brethren of the Coast series. My daughter is a huge fan of dystopian YA, I read everything she does so we can discuss them. For that genre I really enjoyed the Legend series by Marie Lu.
3. Who inspired you so start writing? Last year I was inspired to write a story for my hubby. He hates to read, I’ve tried buying him various genres but he never finished one. I decided to try writing a story I thought he could get through and maybe have it turn him on in the process. Amazingly he finished my story but sadly it didn’t inspire him to read anything else.
4. What genre's do you like to read that most? Historical romance is my favorite genre; I am in awe of anyone that can write it.
