GRR Reviews The Soldier's Wedding by Karina Bliss

Dan survived his deployment to Afghanistan and is determined, upon his return, to marry his childhood friend Josephine "Jo", because they had a "binding contract" (scribbled on a beer coaster, while drunk) to marry. It doesn't matter that Jo didn't quite think of him "that way"... He's sure he can change her mind, but she has a secret... // Jo is busy taking care of her grandmother and growing her business. She also found out something about herself that she's still trying to come to terms with... which made her unsuitable for love, not even by Dan. But Dan can be VERY persuasive...

Surprisingly deeper than initial impressions, the initial tone was funny, but the mood turns somber once you get deeper into the story. Basically, Jo has a bit of a health scare. However, the mood is not totally a downer. The back-and-forth dance took a while, but that's what a romance does.
