Blurb
In a matter of seconds my entire world changed, and it was in that moment that I stopped living and simply began to exist.
In my grief, I sent a letter to the first boy I ever loved. I hoped in writing it I’d find some peace from the nightmare I was living, some solace in my anger.
I didn’t expect him to write back. I wasn’t prepared for his words, and I certainly wasn’t ready for the impact this soldier would have on my life. A deep-rooted hate transformed into friendship, and then molded into a love like I’d never known before.
Sergeant Devin Ulysses Clay did what I couldn’t: he put the shattered pieces of my heart back together, restoring my faith in humanity and teaching me how to live again.
But now that I’m whole, I have a decision to make. Do I return to my life as I knew it and the fiancé I left behind, or do I walk away from it all for the only man to ever break my heart?
***
I’ve been living in hell, but you won’t hear me complain.
These men depend on me, as I do them, and this brotherhood is the only family I’ve ever known.
The Army saved me from a callous mother and a life on the wrong side of the tracks that was quickly spiraling out of control. So unlike most of the men in my platoon, going home wasn’t something I longed for.
I was content overseas, spending my days defending this country that gave me my life back. Fighting became my new normal … until her.
A letter from Katie Devora—a letter that I almost didn’t open. Her words put a fire back inside of me that I didn’t know I’d lost. She gave me hope during a time when I was fighting every day just to stay alive, and now it’s time I fight for her.
My Review of A Lover’s Lament by K.L. Grayson and BT Urruela
However momentary it may be, the monsters inside of me have calmed, and for once I feel like I can actually breathe.
A Lover’s Lament by K.L. Grayson and BT Urruela is an EPIC romance. That’s the best way to describe it. EPIC. It has everything: first love, lost love, second-chance romance and it isn’t all wrapped up in a pretty little bow. This is how true love should be written. A beautifully tragic love story that deals with love, loss, and handling tragedy in this crazy life.
Grayson and Urruela have written what I would call one of my top 10 books this year. It tore me up inside and taped me back together. There is so much emotion infused in the words of this book and the characters are incredibly human and real. Katie and Devin must face challenges along the way, but will they ultimately get what they’ve been searching for? What an amazing story told from dual points of view. Devin from overseas and Katie from home.
Be prepared for tears and laughter while reading A Lover’s Lament. A perfect weekend read.

K.L. Grayson resides in a small town outside of St. Louis, MO. She is entertained daily by her extraordinary husband, who will forever inspire every good quality she writes in a man. Her entire life rests in the palms of six dirty little hands, and when the day is over and those pint-sized cherubs have been washed and tucked into bed, you can find her typing away furiously on her computer. She has a love for alpha-males, brownies, reading, tattoos, sunglasses, and happy endings…and not particularly in that order.
