"Saving KC" by Grinnell Desjarlais is a romance book. The reviewer has provided an outline of the story. The book highlights the trauma that the soldiers face when they are at war. Everybody needs a purpose in their life. Kelly is struggling to find his purpose after being rescued. Congratulations on the BOTD. I like it's overall content.

Saving KC" by Grinnell Desjarlais is lauded as a phenomenal romance novel, portraying the resilient journey of Kelly. The detailed exploration of Indian cultures in the narrative is commended for its informativeness. The storyline, captivating from the initial rescue mission, emotionally resonates, especially during Kelly's captivity. Nice review.

Save for the ambiguous timing of events, I think this is a great book to reflect on soldier's experiences at war, especially from Kelly's perspective. Thanks for the review.

Kelly's life is full of unpleasant experiences, but in the end, he still finds himself and hope that he might be saved. I always appreciate it when people with such tedious backgrounds get a happy ending.

Grinnell Desjarlais's wonderful romance book Saving KC tells the story of a strong man named Kelly. Reading the review and book sample was enjoyable. Love has the ability to bring life back to the damaged and dying soul. It is remarkable, in my opinion, that Kelly was able to rebuild his life after enduring so much. excited to read this book. Congratulations on BOTD, author.

I really enjoyed reading your review of "Saving KC". You provided alot of imagery that is very enticing and the story line is very powerful. What really grabbed my attention was that I can relate to Kelly and his struggle with PTSD from the war and it hits home since my little brother suffers from PTSD from his time deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. I am very eager to read this book. Thank you
