Since her mother’s death, Ally Monroe spends her days cooking, cleaning, and caring for her father and two middle-aged brothers. Holding on to her dreams is the only way she will survive this lonely life in the mountains of West Virginia. John Wesley Holden is a special-ops soldier stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia. Having served a horrific tour in Afghanistan, where he was captured as a prisoner of war, he now suffers from PTSD. His wife and son are his lifeline to finding happiness again. But when a suicide bomber attacks the base, killing his family, Wes loses his grip on reality. Feeling as if the enemy has followed him home, Wes walks away from his life, nearly catatonic. Then he meets Ally… and begins to find his way back to life. But something’s not quite right in Blue Creek, West Virginia. Their neighbor is hiding a secret operation, and he’ll stop at nothing to keep Wes and Ally out of it—and to take Ally for his own.

Missing, by Sharon Sala From Publishers Weekly By the end of the first chapter of Sala's overwrought romance, Wes Holden, a former POW in Afghanistan who suffers from PTSD, has seen a Muslim terrorist kill his wife and son. Meanwhile, in rural West Virginia, Ally Monroe cares for a selfish father and two fully grown brothers. Her father urges her to marry a local widower, but Ally, who gave up on love long ago (what with being born with a game leg), dreams of a man walking out of the woods to save her from her drudgery—which is exactly what happens. The grief-stricken Wes, having regained his senses and realized that his slimy stepbrother wants to get his hands on his army benefits, escapes to Blue Creek, W.Va., where he meets Ally. But there's a mysterious farmer up on the mountain, and extremely unsettling things happen when Ally's brothers begin to help him harvest his crop. Though the two well-realized leads fall in love in a credible fashion, their story is lost amid the overwriting. The palpable aura of sadness surrounding Wes and Ally eventually grows to overwhelming proportions, because most of the other characters are incredibly selfish, greedy, evil or mad. To top it off, the book takes a gruesome, violent turn toward the end that makes it, and its Perils of Pauline plot, even more absurd.

Literally, He has faced life and death in Iraq, he is a special ops soldier, who has finally made it home. Suffering from Post Delayed Traumatic Stress he is trying to pull his life togather. Suddenly his wife and son are killed in a terrorist attack in the commissary at Ft Benning. Wes shuts down. After almost a year the military releases him to his half-brother. They don't think he will ever come out of the catatonic state he is in. However, left to his half-brothers care, he suddenly realizes he will die if he doesn't escape. So When Aaron Clancy leaves him to sit in a chair alone without anyone to feed or care for him, he rises, packs a bag and leaves.Walking and hiding from most everyone he travels from Miami to West Virginia.He has been on the road almost a year. His mind torn and shattered, he finally walks out of some woods to hear a sweet voice singing a hymn.Ally Munroe is the 28 year old daughter of Gidion Munroe. She has a limp and has taken care of her family since she was 16 when her mother died. She has just about given up on her hopes and dreams when the tall, ragged, sad faced man walks out of the woods. At first a little afraid she still offers him food and finally offers him a place to stay. She has inherited her uncle's litte cabin hidden in the woods.With care and warmth she reaches out to the wounded animal that Wes has become. And Wes fighting and wrestling with his own dreams, or rather nightmares, slowly begins to open the door to his feelings which have been locked up so long.What neither see is the evil that has come to these mountains. An evil from the city, full of greed and ego. An evil they will both have to fight.Sharon Sala has given us a novel of all the emotions. I cried, I laughed. And at the end I was humbled. Do not miss this book.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. 3.5 stars ~ a little too gory By Tracy Vest Army sniper Wes Holden has returned from the Gulf to resume his family life with wife Margie and son Mikey. Their happiness is cut short when they both perish in a terrorist bombing on the base. Frantic to find them before its too late, he quickly dispatches the suicide bomber then collapses in grief. In his own world for nearly a year, he sees his chance for escape and lands in the rural West Virginia mountains. The kindness of Allie Monroe reignites his heart, when she offers him a place to stay on her family's property. After her mother's death, Allie resumed the role as caretaker to her two brothers and father, and now dad is trying to repay her by marrying her off to the first widower in need of a mama for his kids. But she has eyes only for Wes. Due to his many years as a soldier, Wes' heightened sense of awareness alerts him to impending danger and he performs nightly recons on the mountain to see what is going on. Little does Allie and her family know, but the geeky man that lives up the hill is actually creating a genetically engineered drug guaranteed to hook addicts, and he'll stop at nothing to keep his crop and the overabundance of dead animals around his property a secret. Especially when he discovers that his creation has mutated into something lethal.Sala is a hit or miss for me, and often her books fall into the average category. This one started out above average, but quickly she resorted to gore in order to move the story along. Does a reader really need details on someone being gutted? However, I have never cried so much - Wes grief is agonizing to read about, and quite realistic. I also liked that she allowed a relationship to build between Allie and Wes before tossing them in bed together.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. A timely subject By bhr When you have romantic suspense titled "Missing", you're bound to think missing child, or maybe missing woman. Surprise.This is the story of a missing MAN. Colonel Wes Holden is a soldier who's seen too much, been through too much, and he decides he doesn't want to be himself anymore.The heroine of the story is a plain, good woman in the hills of West Virginia. She lives with her family. She finds Wes one day, as he approaches her, asking for water. She recognizes something in him, and reaches out to catch him.There is a strong story line to this book which has very little to do with the main characters. I find that kind of refreshing, and more than believable, since Wes has more than enough on his plate than to have to be the center of the other plot, also. The "bad guy" in the book is also well drawn and more than believable.There is also an element to faith in this book, as there often is in Ms. Sala's books. If you're allergic to the idea of God, perhaps you'll find this annoying. I find it surprising, since so few romances outside "inspirational" ones dare tread in this direction. But it's not so overwhelming (as another reviewer has suggested) that you've got God jumping out at every other plot device. Rather, it's a realistic portrayal of rural Eastern church-going folk. I find it kind of refreshing that this part of the character is actually addressed.All in all, a good read.(*)>
