“If in our heart we still cling to anger or anxiety or possessions—anything at all—then we cannot be free.”

I'm a fan of Mila Gray / Sarah Alderson so I couldn't wait to read the sequel to Come Back to Me and had very high expectations for This is One Moment. We already met the heroine Didi in the previous book, she is Jessa's best friend, and after everything she's been through I was looking forward to seeing her get a happily ever after.

Didi Monroe ends up taking an internship at a medical facility on a Marine Base, since she's a trainee psychologist. She's the bosses daughter and knows that it won't be easy, but she didn't expect her first day to be a total nightmare. And part of that nightmare has to deal with her run in with Grumpy aka Noel Walker. Walker was part of the Alpha Team and was one of the youngest Lieutenants in the Marine Core. But the majority of his team died while he was left blind with a knee injury. Suffering with PTSD makes Walker's life unbearable, he has no idea what to do with his life and no hope for the future because he is being crippled by the guilt he feels. The first meeting between Walker and Didi doesn't go well but she is determined to find a way to get through to him and the more time they spend together the more she starts to realise that her feelings are in no way platonic.

This started out incredibly strong. The development and pacing of the relationship between Walker and Didi was perfect. But then towards the end, things just got messy. And not the good kind of messy. So many things are thrown at you that it threw off the balance of the story. An unexpected tragedy changes the course of the story and rocks them both hard. Honestly, I’m not super happy about some of the decisions the main characters make and how some things are resolved. I will say that I wish this story had an epilogue. The epilogue is really needed, since I have a few questions about the future.

This was an enjoyable, quick read but I connected much more with Come Back to Me.
