Beck also has the malady and it caused the breakup of his marriage and the estrangement of his son.

Will fate keep these two apart or will their feelings triumph? With storylines for two other veterans, IT HAD TO BE YOU combines realistic firefighting and war scenes with heart-wrenching emotion. Reader Praise for IT HAD TO BE YOU: “Wow...Such a well written, emotional, heartbreaking read. I just loved it. I was hooked from the start by such wonderful and lovable characters...these characters broke my heart.” “I never realized the extent of PTSD and how horrible it would be to have this. You also got in the mind of the firefighters and what they feel and see during a fire. It was also a different romantic story than usual.” “I really appreciated the realistic and honest approach the author took. I also liked the emphasis on the children and their reactions to a parent's suffering. The secondary characters were equally believable. Ultimately, the courage and resolve of the families and victims of PTSD are the messages that carry through this story. Well done.” “I loved all the fireman books written by Kathryn Shay. The continuing stories were some of the best romance series I have read. Written like Susan Mallery and Robyn Carr.” “IT HAD TO BE YOU was so much more than I thought it was going to be.  I LOVED Beck's character and I loved him with Lela but I could totally see both their sides about not being able to be together. Kathryn certainly put their relationship through the emotional ringer!!” Also available: Don’t miss the rest of the firefighter romance series AFTER THE FIRE, ON THE LINE, NOTHING MORE TO LOSE, AMERICA’S BRAVEST, CHASING THE FIRE, THE FIRE INSIDE less
