Breaking His Code: A Navy SEAL Romantic Suspense Standalone (Away From Keyboard Book 1) Kindle Edition

She doesn’t trust anyone. All he wants is someone who “gets” him.

Camilla

I’d rather be elbows deep defusing a bomb than deal with anyone's feelings—including my own—but civilian life is messy. It's also all I’ve got since one slip almost sent me home from my last tour in a body bag. Now I debug lines of code by day. And spend my nights with West, a retired SEAL.

It’s not what you think.

We’re online gaming buddies. Geeking out and trash talking late into the night. But now, he wants to meet up. I’m weak enough to say yes, though there’s something he has to understand. I guard my heart. And I trust no one.

West

Six years after leaving the teams, the cold-sweat nightmares are only getting worse. But gaming with Cam, a fellow vet with an irreverent mouth and the uncanny ability to quiet my demons, is a welcome distraction from the lack of sleep and the latest fitness fads killing my Krav Maga studio.

She claims she doesn’t do relationships, but one date with her and I’m on fire for more. When I’m forced to take on a risky rescue mission to save my dojo, she retreats back behind her keyboard—and her secrets. I’m willing to lay it all on the line to prove broken can be beautiful. But she has to show me her raw edges—and trust that they're a perfect fit for my own.

Breaking His Code is the first book in the Away From Keyboard series. All books are standalones, but past characters always show up in future books.

Review

"This story tugs at your heart and doesn't let go. I laughed and cried and wanted to reach out and give them a hug so many times." ★★★★★ -- Rebecca

"What a way to start a series." ★★★★★ -- Nerdy Despina

"The characters are real people, with flaws, strengths, pain, and foibles. The chemistry between Cam and West is a dream for anyone, the way they complement each other, drawing each other out of their troubles and offering unconditional support." ★★★★★ -- Felina

"Patricia Eddy puts a spotlight on veteran issues such as: PTSD, survivor's guilt, coping with debilitating injuries and financial hardships facing service veterans." ★★★★★ -- Amazon Reviewer

"Characters with complex vulnerabilities always grab me by the heart while they draw me right into their story and that's exactly what happened with Cam, West, Royce and several other principal characters in this 5 star read." ★★★★★ -- Diane Blaser

From the Author

The men and women from the Away From Keyboard series are what I like to call "beautifully broken." 
They all have scars. They're all damaged in various ways.
Whether physically or emotionally, they've all been broken in the past. But their flaws and scars and how they deal with them? That's what makes them beautiful. Perfect. Real. 
Each book in the Away From Keyboard series is a standalone, but past characters appear in future books so you'll never truly have to say goodbye.

Patricia D. Eddy writes romance for the beautifully broken. Fueled by coffee, wine, and Doctor Who episodes on repeat, she brings damaged heroes and heroines together to find their happy ever afters in many different worlds. From military to paranormal to BDSM, her characters are unstoppable forces colliding with such heat, sparks always fly.

Patricia makes her home in Seattle with her husband and very spoiled cats, and when she’s not writing, she loves working on home improvement projects, especially if they involve power tools. 

Her award-winning Away From Keyboard series will always be her first love, because that’s where she realized the characters in her head were telling their own stories—and she was just writing them down.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good story leaving me with a few reservations
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023

It started out really strong. Both Cam and West were good main characters. But about short of 50% on my Kindle it started to stumble a bit for me. I think it had a lot to do with all the sex-texting and actual sex scenes. Although well done it ALMOST took over the story. But I liked Cam and West so much that I just kept going. They both had their own emotional things to deal with. And I liked how Cam's job and her relationships there entered into the mysteries of the programing problems.
So I ended up liking the book with some reservations. However I liked the ending. And the person behind the computer problems wasn't who I was suspecting. I always like it when the author surprises me like that.
So I also ended up wanting to know more about Royce (her boss, friend) and even Lucas another friend she worked with. How does their stories go?

This is an amazing story about Camilla and her return to Civilian life after serving in the U.S. Army and being injured.

How does she deal with her injuries? Does she find work?

Didn’t like this book as much as other readers. The heroine was very good at her coding but why couldn’t she figure out her work was being sabotaged? She was also insecure, hostile and angry most of the time. Her non-relationship with her parents didn’t make sense. The hero was great and more patient than I would have been. The ending was rather abrupt and left unresolved issues.

This book takes a look at veterans who are broken to a point. They may have physical scars, and even more have mentally emotional scars. I enjoyed this book. I hope anyone out there who reads this understands veterans a little better. Be kind and understanding. PTSD is hard to get past. Thank you for this story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Complex Veteran Characters
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2021

I really do like books with a military theme, but I admit that I can get a little picky about them. When the details are wrong, and cringe. This book definitely has military elements, but it focuses more on the individual military member’s experiences being that they are veterans with substantial injuries.
I think one of the things that I actually really appreciate about this series, particularly with this book, is that they are veterans with injuries and trauma, and yet they are living full lives. A lot of times you get portrayal in books where it feels like the characters are just sad and stopped living. Our hero and heroine both have jobs and things they are passionate about, and relationships with friends, they have sought out an online community they can relate to both get advice and help others, but they are also complex in that they live with their experiences everyday. Sometimes that means pain, or bad dreams, inability to trust, all sorts of things, but they work through them in this book, oftentimes with the help of those around them, which is great to see represented in a book.
I love that Cam is in STEM, love love love it. She’s the lead programmer for a security system, so she’s a smart cookie. She also used to be a bomb tech so I mean clearly she’s just awesome all around. She’s got a lot of hang ups, and she’s quick to pull away, to avoid being vulnerable. Even so I still really liked her.
As for West, he’s a business owner in trouble. Crossfit is taking his gym down. So he’s under a lot of stress. He’s got big dreams of helping people with injuries and disabilities be able to work out and regain confidence and mobility, be able to protect themselves; it’s a really good passion in my opinion. But he’s got some financial challenges to overcome. I feel like with West he is very forthcoming as our hero, he is upfront with Cam about what he wants. He really just wants to know her, to be with her, to be her partner. And they stumble along the way, but I really like how both of them regroup and try again.
Overall, I definitely enjoyed the book, and I plan on going through the entire series. I would recommend.

Okay this book was fantastic. Really sucks you in till the end. I loved the characters and all the different imperfections of each character. I respect anyone that go into the military to serve our country. This book proves that even if they think there have imperfections they are still worth something. I know that PTSD is really something that tears people down. My parents had a friend that had it and he ended up taking his own life because of it. You have to show the people around you that you love them. Even if you think they know tell them anyway. PTSD is no joke. I loved Cam's character she was a foul mouth, a coder, a Xbox player and a ex-Seal bada*s. Also West was amazing he showed you true development to move on to want more for his life than his past. Also I loved that he still had a huge heart to help others. Also I like Lucus I hope we get more of him he is witty and a great best friend to Cam. I am so happy Cam finally takes a leap and tells people how she feels and admits her wrongs. I loved this book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2024

Not my usual type of read but I was looking for something a bit different and I enjoyed this quite a lot.

As with any military book this was hard to read as I can imagine there are many Vets that have been through this or worse so it's very much real life based. There are times I found it hard going but that's no reflection on the story or the Author as this book is well written. It was just hard for me to read through. I have some family in the forces and it brings home what could happen to them if something went wrong ... somewhere.

It was enjoyable and if you like a story about Vets who find each other and help with the demons they live with day in and out and manage to find love and acceptance then I would absolutely recommend you read this book.

This is a journey of mistakes, scares and healing. Both leads find themselves drawn to each other but held back by their past. It’s them opening up to each other and their past.
