BOOK REVIEW- Loving the Sergeant (D.E.V.I.N. Series Book 5) by Katina Gavin

When an ex-Marine struggles to feel whole as a wounded warrior, one man will be her salvation. But first, she’ll have to save his life.

Sergeant Emerson’s medical discharge from military service scares her witless. Especially when as a fresh amputee she’s designated as a bodyguard to a quirky genius. But after she’s placed in civilian housing with a handsome man who sees past her pride, her soldier’s heart softens.
Tika never expected to be attracted to the fiercely proud ex-Marine sharing his quarters. Sensing that her emotional pain goes far beyond her traumatic injury, he’s drawn to help her heal and find love. But deep down, he knows a future together is doomed: he wants a family and Emerson has made it obvious she doesn’t feel the same.
When a dramatic assassination attempt throws Tika into the line of fire, raw emotions pull the couple closer. Can the pair move past their stalemate to create a future together, or will the war vet’s painful past destroy love's future?  AMAZON      3.5 STARS

I had major mixed emotions on this one!
Both Emerson and Tika (which by the way I liked that name) each were people with depths to them.  These two people stirred up plenty of emotions. 
At first there seemed to be almost too many people to keep up with.  But I guess it makes sense because where Emerson is sent to work is a strong community.  Both when it comes to security and the strong family bonds. 
This story was different especially when it came to who is being protected.  A genius, okay that might be expected.  But the childishness of that genius while being a creative idea is a bit over the top for me a lot of the times. So was some of the sexual language. 
There is a additional surprise that is revealed over time and it has to do with another reason for Emerson's difficulty when it comes to feelings.  That was a great twist.  With all of that said, I'm not so sure that I will be continuing to read this series.
