Book Description
When Harper Preston finds himself flat in a hospital bed after a botched op, he’s okay with dealing with the fallout. If he dies, he’s lived well past his expiration date. The only people that will notice his passing are the guys he works with at Lost and Found Investigative Service.
Then his estranged wife arrives.
Cat Preston is thankful and horrified when she’s called to her husband’s side. He’s been shot. Again. But now that she’s found him she’s going to make the most of the opportunity. If it were up to Harper, she would be out of his life completely because he thinks it's the best thing for the family.
With a little SEAL abduction (for his own good of course) maybe she can convince him otherwise...
Book Review
This book deals with yet another veteran disability. PTSD is finally being addressed in this series. I really admire the author's ability to create such engrossing stories based on war veterans while highlighting the challenges that they face when they return to society.
We first met Harper as the back up John called in to protect Shannon. Now we find out why he refuses to be anywhere near his wife and kids, even though they miss him and want him to be with them.

Book Review
If you enjoyed Cinder and Ella by Kelly Oram, you are going to love this one too. Nate is dying to get some privacy from his brothers. It isn't easy being the odd one out in the Anderson triplets, but he's just about lost it when his brothers ruin the music project he's been working so hard on.

Book Description
Joslyn needs a fresh start.
Adam needs a getaway.
This year at Thanksgiving, a feisty old woman may bring them both a miracle.
After the loss of her husband in the war three years ago, Joslyn Alexander is unable to relinquish the ghosts that keep her from truly living again. Instead, she’s immersed herself in the care of her aging great-aunt. But as Aunt Marion’s Alzheimer’s progresses, Joslyn and her brothers must face the reality that she alone can no longer care for her. As the siblings seek a long-term care facility, Joslyn realizes that life goes on, even in the face of tragedy and loss.
Adam Turner is worn out. After taking over as director of the failing memory care facility a year ago, he’s turned the place into a thriving community for its residents. Now, all he wants is a few days off. But as he watches his Thanksgiving plans disappear in an unexpected winter storm, he’s left wondering how much more he can handle—until an unlikely invitation from a heartbroken woman brings him the respite he needs.
This year, all the characters from A Miracle Short Story series come together for Thanksgiving in an unusual place. As Aunt Marion regales their Thanksgiving guests with stories of love and loss, Joslyn and Adam realize there’s more to give thanks for this year than they ever imagined. Through grief and tragedy, there is hope.
Book Review
I've not read the stories before this book in the series, but it reads fine as a standalone as well. Joslyn is full of guilt and grief for having to place her aunt in a care home. Adam is in charge of said home and meets with the patient's family before Aunt Marion is shifted.
Adam admires Joslyn for how she has lovingly handled her aunt's Alzheimer. He personally knows how difficult it is for the caregiver to let go. There is an attraction there that he wants to pursue, but will Joslyn be prepared for that big a step? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Book Description
**Protecting Caroline is a stand-alone love story. It’s Book 1 in the SEAL of Protection Series.**
Matthew “Wolf” Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn’t have to do it very often. He’d been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside.
When Caroline boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she’d ever seen. She also never expected he’d be so easy to talk to. She knew he’d never be interested in talking to her if he hadn’t been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a nice way to spend a long plane ride.
Neither Wolf nor Caroline were prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that would be the last time she’d see, or need, Wolf, she’d be sorely mistaken.
Book Review
Wolf is happy with his SEAL team and their missions, but looking for a love like his parents have. Caroline is content being the quiet and unobserved person in the room. No one notices her and she's okay with that. Then the two of them end up together on a flight seated next to each other.
What they were not expecting is the terrorists out to hijack the plane. What Wolf was not expecting was her strength and bravery. What Caroline was not expecting was SEALs never leave a teammate behind. The plot is good, the characters ring true and the story comes together really well. And the best part is it's a sweet romance.

Book Description
In the harrowing prequel to The Lost and Found series, three embattled Marines must deal with their devastating physical and emotional injuries in a world that seems to have turned against them.
When the rescue helicopter crashes into his convoy in Iraq, Marine First Sergeant Duncan Wilde struggles with the loss of men, his career and the use of his body. Things can't get much worse. Until his fiancée decides she has to move on with her life, and that of her unborn child by another man.
Sergeant Chad Lowell knew when he went to war that it would come with a price. And it did.
A young Marine under his command is killed by a landmine. Chad's left with one less leg and a mountain of recriminations. That doesn't mean he wants to be a pitied by every female he comes in contact with.
Gunnery Sergeant John Palmer is furious at the hand he's been dealt. He's served his country faithfully, if not without antagonism, for many years. Now they're turning him out like a relative who has overstayed his welcome. And, since he's not even a real man anymore, maybe it is time to move on permanently.
Can these wounded warriors use a friendship borne out of adversity to form a partnership rescuing others? And can they find real love in spite of their challenges?
Book Review
Okay, so I'm enjoying the series enough to want to read the free prequel that the author wrote. Must say it was fun going through the flashback to find out exactly how Duncan, Chad and John came together to form Lost and Found. If you are enjoying the other books, you will not want to miss this book.

At one point of time Zeke was living the American dream, high school football star, popular boy and then a promising career as a soldier. It all came to a crashing halt when a wall fell on him during an explosion on a mission.

Book Description

Soon Shannon is wondering just what it would take for John to want her the way she wants him.
When an old enemy tries to settle a vendetta against Shannon, John insists on protecting her. He moves into her house, fanning the spark of attraction into a blaze. But the danger continues to escalate. Will the connection that they’ve found survive when they’re thrust into a fight for their lives?
Book Review
It's the start of a fantastic series where the author deals with veterans who have returned with disabilities. John's a grumpy man and doesn't see his life getting any better. Then Duncan pulls Chad and him to found the Lost and Found agency. They hire more veterans and gain a good reputation. Then Shannon comes to work for the firm and John doesn't know what hit him.

Book Description
Josh Grady is a screwed up teen about to get another chance. After stealing a car, wrecking it in a terrible accident that puts his best friend in a coma, he is given a lucky break he's not sure he deserves. Instead of juvie, he's sent to Shining Star Boy's Ranch. Josh resents the rules, the counselors and the teachers, but most of all he hates the family atmosphere that reminds him of all he's lost. Journaling becomes an outlet that leads to self discovery. After many mistakes, Josh realizes that the hardest lesson of all to learn is forgiveness.
Book Review
This is a book that deals with some harsh realities. The main protagonist Josh is pretty much at the end of a rather long rope that he's been weaving to hang himself with. He's managed to get in to all kinds of trouble and as a last resort has been sent to Shining Star Boy's Ranch rather than juvenile prison.
Here he has a "family" of sorts that is rooting for him. Something he has no idea how to deal with. he's used to people blaming him, being angry at him and generally cussing him. He's not used to people trusting him, looking forward to his company and having faith in him. It's a beautiful story of self realization as Josh finally releases his anger and his angst to allow himself a new beginning in life.

Book Review
After I finished reading Cinder & Ella (which I really enjoyed) I decided to check out on emore book from this author. She did not disappoint with Sixteen Kisses. It's a really cute tale of how Cassie is lamenting never having been kissed and thinking she is going to remain Kissless Cassie forever to her best friend when her elder brother's best friend overhears her.
Jared likes Cassie but he's not sure how she will take the transition from brother's friend to boyfriend. He sets in motion a way to get her kissed 16 times on her birthday. That way she will have enough experience to know when she gets a "real" kiss. This takes Cassie through all kinds of whacky situations and kisses on her birthday. The last one is the best.

Book Description
It's been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother.

If Ella wants to escape her father's home and her awful new stepfamily, she must convince her doctors that she's capable, both physically and emotionally, of living on her own. The problem is, she's not ready yet. The only way she can think of to start healing is by reconnecting with the one person left in the world who's ever meant anything to her-her anonymous Internet best friend, Cinder. ... Hollywood sensation Brian
Oliver has a reputation for being trouble. There's major buzz around his performance in his upcoming film The Druid Prince, but his management team says he won't make the transition from teen heartthrob to serious A-list actor unless he can prove he's left his wild days behind and become a mature adult. In order to douse the flames on Brian's bad-boy reputation, his management stages a fake engagement for him to his co-star Kaylee. Brian isn't thrilled with the arrangement-or his fake fiancée-but decides he'll suffer through it if it means he'll get an Oscar nomination. Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes everything.
Book Review
I thought it would be the regular fairy tale rewrite, but this book was a pleasant surprise. There was depth of character, good plot lines and seamless story execution. Sure it's climax was a cliche, but hey that's why we love fairy tales. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Cinder and Ella is a great option for young adult readers. Look forward to the next book in the series.
