BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Vonnie Davis welcomes readers to Wounded Warrior Falls! In this sizzling contemporary series, broken heroes meet women worth fighting for—and discover the healing power of love.
Navy SEAL Dustin Frank can handle physical pain; it’s his soul that needs mending.
After losing part of his leg in an explosion, the panic triggered by his PTSD nearly drives him over the edge. So Dustin retreats to the Eagle Ridge Ranch, a charming hideaway tucked into the Hill Country of Texas. There he finds solace in the arms of a shy beauty who reawakens desires he thought he’d lost forever—and who makes him want to lose control, just when he needs it most.
Kelcee Todd sees beyond Dustin’s scars to the real man beneath: fiercely protective, strong yet tender. She wants nothing more than to feel his battle-hardened hands on her body. However, Kelcee is not the ordinary small-town girl she appears to be. Her brother is a killer with ties to the Russian mob, and after her testimony put him in prison, he’s out and eager for revenge. Now Dustin is her best defense, even if it could cost him everything. Kelcee could never ask him to make that sacrifice . . . but she can’t stop him, either.
REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts This is the first in a new series by Vonnie Davis and I so enjoyed it. Kelcee and Dustin have an instant connection even though at first it seems more antagonistic than love at first sight. Dustin is a wounded SEAL who is learning to deal with his prosthetic and wants nothing more than to get back with his team but he needs time to heal so his old commander brings him to Warrior Falls. Kelcee has issues of her own and while it is pretty obvious it is not confirmed until later in the story what has really happened to her.
I really liked the background characters in this story. ZQ is great and is a perfect commander who can be badass and sweet on the same page. JJ and Nance are adorable. Nance is a wounded vet just like the rest of the guys, doesn’t matter that she walks on four legs. She loves her boys! Junebug is a perfect southern mama. And the rest of the town is just as great.
This is a fast read which also means that the couple practically said hello and they were in love but that is ok but weirdly enough the story had a lot of repetitive moments. But even with that it is a great summer read about our heroes coming home and dealing with not only physical pain but mental.
