Blurb
With Emily Riley’s love, Iraqi War veteran Jason Donahue learns that it’s what inside a man’s heart that shines through and makes him worthy of a blissful forever.
WOUNDED BUT VICTORIOUS
After three agonizing years of surgeries and rehab, U.S. Army veteran Jason Donahue is ready to leave the Iraq War in the past and rejoin society. Yet, no matter the success he achieves at work, people wince every time they see him.
Everyone but Emily Riley. From the first, the beautiful redhead looks past his disfigurement and sees him. In return, Jason wants to buy her everything she deserves, starting with her dream home and going from there. Yet Emily has scars of her own, a past she’s not ready to reveal. Only when they both come clean, when they view each other through eyes of trust and love, will they know that, when a good man and a good woman give each other their heart, the two will always have more than enough.

Our Review
This is the first book I have read of Emily's and
almost from the start I was hooked. As an
Army
Veteran myself I immediately connected with
Jason. I have an unending love for our soldiers
for
our wounded warriors and Jason and what he
went through just went straight to my heart
. Emily, oh spunky, heart of gold Emily - it
takes a
strong woman to fall for a man who has been
through what Jason has been through and
Emily
is that woman.
But...... what would a story be without secrets
, without issues, without a past... And both of
them
have them. Can they overcome them... Well I
certainly am not going to spoil it for you. LOL
you have to read the book to find out.
I will tell you that this is one amazing story. I
am a
huge supporter of the Wounded Warrior
Project
and this story has not one, not two, but three
wounded warriors in it. Each with varying
degree's of injuries or PTSD and there are
scenes
in here that will have you running for your
tissue
box. It shows their struggles after the war, how
they see themselves, how others see them.
The story is mainly about Jason and Emily and
their budding and struggling relationship. The
insecurities they have about themselves and
with
each other. And of course a big secret that one
of
them has and an obsession that the other has. It
all
comes to a really big head and as we all know
that
usually means trouble. But, this story does
have a
happy ending.
No wait this story has a FABULOUS
ending..........
