She’s fighting to heal him. He’s risking everything to
protect her. In the line of fire, they’ll need a miracle to survive.
After seven years of chasing her goals, Shelly Peters is finally one interview
away from becoming a flight nurse—until a malpractice investigation and a
promise cornering her into caring for a headstrong veteran put her entire
future in jeopardy. Now, to keep her calling alive, she’ll have to break her
own rules or risk watching the man she’s falling for succumb to a fate he might
not survive.
Former soldier Clayton Briggs doesn’t just need medical care. He needs a reason
to live. Disillusioned by the IED that ended his career, Briggs will do
anything to fulfil his vow to keep his best friend’s hometown safe. But when a
new injury leaves him at the mercy of a home nurse who sees past his scars, the
battle becomes personal. To protect Shelly and his friends, he must embark on a
treacherous rescue mission and confront the one enemy he fears the most.
As the local cartel’s reach tightens and medical stakes surge, a dangerous
storm puts Shelly and Briggs in the crosshairs of a choice they can’t outrun:
cling to the safety of their shattered plans, or trust God to lead them through
the wreckage.
My Thoughts:
I cannot believe this, but this is my first author Walton story I have read. This is also the fifth in a series, and that old saying, don't judge a book by its cover, well that suits this story well. As you can see, the cover looks peaceful, but this story had a lot more danger and adventure than what I was expecting. From the very first chapter our couple who have just met in an exceptional way, not meet cute mind you, but memorable, nonetheless.
Shelly Peters is a nurse, but her dream job is to be a flight nurse. She is almost there. That is until some unsettling news surfaces and she comes across a very injured former soldier now acting bodyguard for one of her friends. That man is Clayton Briggs. Briggs, as he likes to be called is suffering from some serious PTSD among other things. He is sidelined by another serious injury while he is trying to protect his best buddy's girlfriend from some very dangerous men out for revenge. He hires Peters, what he likes to call Shelly, as his personal nurse. Their snark and banter were quite amusing and the romantic tension between these two was palpable. It really helped lighten the mood as some serious danger played out.
I really enjoyed this story and need to backtrack and read the rest of the series. I look forward to more of this author's stories.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
