Warrior Rating: 3 Stars
Warrior thoughts:
I thought I knew what to expect from Nicole Blanchard & this series after the action-packed trip that Anchor was but this book still managed to surprise me. This book had me on the edge of my seat as Olivia and Ben work towards their happily ever after. I did have a thought of "this character seems to good to be true" and when the twist rolled around, I ended up being right but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book.
Tropes: Brother's Best Friend, Accidental Pregnancy, One Night Stand, Secret Baby
Valor thoughts:
Valor is a slice of life novella after the events of Warrior. I normally am not one for a slice of life novel but the main characters in Warrior go through so much that it was actually nice to read them just loving each other and their kids. I did like that Nicole Blanchard still squeezed in some action in the middle, even if everything turned out to be just fine.
Tropes: Established Couple, Pregnancy, Parenting,
Warrior Synopsis:
One night with a hero.
It was only supposed to be a fling with my brother’s best friend. The same man I’ve loved since he gave me my first kiss. I knew he was about to leave for a year, but I couldn’t let him go without showing him how I felt.
One lie that could tear us apart.
Our paths crossed again, but we’re both different people. I should have told him the truth, but I couldn’t. Not when he ignored every message I ever sent. He’s no longer the man I once knew. He’s warring with his own demons, against silence threatening to swallow him, and I know if he ever learns the truth, he will never forgive me.
One love that will have to save us.
When all I hold dear is threatened, I have only one way to repair the damage. I have to trust the man I lied to. The man I never got the chance to make a life with. The only man who could save what we created together.
Valor Synopsis:
Former MARSOC operator Benjamin Hart thought he knew everything there was to know about love. Losing it, winning it back. Now, he’ll have to learn what it will take to keep it.
Years after the conclusion of their story, Ben and Olivia are happily married with two children and are living the American Dream. The only problem is stealing moments from their busy lives for themselves.
Determined to get his wife alone, Ben whisks Livvie away to a romantic night—just the two of them and both are faced with learning what it means to live happily ever after.
This series is new to me. Wonderful review.
