An emotionally scarred Navy SEAL.
Jaxon Thorne doesn’t believe in second chances. Not for someone like him. He screwed up too many times, burned too many bridges, and paid the price in prison. Now he’s at Valor Ridge, a remote Montana ranch for broken veterans, trying to keep his head down and his past buried. His only plan is to train dogs, stay sober, and survive the silence. Then he meets her–the café owner with wary eyes and a kid who looks at Jax like he’s a hero.
A single mom on the run.
Vanessa “Nessie” Harmon is doing everything she can to stay invisible. New name. New town. New life. She clawed her way out of hell for the sake of her son, and Solace, Montana, is supposed to be safe. Quiet. A place where no one asks too many questions. But when her past catches up to her, there’s only one man dangerous enough to protect them.
A second chance at redemption… if they survive long enough to take it.
Jax is not sure he’s built for this kind of fight anymore, but for Nessie, he’ll try. Because while Valor Ridge may have started as penance, he’s starting to believe it could become something more—a place to belong, a family he never knew he wanted, and a brotherhood he thought he’d never have again.
Finding His Redemption is the first book in the gritty, emotional Valor Ridge series. With protective heroes, loyal K9s, and a fierce sense of found family, this small-town romantic suspense will grab your heart and never let go.
Review:
A new series from Tonya Burrows? Yes, please!
Finding His Redemption is a spin off of her Redwood Coast Rescue series, and while it could be read as a standalone, Jax’s redemption will have even more impact if you’ve read Searching for Redemption and know where he started out in this world…honestly, if you had told me when I finished that book that Jax would be a future hero, IDK if I would have thought it possible.
Oh, it was so possible!
Nessa and Jax’s story was an absolute page turner–two people with such traumatic pasts, neither of whom is entirely convinced at the start of the book that they will ever even have an HEA…already my catnip. Throw in some well-written suspense and a collection of secondary characters that clearly are there to keep me coming back to future series books? I’m sold.
I mean, seriously–the guys of Valor Ridge? without exception need to have their own books. ASAP. If you’re a fan of characters with complicated histories, romantic suspense, and dogs, add this to your TBR yesterday!
