Summary
He shouldn’t want her。。。
She knows he’s the one。
She’s off limits。
Besides the fact that she’s my deceased best friends sister，
she’s also way too young for me。
There’s too much between us， including the guilt that I feel every day
that I couldn’t save her brother。
But no matter what， I’m going to do as I promised。
I’m going to look out for Cora。
But soon I find that I can’t just stand by when she puts herself in danger。。。
or when another man asks her out。
I have a choice to make:
Let her go。。。 or make her mine。

Brilliant read Brilliant ending to the story Payton is riddles with guilt that he couldn’t save Cora’s brother but also the feelings he has for her and believes he shouldn’t have them。 Patton starts to work in the same hospital Cora does working with the army veterans just wanting to look out for her and keep his promise he made to her brother but working so close her is hard and with the push he needed from his army friends he acts upon his feelings。 Cora has loved Patton since she first saw hi Brilliant read Brilliant ending to the story Payton is riddles with guilt that he couldn’t save Cora’s brother but also the feelings he has for her and believes he shouldn’t have them。 Patton starts to work in the same hospital Cora does working with the army veterans just wanting to look out for her and keep his promise he made to her brother but working so close her is hard and with the push he needed from his army friends he acts upon his feelings。 Cora has loved Patton since she first saw him but since her brothers death he has become distant and then he starts working at the same hospital as her and through time they become closer even though Patton is holding back。 Cora doesn’t blame Patton for not being able to save her brother but only just realises that he does and Cora tells him and that he needs to believe it and let the guilt go that he carries with him。 。。。more

Ravaged Hero， Heroes with Heart by Hope Ford was a heart warming story about a war hero and the promise he made to his friend a fallen soldier to take care of his little sister。 It had everything I wanted it a romantic read。 Kudos。

Cora was trying to Contact Patton after her brother was killed in the war and Patton had tried to save him。 This was a story about the mental effects war has on Veterans。 Set in a romance， yet reveals how the effects of what happened in the war affects Patton。 And this how he relates to Cora。 I loved the chemistry between Cora and Patton， the push pull of the relationship but underneath it all， he just wanted to protect her and love her。 Hope Ford writes a sweet story that goes above and beyond Cora was trying to Contact Patton after her brother was killed in the war and Patton had tried to save him。 This was a story about the mental effects war has on Veterans。 Set in a romance， yet reveals how the effects of what happened in the war affects Patton。 And this how he relates to Cora。 I loved the chemistry between Cora and Patton， the push pull of the relationship but underneath it all， he just wanted to protect her and love her。 Hope Ford writes a sweet story that goes above and beyond to give us all the feels。 Great book！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Sweet， with just enough angsty bits so it's not sappy。One of the better versions of the "deceased best friend's little sister" trope。 I enjoy this author's work very much。 In spite of the shortness of the stories， she manages to get the full range of emotions to make it believable; well， once you get over the improbability of insta-love， but we wouldn't be reading these if we didn't， right？ This series， dealing with the after-effects of military service on veterans， has been emotional and sweet Sweet， with just enough angsty bits so it's not sappy。One of the better versions of the "deceased best friend's little sister" trope。 I enjoy this author's work very much。 In spite of the shortness of the stories， she manages to get the full range of emotions to make it believable; well， once you get over the improbability of insta-love， but we wouldn't be reading these if we didn't， right？ This series， dealing with the after-effects of military service on veterans， has been emotional and sweet and full of hope。I really felt that the emotions of Cora and Patton come through in the story。 Cora is a case worker for the VA。 Cora's brother， Jason， was killed in action about a year ago。 Her brother's best friend， Patton， was a medic （now a Dr at VA） and saved the other 2 of the group， but couldn't save Jason。 She is unhappy because Patton hasn't returned her phone calls for over a year since her brother's funeral， so she thinks he doesn't care about her， even though she's been in love with him for years。 Patton has been falling for Cora since he first met her， but felt that she was out of bounds because she's the sister of his buddy that he couldn't save in the military accident that killed Jason and disfigured Cole （from Book 1， Scarred Hero） and caused Jeremy to lose his legs （Book 2， Wounded Hero）。 He has been carrying a lot of guilt about not saving Jason; he promised to "look out for her" which he interprets to mean he can't have a relationship with her。 Cole sets him straight。 I don't want to give any spoilers， but of course there is an HEA！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Ravaged Hero was an amazing story in the Heroes with Heart series by Hope Ford。 Its book 3 but can be read on its own。 Cora has been in love with Patton， her brother's best friend for years。 And before her brother died he made Patton promise he would look out for and protect Cora。 When Patton takes a job at the same military hospital as Cora in order to keep her safe， will Patton finally admit his true feelings and can Cora convince him to give them a chance？ Ravaged Hero was an amazing story in the Heroes with Heart series by Hope Ford。 Its book 3 but can be read on its own。 Cora has been in love with Patton， her brother's best friend for years。 And before her brother died he made Patton promise he would look out for and protect Cora。 When Patton takes a job at the same military hospital as Cora in order to keep her safe， will Patton finally admit his true feelings and can Cora convince him to give them a chance？ 。。。more

This is the third book in the Heroes With Heart series。 All three books revolve around a platoon that suffered a terrible day that left them all feeling broken。 These are short stories， but they are all incredible and totally worth the read。 You can read them as standalones， but the characters all make an appearance in each book。 There is some steaminess， but all have a happy ending。I was given this book for free by Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving this honest review

I received this as an arc for my honest review This was a beautiful and heart wrenching brother’s best friend romance。 This was the kind of story where I wish I could give more than 5 stars。 In such a short story Hope Ford managed to make me feel such a wide range of emotions that I’m still reeling。 The relationship between Patton and Cora wasn’t straight forward but their chemistry was undeniable。 I loved everything about their way to a HEA。

Quick story about second-ish chance。 Patton is her brother’s best friend （not sure age difference there was， since Parton kept bring it up） and Cora was the little sister。 Cora fell hard to Patron but she kept her love hidden even after tragedy stuck her family。 Now a year later after not seeing nor hearing for Patton， who promised she could call him， Cora was sad。 Little did she know how close the man was。

I thought that this was an awesome book。 Cora and Patton's story was heartbreaking yet heartwarming too。 Cora and Patton have been in love with each other for years but the age difference， Cora being Patton's best friend's little sister and then the death of Cora's brother have kept them apart。 My heart broke for these two and everything they went through but really glad they finally got their HEA。 I really enjoyed this book and this series。 I would recommend this book and Ms。 Hope as an awesome I thought that this was an awesome book。 Cora and Patton's story was heartbreaking yet heartwarming too。 Cora and Patton have been in love with each other for years but the age difference， Cora being Patton's best friend's little sister and then the death of Cora's brother have kept them apart。 My heart broke for these two and everything they went through but really glad they finally got their HEA。 I really enjoyed this book and this series。 I would recommend this book and Ms。 Hope as an awesome author。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
