Honor's Refuge by Hallee Bridgeman

When she was just five years old, Melissa Braxton watched her father take her mother's life. Separated from her sister, Lola, at that time, Melissa grew up with a strong desire to help those stuck in abusive relationships. It's why she became a family therapist and opened a domestic abuse shelter.

After losing a leg to a gunshot wound in the line of duty, Phil Osbourne has felt like a man without a purpose--until he hears Melissa's story and decides to use his Special Forces contacts to track down her missing sister. He knows what he discovers will break Melissa's heart. What he doesn't realize is that helping the women reunite will bring the cartel down on them like the Category 5 hurricane striking Miami.

My review:  This is the third book in the Love and Honor series.  It's not necessary to read the first two to read and understand this book.  Phil's story is quite complicated. He is a former medic and Navy Seal with a background.  He lost a leg in a mission in the jungle.  He doesn't feel like he worth much without a leg.  Not a complete man.  No one would want him.  He is a dr. but working as an EMT.  Melissas runs a domestic abuse shelter and calls on Phil to help with her clients when they are afraid to go to the hospital.  This is a fast-paced story.  This is the second book I've read by Hallee Bridgeman. I recommend her to everyone.  

I was given this book by Revell Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
