An elite warrior struggling to find his place in the civilian world.
Weary from his years on the battlefield, SF Captain Beckett Hollister has returned home to Crimson Point to take over the family business for his dying father. But adjusting to life outside the military is harder than he imagined, and being back home forces him to confront things he’d rather not face. Including the one woman he shouldn’t want and can’t have—his best friend’s little sister.
A love that was always meant to be.
Town vet Sierra Buchanan has known Beckett her entire life. She’s crushed on him for years, but because of his relationship with her family, the stubborn man refuses to see her as more than the girl he grew up with. As tragedy brings them together, neither of them realizes that the sins of Beckett’s past have come home to haunt him. When Sierra becomes the target of his unforeseen enemy, Beckett must vanquish his demons to save her.

A short review to update challenges
I wanted to get Fractured Honor for review when it was released but my schedule was too full. Now the second book in the Crimson Point series is being released so I was thrilled to grab this at the library before reading it.
Romantic suspense is a favorite genre. In this series, we have some military guys coming back to their home town. I loved the characters and their close relationships with family and friends. They all have occupations and lives which are realistic and their emotions feel authentic. The setting is a small oceanfront town in Oregon, so it’s gorgeous.
Both Beckett and Sierra are great. I like them and their compassion for others. I thought the reason Beckett had for not having a relationship was bullshit but at least he got over it. Beckett’s interactions with his neighbors are precious. I loved them. The series is off to a solid start.
There was nothing worse than being lonely when you were with your partner.

I’m reading her Titanium Security series right now with one of my Goodreads groups so I’m interested in this one. Glad you enjoyed the first book.
I’ve read the first few in that series and enjoyed them. I always hope to get back to the series.
I’ve been meaning to try her books for ages. I think I have one on the Kindle, even. But, a new series like this has the bright and shiny appeal. 🙂
I’ve read pieces of each of her series, as the first book in most of the series is free, at least sometimes. I like them.
Reading the reviews backwards, but yep this is in my wheelhouse.
She’s a Canadian author. I found her by reading one of her first in the series as a freebie and really liked it. So now I watch for her releases.
