Another great installment in the Lost and Found series. This novella focuses on Zeke, who suffered severe brain injuries while fighting in Afghanistan, and Ember, the waitress we briefly met towards the end of Embattled Hearts. While Ember treats Zeke like a regular Joe, Zeke is still weary of acting on his feelings for her. After a domestic situation comes to Zeke's attention, he finally gives into his attraction for Ember in order to protect her.Ms. Madden does an excellent job in developing her characters and making them realistic. I really felt for Zeke and his struggle with his speech and scars. I've noticed having read 3 stories in this series now that the female love interests have all dealt with in their past the physical/emotional issues that plague the men. In Embattled Hearts, Shannon had a close relative that was wheelchair bound. And in this book, Ember could handle Zeke's PTSD issues as her father also suffered from it. I liked this about the female characters. That they could deal with the issues the Lost and Found men  suffered from as they had already experienced it. It made their disabilities a non-starter really. Yes, they were part of them but it wasn't the defining thing about them.Overall, a terrific read.
