Rating: 5 out of 5

All the books in this series are so emotionally powerful in their own way. Embattled Home adds domestic violence to the already heartbreaking issues that are dealt with in this series.Chad Lowell was one of the three soldiers we met in the first book. His disability was losing his leg and burns on one side of his body. I remember Chad also being the more rational one who always tried to help his fellow injured soldiers and in this book he shows that endearing quality to a battered woman and her child by taking them under his protection.Along with the storyline of Chad and 3 others from Lost and Found Investigative Service protecting Lora and her child from her abusive husband, Duncan gets a call about his homeless vet being in the hospital in another state. In each book we get a little more information on the man and see how Duncan refuses to give up on him even though its clear the man doesn’t want his help. A new character was introduced in the LNF team and she a woman veteran who I hope gets a story in the future. We also got quite a glimpse of Preston Harper’s hard softer side (read the book you’ll understand) and a very interesting development in his story.I always come away from finishing a book in this series with an emotional feeling. The author writes her scarred and tortured heroes with such emotions you can help but be effected while reading.(note: even though this book came out release wise after Joe Flynn’s book, in the timeline its before his book so he is still single and messed up emotionally throughout this book)
