My ‘Blogging Reader’s Review’ after reading ‘WOUNDED COURAGE' by Author S.M. BUTLER (via: Booksmoviesfandoms.wordpress.c o m):I was thrilled to be invited to get the chance to read and review an ARC early-copy of the sequel novel in the Lucky Thirteen Series titled ‘Wounded Courage’ by author S.M. Butler.  The first novel, ‘Killing Honor’ followed the story of Brody and Devyn, while this second novel follows Addison Hardy and SEAL Eamon Murphy, which we got slightly familiar with in novel one.  You’ll be reading ‘ Wounded Courage’ through the two P.O.V.’s(point of views) of Addison and Murphy.The international crime group, the Giroux family, took a loss in ‘Killing Honor’ but their story did not end there.  SEAL Team Thirteen were sent on a rescue mission but did not expect to rescue someone who was also in the home of Alex Giroux, the son of crime family leader, Simon Giroux.  The unexpected rescued-survivor was Addison Hardy, the twin-sister of SEAL Team Thirteen’s member, Chris Hardy.  Addison was in France for the university exchange program as far as her family knew but they had no idea that Addison had any connection to the Giroux family or that she was dating Alex Giroux.Addison Hardy has always lived in the shadows of her family’s pride and joy twin-brother, Chris Hardy.  She took a chance and got tied with a handsome french man who unfortunately was the son of a ruthless man and a part of a criminal family.  When she is rescued by her brother, his best friend and the rest of SEAL Team Thirteen, they must find out what she was doing with that group of people.  Being held in the custody of SEAL member’s Chris Hardy and Eamon Murphy, she has to try her hardest to tell them what she can to keep from being sent to prison but not enough to risk her life.  All the while, being reunited with her long time crush, Eamon Murphy who happens to be her brother’s longtime best-friend, old feelings resurface in full force once again.Eamon Murphy did not expect to find Addison with the Giroux family.  Seeing her reminded him of the girl who had always been off-limits to him even though he always wanted her.  But the only thing that bothered him now besides trying to keep his feelings hidden, was his question of why Addison was in the company of international criminals.  He needs to get Addison to trust him enough to tell him what her ties are with The Giroux family.  With his devotion to his duty as a Navy SEAL, he is torn between her and that duty.Simon Giroux knows Addison is out there and he wants to get to her because of what she knows and has. His enemies are also dead-set on getting to her too, if they can.  The U.S. Government is determined to find out what Intel she can offer them and plan to keep her in custody to find out.  But Addison is undaunted and plans to keep her secrets to herself regardless of everyone seeking to know what she knows.  The growing feelings  that Eamon Murphy and Addison Hardy feel for each other are hard to ignore as their resolve breaks little by little with each day they spend near each other. Can Murphy protect Addison from everyone, including herself?  Will Addison ever trust Murphy and her brother enough to let them know her secrets?  This is a fantastic military-romance series and I do recommend it because it not only has hot-romance but also action, mystery and suspense.  Can’t wait for the next novel in this series!My Blogging Reader's Star Rating for 'WOUNDED COURAGE' is 4 out of 5 stars! :)Visit my Blog and see Memorable quotes and character photos of how I imagined them while reading WOUNDED COURAGE.
