Book Review: Hearts of Valor



Title: Hearts of Valor: A Sweet Romance Anthology

Author: Sharon Hughson, T.E. Holden, Philip Lisagor, Jean Young, London Saint James, and Terri Rochenski

Genre: Romance

Publisher: Roan Publishing

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

Hearts of Valor is an anthology that focuses on men of the military and the women who love them.

Each other writes a story telling about the love between the couples along with the sacrifice the heroes faced in the war. The stories  range from modern to historical times, but each one tells a beautiful tale of love.

The authors do a wonderful job of capturing the emotions of the characters. You can feel the pain and trauma the heroes faced as they fought in battle. As for the heroines, you felt the worry they had for their men. Reading their stories, you sense their emotions and your heart aches for the pain they go through.

All the stories are wonderfully written and special in their own way. A couple of my favorite stories were Hero of her Heart, Feathers, and Promises Kept.

If you're a fan of sweet, military romances, I suggest checking out Hearts of Valor.

Review: 4 stars

Hero of Her Heart - S.L. Hughson



Nicole Taylor has loved Vincent for years. Now he’s back from serving in the Army, and she’s determined to make him see her as something other than a little sister.



After a heated Valentine’s date, Nicole is confused by Vince’s withdrawal. She confronts him, but no matter how hot their physical attraction, he keeps backing away.


Nicole helps him follow his lifelong dreams but he drifts further from her happily-ever-after plans. What will it take for him to see he is truly the hero of her heart?



Feathers - T.E.Hodden

Kerry only wanted to do right by Christopher. To protect him from the whispers of 'coward' and the shame of a white feather.

But the war doesn't look like a grand adventure any more. All Kerry wants is Chris home safe. But will he still be the same man she once knew?



A Manly Man - Jean Young

Confederate POW, Braxton Bolton, had an unexpected visitor the day before his execution, when Arabella Anderson walked into his jail cell and, in front of other POWs, kissed him until he shook with desire.

Two years prior, she had been the Lieutenant Colonel’s prisoner. While she was tortured and raped by the other Confederate soldiers, Bolton was different. He protected her from further suffering, and the grateful young woman had come to repay his kindness. While they became more and more intimate, she learned the story behind his kindness.

But what she learned turned the sweet girl into a fearsome warrior, one determined to save the soldier with a noble heart.



Goin' Home - Philip Lisagor

How will Jack be able to put Iraq behind him and return home to Leah and their two children? The green peaceful coast of Ireland is the perfect landing zone from the brown violent landscape of Mesopotamia. Jack is humping ruck along the North Atlantic coast when a chance encounter with an Irish maiden turns him all around and he hears the voice of Leah in a magical moment calling him home. 



The Promise - London Saint James

The year Veronica turned twenty-two changed her life. She graduated from San Diego State University, married the handsome Lieutenant Carter Weis—widowed six months after the happy nuptials.
Captain Quinn Alstrom of the U.S. Coast Guard was eager to start his newest post; however the excitement had nothing to do with the beautiful surroundings of Key West, and everything to do with his best friend’s wife.
Will Quinn’s surprise arrival in Veronica’s life re-spark the fire in the vivacious woman he remembered? Or, will the memory of her fallen husband stop the two of them from finding happiness?   



Promises Kept - Terri Rochenski



Ever since they were kids, Joan dreamed of being Walt Herley’s wife. But, Joan's dream is short-lived when the Korean War draft has Walt trading his groom's suit for army fatigues. After a short celebration of their rushed nuptials, Walt is whisked away to fulfill his duty to his country, leaving Joan behind with a promise to return.


With her heart a world away, Joan struggles to keep her spirit afloat while praying for the war's expedient end.  Fate, however, has a plan of its own, one that threatens Joan’s faith in Walt’s promise to return.
