Not all scars are visible.

Andrew Hollister knew the wounds that make a person the most vulnerable couldn’t be seen. That last mission punched his ticket home. He’d survived when most of his team hadn’t.
The physical damage had mended. The mental injuries hadn’t healed as easily. Hell, they hadn’t healed at all.

Once burned, twice shy.

Genevieve Wheeler’s past was littered with betrayal by those closest to her and she’d sworn she’d never let anyone hurt her again. Her life was full of family, friends, and her flourishing business. The last thing she was looking for was a relationship with a broken, sexy, ranch hand.

Without the past, there is no future.

Just as life handed him a beautiful, vivacious reason to move forward, death came knocking once again. Facing his past was no longer something Andrew could avoid, and with Genevieve at his side, confronting the ghosts that haunted him was a battle he needed to win.

Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author, Kris Michaels is the alter ego of a happily married wife and mother. She writes romance, usually with characters from military and law enforcement backgrounds.

Kris was born and raised in South Dakota. She graduated many years ago from a high school class consisting of 13 students (yes that is thirteen, eleven girls, and two boys...lucky boys). She joined the military, met her husband, and traveled the world. Today she lives on the Gulf Coast and writes full time.

Kris is an avid people watcher and dreamer. The stories she writes are crafted around the hopes and dreams of a true romantic. She believes love is essential, people are beautiful, and everyone deserves a happy ending.

When she isn't writing Kris enjoys a full life revolving around family, friends, laughing, whiskey, and cold red wine. (Yes cold...don't judge.)

Andrew: He has had it rough between is past relationship and his last mission when lost most of his men. He came home to Hollister to the ranch that he grew up on. He did go into town much. When he did he went with their Forman and they went into the dinner and he discover a beautiful dark hair woman. He couldn't stop thinking about and hadn't had a reaction to women in a very long time. It was a wonderful story!

Small town, big feelings

Gen came around in Jeremiah’s book and is a great sister, aunt and friend. Now she is thriving with her business, still has some mother drama, and gets to have her HEA story. But of course there has to be some drama with it! Andrew showed up in Siege and was quite interesting with his military backstory and role in Hollister. This book focuses on that and showing how these two create a relationship. The family and mental health concerns were well developed and covered for Drew and the stalker/obsessive ex was full of what is he thinking moments. Another fun read for this world!

Ms. Micheals has done it again with this new series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

Ms. Michaels has done it again. No surprise there. We have read about the town of Hollister in the Kings of Guardian books and now we get to meet the townsfolk. Ms. Micheals has created a small town like I would imagine any small town in a rural area to be. There are town gossips, who love to sit in the Gen's diner to discuss all the goings-on. There is the mechanic who owns the gas station and leases Gen land so she can plant her garden. There is her best friend, the daughter of the grocery store owner. The is a doctor, a vet, and of course her brother Jeremiah or Remmi. Her brother and the town doctor, Zeke work for Guardian. The town recluse and a war hero and the son of the man who the town is named after.

This story is about Andrew, the recluse, and how Gen brings love and light to his life again. She saves him in many ways. He also in turn protects her from a man from her past who wants her back.

This story was full of fun, laughter, and some tears as the serious topic of suicide is brought up. Ms. Michaels did a wonderful job with this story. I definitely want to read more about the wonderfully quirky townsfolk of Hollister South Dakota. Who knows maybe even "Senior" will get his HEA.

Kris Michaels books are always a home run.

As always another book you won't want to put down. If you love romance and intrigue, you will always find it in these books. It's a stand alone book but it's even better if you read the other series Guardians 1st. If you want to read a series of books that will keep you on the edge of your seat you've found it.

Just What He Needs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

Be prepared to get misty eyed or shed tears outright while reading parts of this book. Kris Michaels does an admirable job of handling a very sensitive subject and its aftermath. It was beautifully poignant. The ravages of war and those who survive with unimaginable survivor's guilt and PTSD play an important role in Andrew. Mix in daily small town life, gossiping seniors, an unwanted persistent ex and you've got a wonderfully written romance.

Andrew Hollister has been hiding from life ever since he left the Marines after losing most of his unit and being medically discharged. Meeting and getting to know Gen Wheeler may be a saving grace for Drew. She's forthright, friendly, welcoming and sunny. Everything he's not but needs in his life. Falling for all of the six feet, seven glorious inches of Drew Hollister is no hardship. Convincing him that he won't harm her may not be easy but she's up for the task.

OMG off the charts amazeballs, Kris Michaels has done it again, Andrew and Gen met at her diner with instant chemistry, is he the shy type not looking or talking to her, she's persistent and gets a few words and secret looks from him when she's not looking, breaking the silence he talks to her some, dinner invitation is declined and eventually he's at the diner talking and being fed amazing food, HOT and spicy food, conversations, chemistry, passion, history in their pasts comes trying to bite her in the butt except Andrew takes out the trash, literally tossing her ex in the street, his military trauma and nightmares calmed down some with Gen around, very well done, the entire story, past and present with hope for the future, this has been a emotionally charged rollercoaster ride and I'm so happy to be along for the ride, thank you, Dana Zamora

Loved this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

No plot spoilers
There is a potential trigger relating to suicide but it's lightly written.
The characterisation is absolutely flawless, I've wanted Andrew's story ever since meeting him several books back when Remi moved to Hollister. The book does not disappoint!
Kris Michaels has perfected the art of making a character come to life, and each new character brings their own motivators that fuel a vibrant personality. No one could ever accuse the author of writing one dimensional characters, no matter how many books she writes.
Andrew is physically and emotionally scarred, with a bitter home life that leaves him unable to move forward. Until he meets Remi's sister, Genevive.
Gen has been in several books and her character has been a source of perpetual light, just what Andrew needs.
I found myself in the pleasant position of liking both characters immensely.
The plotline is engaging, following life events, including and little danger, and the growing love between them.
There is a little swearing and some sex scenes.
I can't recommend the author highly enough, but to obtain a full understanding of the book and all of the supporting characters it's best to read the Guardian series first, although this particular book could be read as a standalone.
Looking forward to more stories from the little town of Hollister.
However, could I beg the author for Sage's story please? I've missed him since he vanished back into the darkness he came from!

Small Town Romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

So anyone who follows my stories on Instagram will know this book made me ugly cry at the end of chapter 16!! It was sad yet beautiful (yeah, this review probably doesn’t make sense but I’m trying not to give away any spoilers) The story from start to finish is so good and I’m awestruck by anyone who can put pen to paper and make people laugh, make people feel so much that like me, you sob your heart out…..Kris Michaels has this ability in spades

There is a little cameo from one of our favourite guardians at the coffee shop which was a nice connection, we also have The Siege incident being talked about in the background to this story so although there is a connection to the guardians books, this is very much a stand-alone book, of course if you are like Edna in this book then you may feel the need to check out the guardian series to find out what was happening 😉 maybe it was aliens?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Anyways, about Andrew, this is small town romance full of quirky characters, there’s a little bit of suspense but it’s mainly centred on our H & h, Andrew (Drew) and Genevieve (Gen)
Drew is home from the marines and is struggling with PTSD, his life is the family ranch, he very rarely ventures into town.
Gen has moved away from her controlling parents or should I say parent to open a small coffee shop in Hollister.
The heat builds when these two meet, but the story is so much more, the story is about healing and finding peace with a few “obstacles” to overcome. This story does have trigger warnings, cancer is a subject that is discussed and suicide occurs off the page. Some of the love scenes are beautifully written, one scene in particular when Drew receives bad news is quite powerful…and of course we have chapter 16 (get your tissues ready 🥺😭)

Great start to the new Hollister Series, really likeable characters, can’t wait to read more!!!

Healing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

An excellent book. Continuing from Jeremiah's story set just after the events of the Seige, comes a book about conquering demons both physical and mental. No easy answers, or solutions just a day at a time.

Gen came to Hollister for a new start, Andrew came back to lose himself in the family business after the nightmare of war. Both of them have been hurt by past relationships. Separately they are just surviving. Together they can find reason to live and get better.

Like the declaimer says there are some very dark themes in this book and difficult subjects. PTSD and suicide among them.

The book is a great setup for the little town of Hollister. There seem yo be interesting times ahead, a number of great characters znd matches to be made. Two in particular I am hoping for. One seems to be set for the next book in the series.

Simply Phenomenal

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

Kris Michaels always crafts a phenomenal story and this book is no different. Andrew is home from the war but he’s a different man now. He’s hiding himself away and fighting his demons and has survivors guilt. He meets Gen and she gradually gets him to open up and return to the world. What I enjoyed most about this book is the fact that they had each other’s back, there was trust, no “miss understanding” that made them fall out and get back together. They worked the relationship, dealt with any drama’s (there were a few) and saw it through. I cried reading this book and I also laughed. Phenomenal book and can’t wait to visit Hollister again.

fantastic start to a new series

It’s great to be back in Hollister, really feels like coming home. Gen owns and runs the diner she opened after leaving her cheating ex-fiancé, Drew Hollister has returned home following a medical discharge from the Marines, unfortunately he still lives with the dreams of the incident that caused hi# discharge. They meet and are mutually attracted but have to cope with his PTSD and her idiotic ex! A great set up for the rest of the series, what I want to know is who is brave enough to take on Allison?
