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.

Ms. Micheals has done it again with this new series

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2022

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.

Just What He Needs

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

Another Winner!

Kris Michaels can really write amazing books.

Though this book deals with some preety harsh topics (PTSD and suicide), Kris Michaels handles them beautifully. I love that she may give her heroes some issues (physical or mental) but she always gives them help in one form or another. In this case, Andrew gets Gen and her brother. It's a fantastic story, but I will admit that I only read it hoping for Guardian cameos though as I read I quickly forgot about the cameos I was hoping for. Andrew's journey is not an easy one but Hollister is behind him and love always eases the way.

Grab any Kris Michaels' book and be prepared - once you read one, you'll be hooked.

Every single book Kris Michaels writes grabs me from page one, and Andrew is no different. Loved meeting him in The Siege, the end of the guardian series, and getting to know him as the start of a new series. You’ll feel all the feels!!! Suicide is a topic in the book. It’s not described but someone does commit suicide, and you experience the hurt through other characters eyes. It’s not a long, drawn out topic, but it does come up. If that’s triggering for you, be prepared. It’s an AMAZING book and ends wonderfully happy with so much more I want to know as the series continues!!! Loved that Jeremiah from Guardian is able to help Andrew! I can go in and on. Ten stars!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

And she does it again!

Another well written story. This book tackles some tough subjects - PTSD, suicide. There are appearances by several Guardians. The love story between Drew and Gen made my heart sigh. The love Drew had for Gunny, who had served under him, moved me to tears, at one point I had to set the book down to ugly cry. This book definitely gives tremendous insight to the difficulties our veterans often struggle with after returning from combat. There were some make you laugh moments, too, I mean aliens? I can't wait for more of this series!

Andrew and Genevieve

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a fantastic start to a new series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Always hate to read how our service members suffer greatly when they are discharged, whether mental or health issues. Gunny was a hero regardless of what he did, but I for one can understand his mindset. Genevieve is not only an amazing business woman, but loving and caring of her customers, even Edna. Her ex boyfriend is one for the record books and thinks pretty highly of himself, but actually turns out to be a complete moron. Happy reading.

What a book

Kris Michaels has given life to many heroes in the Guardian world, but Andrew Hollister?
Oh my. This is one great hero, and one great story.
Delicate subjects are dealt with in a straight forward and an insightful manner.
This is a story of a journey into and out of the darkest hell no one should ever see.
Heart wrenching, but leaves you with the firm belief that love can heal the worst wounds.
Without a doubt, this book should be on every ones must read list.

Loved this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 26, 2022

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!

Healing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2022

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

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?

Can he heal back in Hollister?

Corrie is exactly what Drew needs, she is there for support but adds no pressure, holds him with no judgement, nudges when needed, is strong enough to look out for herself but brave enough to ask for help when she needs it.
An intriguing start to the Hollister series this does have ties to the Guardian series but it is a standalone, you don't need to have read the Guardian series first...although it may add to your enjoyment if you have!
