Her Survivor (Black Eagle Ops #1)

Blurb:

Vonnie Davis welcomes readers to Wounded Warrior Falls! In this sizzling contemporary series, broken heroes meet women worth fighting for—and discover the healing power of love.

Navy SEAL Dustin Frank can handle physical pain; it's his soul that needs mending. After losing part of his leg in an explosion, the panic triggered by his PTSD nearly drives him over the edge. So Dustin retreats to the Eagle Ridge Ranch, a charming hideaway tucked into the Hill Country of Texas. There he finds solace in the arms of a shy beauty who reawakens desires he thought he'd lost forever—and who makes him want to lose control, just when he needs it most.

Kelcee Todd sees beyond Dustin's scars to the real man beneath: fiercely protective, strong yet tender. She wants nothing more than to feel his battle-hardened hands on her body. However, Kelcee is not the ordinary small-town girl she appears to be. Her brother is a killer with ties to the Russian mob, and after her testimony put him in prison, he's out and eager for revenge. Now Dustin is her best defense, even if it could cost him everything. Kelcee could never ask him to make that sacrifice . . . but she can't stop him, either.

Review:

While I really wanted to like this new series by an author I have enjoyed in the past, I was not able to finish the story.  There didn’t seem to be any chemistry between Dustin and Kelcee.  Also the story seemed to jump around entirely too much for my liking.  Possibly it just wasn’t the right time to read this one, so I might give it a shot again in the future.  But for now, I have to give this one a failing grade and mark it Did-Not-Finish after about 30% of the book.  I enjoyed the bear-shifter series by Ms. Davis in the past, and wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it just didn’t click for me.
