Marshall ‘Grill’ Webber grew up without a father. His mother died when he was only six years old, leaving him to be raised by his aunt.

Not knowing who his father was and watching his mother slowly give up on life, shaped him into the man he was today:-

a proud soldier, a more than competent sniper and a fiercely loyal member of Team FIVE. Grill went about living life the best he could with his mates, and the family he’d found in the Wounded Souls. Life was pretty darn good, until a mercy mission to help with the worst bushfires in Australia’s history led him to a night with a gorgeous brunette, a night he would never forget.

Adeline Welham was a loner; she believed her life was better that way, loving people wasn’t something she knew how to do.

Volunteering to help burnt and injured animals was her duty and she proudly did anything she could to help. One night she offered herself to a sexy soldier with deep chocolate eyes and an even deeper voice. It was only meant to be one night, who knew it would follow her home and turn her quiet life upside down?

Two people, both stubborn, both looking for something to make them feel complete. The only thing was, could it be the same thing?

May be spoilers:

Grill is the 3rd in the Wounded Sons series. It has 23 chapters with an epilogue and is about Addy and Grill.

I’m a huge fan of this author. I would definitely recommend reading this series in order and I would definitely think about reading Wounded Souls first.

I love seeing previous characters. Love the world building.

Addy and Grill met in Australia, felt a connection and had a night together.

Neither gave their complete name, which made it hard for Grill to find her, and boy did he try.

I love that he never gave up on looking for her.

Takes him 4 months, with some help, to find her.

I loved this story. Kept my attention from the very first.

She was more hesitant to believe in love because of her own past, but Grill did not give up. He was all in.

Such a great read. Flows well.

Past connections that came out, really awesome. Great story line.

Definitely feel the emotions of the characters.

No cheating, no ow/om drama, 4 month separation-then by distance only.

Epilogue is a few weeks out. They are engaged and just giving birth to a baby girl. I wish for a further out epilogue, however, it is a continuous world, so I’m sure we’ll see them in future stories.

Missed the deleted scene: Five months out and they are married. Don’t forget to read that one, it’s a good one.

Loved it and can’t wait for the next. I gave it 🌟🌟🌟🌟. Thanks for reading. If you haven’t read anything else by this author, you need to change that.
