Wow! Shelter for Penelope was phenomenal! I’d been eagerly anticipating the release of this book, and it totally blew me away. Moose has loved Pen for years, and she loved him also, but kept him at arms length as a friend and leaned on Smokey, what she calls her service donkey! She not only hasn’t come to terms with what happened in Turkey before she was rescued while serving in the Army, but her PTSD is getting worse and she has run from San Antonio and is traipsing around the country (fortunately Tex know where. - as always!) only calling Moose occasionally. Until she finally goes home. You do get to see some old friends, which is fun also, that try to give advise to Pen. This is a run, don’t walk, to click “buy me” button. Now if you will excuse me, I need to read it again, but need to get a new box of tissues first.

Let me start off by saying, I’m a big fan of the author and loved her series. So I have been looking forward to this book for over a year and I’m extremely disappointed. Feel like there’s a lot of filler and had to push myself to keep going to finish the book. Hoping it get better, what a let down.

This is the 15th (and last) book in the Badge of Honor series. This is Penelope and Moose’s book. Susan Stoker does an amazing job of not only showing us about the everyday hardships of PTSD but also of PostPartum Depression. Susan Stoker shows how hard each of these are and how a support system is so important. This book also has the Seals from the Seals of Protection series and the Deltas from the Delta Force Heroes as well as a few cameos of the other characters she has written about. This story, which we have waited forever for, will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page until the last page. This is an awesome read!!! She totally outdid herself!!! Can Penelope get her mind straight? Will she figure out/remember what happened back there with the terrorists? Will they survive until the end of the book? Who gets married and who’s preganant? And the most important question... why oh why is this the end of the series?? I need more! Go one click on this book!! You WILL NOT be sorry you did!! The narrator, Erin Mallon, did an awesome job!!
