Saving Jake is a stunning and sweet novella. Kassi is a brave but traumatized veteran struggling to recover physically and emotionally, and she randomly ends up at the same place her ex’s brother now works at. Jake is also a war veteran recovering from his own emotional trauma while helping others. The chemistry between Jake and Kassi is a intense and well-played; author Kaci Rose has developed a sweet, realistic, and touching love story that gracefully yet directly addresses the real-life issues that veterans face when they return home. Loved this one, and can’t wait for Caden’s story! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I just love a great military after discharge books. This one hit all of the buttons! Jake is healing and suffers from PTSD. At the rehab facility, Jake has a job and that in itself helps him. Kassi meets Jake at the same rehab facility. She used to date Jake’s younger brother. This amazing book showed how vets get used to civilian life. There are many tactics used and together, the rehab center seems to work for the residents. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A wonderful addition to the Oakside Military Heroes series. Kassi has closed herself off as she is healing from a war injury. A surprising reunion with Jake whom she knew as a teenager brings some light into her darkness. Jake knows that Kassi is meant to be his and he will anything to help her heal. Great Read.
