This collection includes:
A Lover's Lament KL Grayson & BT Urruela: Katie Devora's entire world changed in a matter of seconds. In her grief, she sent a letter to the first boy she ever loved. She hoped in writing it she'd find some peace from the nightmare she was living, some solace in her anger. What she didn't expect was for Sgt Devin Clay to write back. She wasn't prepared for his words, and she certainly wasn't ready for the impact this soldier would have on her life.
Making Faces Amy Harmon: Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.
Here with Me Heidi McLaughlin: After serving on a special mission with the military for six years, Evan Archer returns home to find the unthinkable - the love of his life, Ryley Clarke - engaged to his brother, Nate. With Nate on deployment, Evan needs to figure out what happened in his absence, and more importantly, how to win Ryley back from the man he once considered his best friend, but now thinks of as his rival.
Nobody's Hero Kallypso Masters: Retired Marine Adam Montague survived many war zones—but can he survive the war Karla Paxton has declared on his heart? Will he be able to surrender to her and lay his ghosts to rest? Karla fell in love with Adam when she was 16; nine years later, she's determined to make 50-year-old Adam see her as a woman. But she had no idea he ran a BDSM club. Can she submit to his dominant personality?
The Vixen and the Vet Katy Regnery: When beautiful, ambitious reporter Savannah Carmichael approaches mysterious, wounded war hero Asher Lee for an interview, she never expects to fall for him, but she does. Savannah and Asher's love flourishes within the safe confines of his private mansion. But as a very different news story begins to take shape, Savannah will have to choose between her ambition and her heart.

My review of A Lover's Lament by KL Grayson & B.T. Urruela
“Love doesn’t have an expiration date, Katie. There is no cookie cutter for it, and there sure as hell aren’t any instructions. It just is. Who says you can’t fall in love with someone who has already broken your heart? Who says you can’t move on and then fall in love all over again from thousands of miles away via letters and emails? That’s the great thing about love…it finds you. And when it’s true love, it doesn’t just go away, and you just know. You don’t have to wonder or guess, because it just….is”
Stunning. Amazing. Beautifully Written. Rendered Speechless. In Awe. These are the first words that come to mind when I think of my thoughts and feelings towards this book. When I first found out about this book, I was intrigued. It’s no secret that I am a big fan of KL Grayson and when I heard that she was teaming up with BT Urruela to write a story, I knew I had to read it. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
I’ve only had a hand full of books that have just taken my breath away and that have left me speechless. This is one of them. As I’m sitting here trying to write this review, I am trying to think of how to put my thoughts and feelings into words. This is one of those books that I just feel words can not describe it. It’s one of those books that you just have to read and experience for yourself.
A Lover’s Lament is the first collaboration for KL Grayson and BT Urruela and boy has it knocked my socks off. These two make such a great writing team. You can tell that they really put their hearts and souls into the words that they wrote. The characters are real, raw and honest. From the first moment I met Devin and Katie, I was hooked. Their story captured my heart and burned its way into my soul. I couldn’t get enough of the two of them. Their chemistry and connection, strong enough to withstand all the years they were separated. What they shared was undeniable. I just had to keep reading. I had to see how things would go; how they would play out. My emotions were all over the place. KL Grayson and BT Urruela made me feel so many things. And I know this is one story that I will never forget.
A Lover’s Lament is well written, captivating, and is told from dual points of view. It is so much more than just a love story. This is a story about second chances, regret, loss, finding ones self again, forgiveness, hope, and fate. Katie and Devin’s story is everything. I loved everything about their story from start to finish and did not want it to end. I am blown away by the beauty and honesty of this story. I am just in awe of KL Grayson and BT Urruela and I hope, I hope that these two will write together again in the future.

A LOVER'S LAMENT by KL Grayson & BT Urruela
ONE OF MY TOP READS OF THE YEAR!!
This book was beyond amazing. It was extremely well written. I am still very overcome with emotion from this heart wrenching story. This story had everything...first loves, family, true loves, heartbreak, tragedy, loss, war, friendships, hatred, forgiveness, second chances, living, believing in yourself, strength, prayer and believing in a high power. While it was a very emotional story to read (Kleenex needed!), it did have some humor & sexy moments as well.
I fell in love with these characters and I felt like I was right there with them, I was pulled into this story from the very beginning. Devin & Katie's story is one that will be with me always.
I really enjoyed the secondary characters too, especially Maggie and Navas. I hope to see a story for Navas in the future.
KL Grayson & BT Urruela are a great writing team and I hope to read more from them both, whether together or individually.
**Also don't miss A Lover's Lament Soundtrack on Spotify, it is awesome! I listened to it prior to reading the book and as I read the book I could hear those songs throughout the book in the background. Perfectly chosen songs! Awesome teamwork KL Grayson & BT Urruela!

Just reading that forward I was touched beyond words. To go through what BT went through and to come out on top was inspirational. I thank him and every other man and woman who put their lives on the line for the freedom some of us take for granted. You are all my heroes.
**My review is for 2 of the stories - A Lover's Lament & Here with Me.**
A Lover's Lament by KL Grayson & B.T. Urruela
This was real and raw. It was amazing and beautiful. It was emotional and heartfelt.
This story was well written and pulled me in from the first page. It brought out real emotions and tugged on my heart. It was a story of real heroes and second chances.
“Love has no expiration date, Katie.”
No truer words have been said. Their journey wasn’t easy by any means but that’s what real life is about. Struggling and finding your normal and having the one person who is you other half and you love above all else.
I loved this story and hope that these two collaborate again in the future. The writing was seemless and flowed from page to page. I loved this story.
Here With Me by Heidi McLaughlin
WOW just wow. This book by far was Heidi's best book I've ever read and that says something since I LOVE all that she writes. I was on the edge of my seat from page one till the very end. I kept trying to read faster to see what would happen next. Literally I couldn't put this down and read it in one sitting.
Heidi made you think and question everything. I kept saying why and how did this happen, over and over again. I felt hurt, sad, hope, happy, anger and love. This story pulls you in and never lets you go. I still have this story with me and can't wait to read what happens next.
My heart broke a thousand times for what Evan went through. What him and Ryley are still going through. For EJ and this little boy in the middle of everything. He's young and resilient no doubt. As for Nate I'm still on the fence if he knew or not. I guess we will find out in book two.
Yes there was a cliffhanger. And I hate them but it was done so well that I'm not that mad. LOL I can't wait for the continuation of this story and hopefully many questions answered!

My review is for Here with Me by Heidi McLaughlin
Will add more when I read the rest
Here With Me
I absolutely could not put this book down. I finished in one day. You could feel the love between Evan and Ryley. This emotional as well as a mystery as to what happened to Evan. I can't wait to see what happens when Choose me comes out next. Another amazing story by Heidi.
The Vixen & The Vet by Katy Regnery
What an amazing story that got me hooked from page 1. Savannah fell in love but was betrayed by her boyfriend and her career was tarnished. Going home was the last thing Savannah wanted to do, but she would help her sister Scarlet plan her weeding. When an unexpected call has Savannah hoping she can get her career back on track, she what's too interview Asher Lee a military vet who was discharged after a horrible accident in Afghanistan. Asher Lee has been left alone because how everyone sees him, he feels he just has to shut everyone out because how they can't even look at him. Everything changes the day Savannah knocks on his door. He sees her from a distant and he feels something he never thought he feel again. He agrees to the interview after some arm twisting form Mrs. Potts. Instant connection from the beginning and Savannah doesn't look at him like she is disgusted by him. Their feelings for each other grow quickly but when Savannah editor tells her to write a different story she just might regret her choice. Really love this book, you can feel the emotions of what Savannah & Asher are going through. I can't wait to read more of Katy books

My Review of A Lover's Lament.
KL Grayson and BT Urruela created something so special. This story is just amazing. It is beautifully written and will keep you glued to the pages. The two POV's are perfection. They flow so gracefully into one another that you would never know that it was written by two different people. I'm simply in awe of their talent.
Katie and Devin have known each other most of their lives. Best friends turned first loves. Devin has to move and they are torn apart.
Fast Forward 10 years and circumstances bring them back in each other's lives.
It is a stunning story of love, lust, loss, humor, sadness, all the feels that make up a really great story.
This is definitely a book everyone needs to read.
5 Stars is not a high enough ranking!!

Coming home
Loved all the books in this collection, will say that these are standalone or first in the series apart from Kallypso Masters Nobody's hero, I would definitely recommend reading her Master at Arms/Nobody's Angel first as you get the back story of Adam and Karla. Will definitely be reading these authors again. Such a great collection and for such a good cause.

Review for A Lover's Lament other reviews will be posted later.
I could not pass up a collection of Military books and plus the money went to a good cause. I am enjoying being introduced to authors I have never read before. K.L. Grayson and B.T. Urruela did not disappoint. They did a great job pulling me into the story and made me feel like I was there as everything unfolded and felt every emotion Devon and Katie were going through.
Katie and Devon have been friends since she busted his lip in the first grade. You see Katie was a tomboy and didn’t back down when pushed far enough. Katie and Devon grew up and into each others arms. However, their love would not be strong enough to keep them together when his mother moved them 800 miles away from Katie leaving Katie devastated and heartbroken. Devon didn’t want to go but knew he was not the guy for Katie she deserved better in his eyes.
After a life changing event in Katie’s life she found herself staring at a list of solder’s name to write to but the only name she could see was Devon’s the question was does she write him or one of the other solder’s on this sheet. WELLLLL she not only decided to write to Devon and unload everything that she felt and was going through. What she did not expect was to have Devon write back. The words these two had for each other were powerful. She had her own life but having Devon back getting a second chance could change her entire world.
The chemistry between Devon and Katie was amazing. To watch them build back trust and learn who each other were now that they were no longer kids just through the letters, emails, and video chats was great. Not only did I enjoy Devon and Katie but seeing the interactions between Devon and/or Katie’s and their best friend Navas, Magie, and even Bailey Katie’s sister interactions was wonderful. The last chapters and epilogue had me in tears after everything these two had been through now this NO NO NO! Great job and loved the duel POV. Wonderful second chance story you never know how long you have so make the most of what you have with those you love.
My favorite line in the book:
“Love doesn’t have and expiration date, Katie. There is no cookie cutter for it, and there sure as hell aren’t instructions. It just is…”

This is such a great compilation of beautiful and touching stories written by amazingly talented authors.
I absolutely love the charity aspect behind it and am really glad to support it.
Before this boxed set has been released, I've only read two of the books - The Vixen and the Vet by Katy Regnery and Making Faces by Amy Harmon. They are among my all time favorite stories, hands down. I love them with all my heart!
I was really looking forward to read the remaining books since K.L. Grayson & B.T. Urruela as well as Heidi McLaughlin were completely new authors to me. I have to say that A Lover's Lament and Here with Me have both blown my mind. I have devoured both books within just a few hours!
The only book still left for me to read is Nobody's Hero by Kallypso Masters and I'm really intrigued to find out what happens in that story. The blurb is very promising ...
I recommend this boxed set from the bottom of my heart. You don't only get 5 novels for a fantastic price here but you are also supporting a great cause with your purchase. What are you waiting for? Grab your copy now!

An anthology for a great cause!
A Lover's Lament- really good book, well written and page turning. Full review on the original book page.
Making Faces- another good book. I'm sensitive to books that have 9/11 in a plot, and I felt she did a great job and didn't exploit it at all. The book makes you appreciate all you have and don't have.
Nobody's Perfect- book 2 of a series. Beware- A lot of rambling, inner thoughts galore. A few scenes didn't sit well with me, such as Adam essentially forcing Karla into a M/s situation, knowing full well that she'd do anything, even going against her nature, to have him. and I'm a fan of bdsm books. Just a warning, this series is never ending. Story lines are never wrapped up, couples from previous books pop up with no relation to what's going on in the current book, and it takes close to a year and a half for a new book to be released.
The Vixen and the Vet- very good book, nicely paced and well written.

I was so excited for this collaboration and the opportunity to support VETSports with my purchase! I had already read 3 of the books and look forward to the other two.
Here's my original review of "A Lover's Lament" by KL Grayson & BT Urruela:
After meeting BT Urruela and following him on Facebook , I was anxious for this book to be published. I read A Lover's Lament in 3 days and then began reading it again at a much slower pace. You don't just read this book, you feel it, or maybe I did because there was a similarity to a time in my life. Whether you can relate to the events or not, it will take you on a full spectrum of emotions from where Katie & Devin started to The End. A wonderful collaboration by KL Grayson & BT Urruela. I look forward to more from these two authors, together & individually. Be sure to have some tissues on hand!!!

What a great grouping of stories. Every single story touched on the military in some way, shape or form. You have your second chance love in A Place to Call Home when Cobi returns home for her brother’s funeral. The Country Music star that re-evaluates his life after a concert overseas makes him realize what the soldiers really sacrifice for the freedom of the citizens of the USA in Lead Me Home. A wounded warrior who returns home to conquer his PTSD and return to life with his long time love to start living like a ‘normal’ civilian again in Courageous.
This Anthology has everything, and leaves you wanting more. I seriously want every author to write a full length about each of these couples so I can see what happens next.

I read all the books, and they all are great, well written and have added to my admiration. I wont review all of them just my favorite of the all, Lover's Lament by K.L. Greyson and B.T Urruela. The book managed to snag my imagination from the first page to the last on, Their story is amazing and that their love survived 10 years away from one another, a war and other things that I wont mention here is amazing.
Dev and Katie left a wonderful warm impression on me as they struggled with feeling and came to know each other again and again. It also helped me understand what our Heroes go through during War, not that I will ever fully grasp it, but it helps. So K.L and B.T. thank you for a well written book that took me on a magical trip.

This was a fantastic collection of full length novels with a military theme. The proceeds all go to a wonderful organization called VetSports that helps veterans transition from military life to civilian life through sports and community involvement. I loved each and every one of these beautifully written novels! I got a little side-tracked after reading "Here With Me" because it ended on a cliffhanger, so I had to go purchase and read the conclusion of that story in a different novel. However, after that, I got right back to Coming Home to finish the last two novels. Each one was special in its own way and they were all so different from one another. I would highly recommend this extraordinary collection of amazing novels!!

Where do I start? Truly truly loved this read. I had read a few of these stories before but read them all again and they were even better the second time around. First time reading the Vixen & the vet, holy wow! I could not stop reading. An absolutely beautiful heartfelt emotional read, beautifully written I was a blubbering wreck come the end. Each and every story was telling us what these brave soldiers, no! Hero's have done for us, these may be beautiful romance novels to us but these novels also truly relate to actual lives. Fantastic read well worth more than I paid

A Lovers Lament was one of the sweetest books I have read. I love how the perspectives were told by both a male and female author. It added an additional depth that I did not expect. I highly recommend this book!

I absolutely love Making Faces and A Lover's Lament, which were the reason why I bought this collection to support the cause they were put together for. And I was hoping to discover more books that are equally awesome.
Well, my 5 stars are for those two books only and if you haven't read them yet, I can highly recommend them! The Vixen and the Vet was ok, too, but I did not get into the other two books that much. I'm a bit sad they don't come close, I had high hopes!

Review for entire coming home series
BT Ureala really out did himself with some fantastic books in this compilation. The Kalypso Masters book was the only darker themed book with BDSM and while that is not my preference to read I think it provided a bit of variety that others would look for. The other stories are some of the best writing and story lines I've encounteredin the world of romance!

Awesome, amazing book.
I love, love, love this book. Several stories about vets coming home, the different situations they face, and finding love. I laughed and I cried. These stories touched my heart. If you like romance and/or military romance, you'll love this book. And the proceeds go to a great vet organization.

If you love great stories about love, redemption and happily ever after, you must read this. I have laughed and cried and laughed again with all the characters in these books. And best of all I have found some new to me amazing authors. The proceeds from this book goes to help veterans and that's the best reason to purchase it.

No longer available
I bought this collection for two reasons, all 100% of the proceeds went to a veterans charity, and I love military stories. What I DID NOT love was that book three, Here With Me, is a cliffhanger, and after tears and a lot of time, if I wanted to finish the story, I could for $3.99. I don't think cliffangers belong in an anthology to raise money for Vets.

Phenomenal
Every story has that Happily ever after with the anguish of finding that true and everlasting love. Tears and laughter in each story with a huge dose of awwww. My kind of story. Thank you to all of the authors for sharing this book with us, the fans. And thank you to ALL of our service men and women for all that you do and have sacrificed.

This is a fabulous compilation of military romance novels. Each contribution provides a different perspective of military and civilian perspectives, from returning home injured to returning home as the ghost who was already buried. Each novel brings its own game to the field and truly celebrates a good sense of love, life, and longevity.
