Tagged For A New Start
Evangeline Jackson has never known loneliness like she’s experienced after her best friend moved to the US permanently. Although Evy has a daughter she loves, she can’t help but feel a big black hole opening, swallowing her happiness. Talking regularly to Tank, a soldier halfway across the world, doesn’t do much to lighten the lonely hours. Besides… You cannot fall in love via video chat, can you? Private First Class Thomas ‘Tank’ Michaels never thought there’d be a woman out there for him—until he decided to take care of a pregnant, broken girl. It was nothing more than a dinner at a diner, yet even months later he cannot let go of thoughts of Evy. Fate seems to be on his side when Evy gets offered a job right there in Monterey. Tank’s set on making sure she can stay—and that she’ll see what’s really in his heart. Left with no choice but to depend on others for their happiness, Evy and Tank try to navigate their way toward a new start—or will it be the final ending of their story? Author's This is NOT a standalone. Story might get confusing if Tagged For Life and Forever Girl haven't been read before.

It feels like so long ago that I read the first 2 books, but I jumped back in with book 3 easily. This is Tank and Evy's story. It's two lost souls coming together who don't think the deserve love. Their story is quite simple, but they need to prove to no one other than themselves that they deserve to be happy. If you like a soldier romance then this is a series for you.

Hmm, this 'Tagged Soldiers' series is a different kind of book series. About 10-12 days ago I completed this series and I have a lot of things to say about the series. Collectively I would say my review is 4.3 stars.
Distinctively my review for the book are:
#1: Tagged for Life: 4.3 stars
#2: Forever Girl: 4.2 stars
#3: Tagged for A New Start: 4.4 stars
#4: Forever Try: 4.3 stars
There are a lot of romance writers in the world and I have read thousands of them, but there are few authors who have some kind of uniqueness and I think that in my opinion, Sam is one of them. She has a kind of tenacity in her romance that makes her books different from all others in the same genre. Collectively speaking about this series, I loved this new angle of Love. How author described the new layouts the new horizons that no one had to think about. That is the true reason why we say no one chooses to do love, you actually fall in love because you don't have any control over that. This whole series is actually about this very essence of love.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here's my opinion about the books in the series, separately:
#1: Tagged for Life:
You can't control the love, in fact, love controls you. I really liked the story of both the characters Jazz & Tessa in the book. This book is actually full of every human emotion available. I had tears in my eyes in some scenes. I was laughing with them, falling in love with them. This book has a very beautiful story, that connects to your deepest part of your heart. The way both the characters fall for each other while reading this story I was falling for the book. The intensity of there love can't be measured it can be felt only. I just remembered my favourite quote by Helen Keller:
"Most beautiful things in the world can neither be seen nor touched, they can be just felt in the heart."
Same way the essence of the book, the love of the characters can be felt only. The real love never leaves you, once it colours you on its own then there is no turning back and that what Sam is trying to in this book. I think in my opinion that's the very best reason she named this book 'Tagged for Life'.
#2: Forever Girl:
Sam, really touched a part in romance that other authors don't wanna touch easily because it has the tendency to backfire if not handled and written correctly. But that can't happen in the case of Sam. This book is the further story of our gracious characters Jazz & Tessa. But this book contains a little darkness in it. PTSD is common in the soldiers returning from war and Sam chose this as the background of her book. This is quite an incredible plot she chose and she did great justice to it. The author really outdid herself by this book. Jazz suffering from PTSD and that's quite a challenge to live a normal life.
I really appreciate the author how she explained about PTSD. Her knowledge, the words she used, the way she described the story, wrote the scenes that really shows how incredibly she did her research on the topic before writing this book. I loved this one and no doubt in it.
#3: Tagged for a New Start:
Well, this was a change and I would say it felt like a breath of fresh air. More characters in the story and with the old ones. Eternal love & emotions are the most important part of Sam's book and that is an essential and unbreakable part of her books. The new characters in the book Evie & Tank are so lovely. I really connected with them.
When I read a book in this series after completing the book I always feel now what is going to be the next in the series and Sam always has arrows in her arsenal and the new ones'. She just creates a spell of her books, with a strong plot, awesome story, adorable characters and heart-wrenching scenes and breathtaking dialogues.
#4: Forever Try:
This book is the fourth instalment in the Tagged Series and it feels like that Sam really put her heart out in the series, no filters, no more secret just the truth the complete truth 'Unfiltered'. Somewhere on the Social network, I read that this book is going to be the last in the series if it so then I'm really disappointed about that. I don't want her to stop writing Tagged Series.
Coming back to this book, there are all new characters in the book this time again, 'Aimie' & 'Ryan'. After I completed the book I had a strong thought, really an institution that is this story real? The way author used the word, wrote the dialogues and scenes were created in the book, I had a very strong feeling is that Author took this story from a real life and represented on the book. In the chapters the way Sam described the scenes, the details... they are so much peculiar that made me feel this book is inspired by a real life or real incident.
I like the thought process of Ryan and her feelings about Aimee. The way he decides to get her, commendable. And in this book, Sam really covered the after marriage life. The marital problems and the couple, how they tackle the problems as a person and as a couple that was written just wow. I loved this book so much!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to say few words about Sam and the Tagged Soldier Series. By this 'Tagged Soldier' series Sam tried to show a different kind of love and the feeling of people. Her insight on few thoughts in the book was not expected and very beautiful. I loved those part so much. This whole Tagged series is a mix of many emotions that will definitely make a home in your heart and mind and the effect of those feeling are not going to fade, I'm sure about that.
Just don't think further and go, grab these beauties and read them! May you realise after reading that what you were missing really.

Tagged For a New Start was a wonderful addition to the tagged series. Where the story is not about Jazz and Tessa this time, its equally as amazing. Plus, you get to see Jazz and Tessa in it too!
This book follows the story of Tank and Evie. Jazz always seemed like the jerk, but there has always been something about him...something under his hard exterior that just drew me in from the beginning. Here, you get to see that hard shell cracking, and you get to see what he is really all about. There is so much more to him than meets the eye, and I've grown to love his character so much.
The story is emotional, as is the other books in the series, and constantly tugs on your heartstrings. Sam's writing makes you FEEL, no matter the emotion, which is so important when reading a book.
I adore Evie in this book too. She has such a big heart, and really works for what she wants, no matter how impossible it may seem.
Every book written in this series leaves me desperately wanting more, and I can only hope it will go on for a very long time.

I was super lucky to receive a very early ARC of this book. But being one of the girls I should totally get early access. ;)
I’ve always been intrigued by Tank. I could see something in him that made me think he wasn’t the arsehole he was showing everyone in Tagged For Life. To be honest I was secretly hoping he’d end up with Aimie, but *sighs* we can’t have everything we want.
This book was a wonderful addition to the Tagged Soldiers Series. I love this group of girls, which could be biased because I know them all in real life but I can’t help it. They come across as an amazing group of friends. I love the guys relationships with each other too. It’s an amazing story of friendship and love. <3

All of her life all she wanted to do was prove she could do it. Prove she was worthy of being loved. Prove she could be a success. One night of bad choices changed everything. He was the biggest man whore, but that's all he was taught. Women were objects that served one purpose alone. Not everyone believes in brainwashing but isn't that what happens when you start to believe the garbage you have been fed, living the lies? These two have their paths filled with cracks that need mending. It will take loads of time and energy, but that may also be their biggest obstacle. A beautiful emotional story where walls are attacked and hearts are mended.
I love these two's story and the love and support received from friends and family. Love this author's style and this series as well.

I love every book by this woman, yet the Tagged series tugs at a special place in my heart. This book was no different. Heartbreaking, touching, uplifting, funny, everything you could want all wrapped up in one package. Another installment you don’t want to miss.

I think it’s the best book so far. I love Jazz and Tess but Tank and Evy just spoke to my heart.
Perfect.
I love this book. I love this series. When I remembered that it was supposed to be only 1 book my heart breaks still. But now we have 3 and 4th is coming and I am one happy person.
This story is not about Tessa and Jazz but we have opportunity to meet Tank and Evie. And god. I love them. I am so in love with Tank. I just love him. He is caring, kind and sexy as hell. Just Simply perfect. Not Because he is not making mistakes but because he is and is trying everything he can to repair them.
5 stars.
