This was a sweet story about finding love when you least expect it and trusting that all your experiences, even the painful ones, lead you to where you were meant to be--exactly as you are.
Lt. Kyle Jaxon ("Jax") wakes up at a rehab facility for military veterans who need to regain physical or mental ability and health following injury. This independent man now has to face life outside the military, the only home and family he has, and learn to walk again. Jax is scarred inside and out. It's only his nurse, Chloe Quinn, who gets this grumpy man talking and feeling again.
I really enjoyed this cute romance. It made me happy to see Jax getting better and I loved watching him and Chloe fall in love. Of course there are tons of embarrassing moments, since Chloe is his nurse after all.
This is the second story I've read from Mica Rae and I love her easy-to-read, sweet stories that pack big feelings. I got this novella as a subscriber to Mica's newletter. Go to her website if you'd like to get a copy free!

This is a novella that deals with issues of PTSD, panic attacks and other issues of soldiers in war.
This starts off with Lt. Kyle Jaxon and his company in a war zone and an IED going off and then waking up and finding out he is back stateside in a rehab center.
Chloe is a nurse working at the rehab center. Her job is to help the soldiers overcome their injuries and PTSD allowing them to get back into society. It's a tough job but one she loves. Along comes her new patient Jax and she has her hands full. He doesn't want to talk and not just with her.
Can she break down his walls and help him adjust back into society? There are some funny situations that happen and Chloe gets embarrassed, can she continue to be his nurse?
This is a new author to me. I really enjoyed this book and the way she wrote about this.

Even though this was a short story it still held so many emotions for me and I fell head over heals for Jax a wounded soldier who lost everything and feels as if his life is over until he meets a certain red headed nurse! This short and sweet romance will have your heart crying and jumping for joy within a matter of minutes can’t wait to read more from this author!

I've truly enjoyed reading this novella. It had me hooked from page one and I love how Jax and Chloe found each other. I have to admit, I laughed several times during some moments with Jax in his room. It was fun reading about these characters, and I'm glad they unexpectedly found love. I'm looking to read more novels by the author.

Damaged is a free novella that's available to Mica Rae's newsletter subscribers and it's definitely worth signing up for.
Lt. Kyle Jaxon lost part of his leg in an IED explosion. When he enters a rehabilitation center, he not only needs to learn to walk again, he also needs to heal from his emotional wounds. The sweet and sexy nurse, Red, gives him the motivation that he needs to recover from his injuries. She might also help him heal his broken heart.
This novella can be read in about an hour and I read it in one sitting. It's a somewhat emotional read at times that had me crying at one point. There are also bits of humor in what could have been a heavy read, and even though this is a short story, it gave me all the feels. I highly recommend grabbing this one!
