Publisher's Summary

In October of 2017 cocky, alpha-male Irishman, Colin Campbell, sergeant in charge of the special assault unit of the University of Virginia Campus Police Force, dove in front of a bullet meant for a University of Virginia student. The bullet shattered his thigh and severed his femoral artery, a wound which nearly took Colin’s life and left him temporarily disabled. His infirmities robbed him of the strength and athletic prowess which had been his for most of his life leaving him humiliated and bereft. 

His partner, Joshua Abrams, a doctor of psychology at the Rainier Clinic in Charlottesville, never once left his injured lover’s side. He poured every ounce of strength and love he possessed into healing the magical Irishman whom he adored and was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude when Colin was taken off the critical list. Thinking that they had survived their trial, he took Colin home, believing that their happiness was now assured. 

But like many injured police officers, Colin subsequently withdrew from his partner. Overwhelmed by feelings of shame and embarrassment, he devoted himself almost obsessively to the physical therapy with which he hoped to rebuild his strength and reclaim the life he had lost. Unable to share his pain and feelings of inadequacy, he shut Joshua out, leaving him to cope alone with the post-traumatic stress he suffered as a result of Colin’s shooting. 

In the following months Colin and Joshua fought to keep their relationship alive. Although deeply in love, they felt powerless to cope with the after-effects of Colin’s injuries both to his body and to his pride as a man, and to heal the emotionally devastating PTSD with which Joshua suffered. 

Love’s Glory tells the story of this painful and challenging time in Colin and Joshua’s life. As we join them now, Colin is still walking with a cane and still suffering the physical after effects of his injuries. But he and Joshua are both in therapy and are now dealing positively with the emotional and psychological damage they both endured. 

They face their future side by side, determined to stand or fall together, as soul mates and lovers. This book follows them on their journey as they move toward the happy future they both long to share. They have moments of anxiety and intense emotion, but you can count on a happy ending. In fact, you can count on a happy listen. In this book, Colin and his beloved Joshua have left their trials behind and now revel in Love’s Glory. 

This book contain mature content including explicit sexual relations between Colin and Joshua.

Love Heals❤️🥀

This is book 3 in the Revolutionary hearts series and is best read in the series order.
After Collin gets shot in book 2 he withdraws from life and his partner, Joshua. He still suffers the physical effects of his injury but is doing much better now, especially with Johua by his side, every step of the way. Collin and Joshua have evolved as a couple and now marriage is in the cards.
This was delightfully fun to read. Much lighter than the previous book for sure. This book is about healing, trusting and moving forward after the aftermath. I absolutely enjoyed this one. Walker Williams did a phenomenal narration as always.

Not so long ago, I reviewed a book called...

‘Love’s Lawyer’ it was the first book in Janice Jarrell’s spin-off series “The Fearless Heart” and now here I sit having gone backwards…something I’m not a fan of doing when reading a series, but something I couldn’t imagine not having done when it comes to the original series “Revolutionary Heart”. I’ve loved these stories so much and ‘Love’s Glory’ is the perfect story to take me from “Revolutionary Heart” to “The Fearless Heart” do I wish I’d read them in order…yeah, I can’t lie I do, but that’s on me for being to impatient to wait for the audio of ‘Love’s Lawyer’ while staying stubborn enough to hold out for the audio of ‘Love’s Glory’, so here I am happily backtracking and honestly this one was so worth it.

'Love's Glory' isn't a mystery or any kind of big drama...nope, this one is what I think we all hope for when we find a couple in a series that worm their way into our heart...this is the final stretch of their journey as Josh and Colin's reach their happily ever after...

Like the previous books I can't say that reading this one and not the others would leave you confused but I truly believe it would leave the reader without a real sense of what these two men have endured in order to be together and to get to this point in their lives.

As in the previous stories it's not just Josh and Colin that the reader gets to catch up with as these men prepare for their big day they're surrounded by friends and family of whom many if not all have appeared in previous stories.

While I love a good thriller/mystery/drama/romance/whatever sometimes it's nice to slip away from all that and enjoy a story about two people who have faced and overcome life's trails getting the happily ever after that they've not only worked for but so fully deserve.

Colin and Josh not only found their way into my heart but as their story has unfolded I've frequently found myself empathizing with them more strongly than I would have expected myself to.

As with previous stories Ms Jarrell has wrapped events around issues that are both real and relevant to the issues of the day while taking license with what is, in order to give this loving couple the happily ever after that they deserve, rather than what current political, social and religious environments might permit.

Once again I was delighted to hear the voice of Walker Williams bringing these characters to life and while "Revolutionary Hearts" may have come to a close, I'm looking forward to whatever comes next in the lives of Colin, Joshua and their friends as things continue with Ms Jarrell's spin-off series... "The Fearless Heart".

An audio book of "Love's Glory" was graciously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Much needed/well deserved HEA

FINALLY our lovely men get to the part of their story where the drama and angst are low. I’m thrilled because my heart has been through the wringer with these guys. My emotions needed a reprieve.

This story picks up where we left them, in Love’s Trials. Colin is still stubborn, and not happy about his recovery or working the desk. He’s really trying to come to terms with everything and doing so much better than he was in the last book. He’s now applied to law school, and we find our favorite couple getting married! We also follow them to Ireland, as they have their honeymoon. While there, Colin finally begins to really come to terms with his sister’s suicide. Joshua is by his side, 100%.

I have enjoyed my time with these beautiful men. The writing throughout the series was consistent, as were the characters. I felt their characters remained true to how they were first written to now. Which is always my preference. There’s nothing more disappointing than a major shift in a character’s behavior or mannerism that’s unexplainable.

Walker Williams was the perfect choice to bring this series to life. I’ve enjoyed listening to him give a voice to each character. He really brought the story home.

4.5 stars for a beautiful story

A beautiful continuation of Josh and Colin's story which includes their highly anticipated wedding. This book left me with the feels.

STORY: 4.5 STARS
Beautiful, sweet, steamy, romantic, and the perfect wedding for a brilliant couple. The third book of the Revolutionary Heart series was everything I expected it to be and so much more. I love Colin and Josh, and after everything that happened in the first two books, they deserved a little downtime. there were a few moments, but they were small blips compared to denying love, surviving riots, living through being shot, etc. LOL.

This book will pull at your heartstrings and there are a few moments when you will need a tissue. But those are some of my favorite parts of the story.

NARRATION: 4.5 STARS
Walker Williams once again delivers a great performance, bringing the characters to life. The emotion, the colorfulness, and the imagery of Ireland are there for you to imagine as he narrates the story for us.

OVERALL: 4.5 STARS
A great story and narration, overall, I'm giving this story 4.5 stars. It will overwhelm you with emotion and leave you with butterflies as you read or listen to the book. I recommend one or the other, or even both. One-click today!

Love wins

Colin and Joshua are on the mend after each struggling their own battles to recovery after Colin is injured in the line of duty. This story is really about the loyalty and trust that occurs through communication and love. How they persevered overcoming tragedy, became a stronger couple, and found their HEA.

Walker Williams is new to me. I really liked how he pulled off the many characters throughout the story, even did the accents really well.

fantastic journey of healing and love

Love's Glory by Janice Jarrell is the third book in the Revolutionary Heart series. We continue the journey through love with Joshua and Colin as they adjust to the changes life has dealt, the fears and pain of past events, the hope for the future and their upcoming wedding. The book is about healing, living and loving. I am emotional with these characters and their livestock, I love watching them grow together and heal.
Walker Williams does a fabulous job with the narration. Truly enjoyable experience.

Two beautiful souls unite.

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased review. I have listened to many beautiful love stories and Janice Jarrell has written one of the best. To be loved so intensively by another through the good and tough times is a love everyone wishes for. The sex scenes are actually true love scenes and this makes them special as well as explosive. This story deals with the emotions associated with planning a wedding and the concerns of meeting new family members. There will also be a few bumps in the road but Josh and Colin have learned to communicate and trust each other. I thought the trip to Ireland was such a magical time. This trip made their love even stronger. The narrator definitely contributes to the love and emotions of these characters. He vocalizes the author's words and takes you on the heartwarming adventure. I highly recommend this Audible book. This is truly a love story that will have you swooning. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Beautiful

Such a beautiful love story! After everything that Colin and Joshua went through in Love's Trials, this was the perfect healing novel. Through good and bad, happiness and sadness, trials and tribulations. This is my favourite book of 2020 so far.
Janice Jarrell is one of the best authors when it comes to telling a truly amazing story.
Be ready to smile, laugh and cry. You won't regret this book. I strongly look forward to the next book in the series Love's Lawyer.

I love Joshua and Colin!!

You really need to read the first 2 books or listen to the first 2 stories to fully understand how they get to where they are at. I absolutely loved how Colin and Joshua got to this point. It made them extremely strong, likeable characters. They finally got their HEA! They were perfect for each other even thou they were total opposites in the beginning. I LOVED every word! This is my first time listening to Walker Williams. I wasn't to sure of him at first but he grew on me. Highly recommend…

loved it!

This is the 3rd book in the series but I think you can easily read it as a standalone because the author does an excellent job of recapping the events of the previous books. In this book Colin and Josh are getting ready for their wedding and their honeymoon to Ireland. Colin is still dealing with his injury and there is a minor complication but mostly it's a super sweet and happy book. Very romantic and heartwarming. I love both main characters. They're deep and well developed and feel like real people. I loved reading about the trip to Ireland the most. I felt like I was there with them. And the narrator was brilliant! Great book, highly recommend it!

More Josh and Colin!

I loved visiting with Josh and Colin again. Seeing them overcome the obstacles and emotional challenges of Colin's injury to now working towards their wedding and then finally being husband's. This was a beautiful story with all the passion, love and stubbornness we know and love from Colin (& Josh). Their wedding was beautiful and their honeymoon so touching. I love these two and really do feel they were made for each other.
it wouldn't be a complete Janice story without a little emotional healing and growth and they face this together in Ireland.
A beautiful story for a much loved couple!

Walker does a fantastic job narrating and keep the consistency going across all books, characters and accents. Great work!

Another real story for a beautifully honest series!

Lovely conclusion to a great series

I have enjoyed Janice Jarrell’s Revolutionary Heart series from the beginning. The series started with a focus on David and Nathan, but soon Colin and Joshua were introduced and their story eclipsed the others’. I’m not sure if this was always the author’s intention, or if this is the direction the stories took her. Regardless, it works.

This story picks up from where the last left off. Joshua is settled in his job as a psychologist, and Colin is still working as a cop, only he’s riding a desk because of his injury. He was shot protecting a student. He’s still resentful of the speed of recovery, but he’s adapting. The Irish in him still has a temper, to be sure. He’s applied for law school, and it looks like he’s going to get in, so that means big changes in their lives.

Perhaps the biggest one of all is just around the corner – they’re getting married. I was happy for them and fascinated to watch the blending of two very different religions – Judaism and Catholicism. It…worked. I also learned quite a few things about those religions and when I learn something new, I find extra value in a book.

The honeymoon to Ireland was also fun. And poignant. Colin hasn’t really dealt with the suicide of his beloved sister Kathy, and this is his chance to do so. With Joshua at his side, it seems all things are possible.

I enjoyed this book. It was low-angst, low-drama, and yet a lovely story. A happily ever after.

I’ll quickly say a word about Walker Williams. He’s done a great job with the series, including all the Irish with Colin’s family. I can recommend this book, as well as the entire series. Well done.

I really love Colin and Josh!

I have to confess that I didn't read this book when it first came out even though I purchased a copy. Why? Because I wanted to listen to the audiobook so much that I decided to wait for it. I have loved every one of Janice Jarrell's books that Walker Williams has done. He truly has captured the essence of the characters in the ongoing love story of John and Colin.

Now, when I say "ongoing love story" don't take that to mean that the books have cliffhangers because they don't. Revolutionary Heart is definitely a series that you will get more out of if you start at the beginning, but I don't think you absolutely have to. I think Love's Glory reads very well as a standalone book.

I was lucky that I got to listen to Love's Magic shortly after it was first released as an audiobook. Before that I wasn't familiar with Janice Jarrell's writing. That story captivated me so much that she had a new fan. I love her writing but I also think Walker Williams gets a lot of the credit for getting me hooked. That first book was intense and he had me totally captivated right from the start.

Love's Glory is about the aftermath of Colin's devastating injury but, like it says in the excellent and detailed blurb, it is a pretty low angst story. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that Colin gets to show Josh his beloved Ireland and that was one of my favorite parts.

There was just so much to love about this story. As with the other books in this series, it brought out a lot of different emotions – my favorite kind of book. Janice Jarrell has created a world with characters I will be happy to visit again and again and again…

I sincerely hope that more of Janice Jarrell's books will be coming out as audiobooks – especially if Walker Williams will be performing them.

A copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
