Publisher's summary

This is a very emotional story about sacrifice and loyalty - about overcoming the wounds of battle and finding a life to live and a love to share it with.

Staff Sgt. Shane Logan is lucky to have come from a privileged family, and after losing both of his legs in the war, he now has the best prosthetics that money can buy. While he is trying to move forward with life, he struggles with the past and the way people react to him and his disability.

Dr. Lauren Falcone works tirelessly to help veterans deal with the trauma and pain of their deployments. Her unique virtual approach to therapy keeps her busy, and the assistance she provides to service members as they recover mentally helps her resolve her own anxieties.

When Shane meets Lauren at a fundraiser for his father’s organization, he wonders if there just might be a chance for him to get his dream off the ground and maybe find a normal life with someone who can look past his flaws and see the man he is inside.

Shane and Lauren are drawn to each other by their hope to make life easier for veterans, both physically and emotionally. Their goal is to build Shane’s dream organization, Rise Again Warrior, which will assist veterans to integrate more easily into society and have the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art technology and therapy.

Now, if they can only have faith in themselves, learn to deal with their own demons, and believe in each other, they might find a way to bring this dream to fruition.

Well decorated in this audio-book

This is my first listen to one of Stacy Eaton's audio-books. This story is filled with emotion and ups and downs but it is done with grace. Looks like it's still ringing in my ears. Very interesting listening and very easy.

Love the audio-book & I would recommended

This audio-book vividly depicts the sacrifices and sensibilities of war-wounded Shane and Lauren. I really listened to this audio-book and enjoyed it a lot. I obtained an advanced audio copy of this audio-book and provided this analysis on a voluntary basis.

It's a nice audio-book and very descriptive

A truly amazing start to a series. Ryan Clark is pulling you in and making you want to continue listening. The characters are well thought out and the story was created well. I enjoyed it and can't wait to get the next one to start the series. They loved it.

A Must On So Many Levels

I've come to love military romances but this is so much more than that. Our author has written a fictional tribute to those people that have made sacrifices for our country. I hope you've had a chance to thank some of these heroes. Or maybe you've had a chance to volunteer or made a donation to some of the charities out there.

This story had me remembering how privileged I felt to shake hands with some of the heroes that returned to our local Air Force base during Desert Storm. Our group also took fruits and water to hand out to those that came through the hangar where we were.

This story, however, is more recent but what I felt at that time came out here. This shows the reader that there are ways we can help to honor those from the military that need help. It made me hope that there is an organization exactly like this one out there. If not, I hope someone would ask the author to steal her idea. Both Shane and Lauren have issues but working together it helps them overcome some of their issues and to create something much needed.

Not having heard this narrator before, I wasn't sure about Mr. Clark getting me invested into what was going on. He does an ok job with the women's voices and thank goodness he doesn't go with the high pitch that some may attempt to do. But I had no trouble think of him as Shane. I would get so lost in the book that I almost forgot what I was doing at the time. During his reading, Mr. Clark gives the reader a treat and left me with a surprise which made me really glad that I had the chance to listen to him and to fall in love with the series. In the end, Ms. Eaton made the perfect choice for the person who was going to bring her words to life.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I love it and propose it

A brilliant audio-book for all. I got this Audible audio-book. This is a story about the sacrifice that is very emotional. I understand that Another is the better audio-book. So I suggested the audiobook. Proposed unequivocally!!

I always encourage listening to this audible

Eaton focuses on a topic that is ignored by most people. The trials and turmoil awaiting our injured men and women as they return from battle to their homes. For this audio-book, you'll need a box of tissues.

All is sensible in this audio-book

This is a truly incredible audio-book. I am totally pleased with this audio-book. For amateurs, this audio-book is entirely fair. I had recommended this audio-book to all exceptionally.

An Outstanding Story & Listen 🎧📚🎧 Captivating!

Every once in a while you come across a book that deserves so much more than a 5 star rating and Stacy Eaton’s “Mission Believe” is definitely one fo those books. The story grabbed both my attention and my heart right from the start and held it straight to the end. The characters are realistic and easy to connect with. I loved how the two leads, Staff Sergeant Shane Logan and Dr. Lauren Falcone first meet, well technically run into each other. Also loved that Shane’s father saw there was something between the two. Lauren is a therapist and works with veterans who are suffering from PTSD from what they’ve been thru while serving in the Armed Forces, some are having trouble acclimating back to civilian life, some are having trouble with nightmares and/or survivors guilt. Lauren has found a unique way to reach out to them and she built a good rapport with many. She loves her job and takes it to heart, though she has her own inner demons ones she never shares. Shane, is scarred both physically and psychologically, he has his own demons and hangups but he thinks he has found a way he could give back to his brothers and sisters in arms. With the help of his family’s influence he is going to create a non-profit organization that will help returned servicemen and women who need it. He wants the wounded to have access to the best medical equipment and the best support services too. I loved everything about this story, it is brilliantly plotted and contains a whole lot of heart. It moved me like no other, I can not give this book enough praise and I highly recommend to all. Stacy Eaton, thank you for this amazing story, I felt like I knew these characters personally and was rooting for them the entire time.

Stacy Eaton perfectly casted Ryan Clark to bring her characters and their story to life. He does an awesome job portraying them, capturing their persona with perfection. You could hear how much heart he put into work as he projects the characters emotions into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. I loved touching performance at the end too. Thank you for the wonderful listen 🎧

Clearly the best for veterans, and family

For all veterans, I highly recommend this audio-book. I would also recommend this audio-book to veterans' friends and family members so that you can get a better understanding of what your loved ones are and how you can help them.

This is right away realistic

The audio-book tells the story of Lauren and Shane, who have recovered from past trauma. It is storytelling masterful. One of the best things about the story is the way the author lets you know the characters' feelings.
