Fabulous!

There are some books that just stick with you, and every book in the Rise Again Warrior series meets that criteria for me. Stacy Eaton delivers another incredible installment with Gianna, who made decisions in her life that may not have been the best, but were best for her. Serving her country for 10 years, she is now discharged and having difficulty acclimating to civilian life. Actually, that is an understatement. Eaton takes us on her journey through guilt and addiction that is heartbreaking. The life she was leading surely would have ended in her own death, but she has support she didn't even know she had. I felt her love and her pain, the struggle and the triumph. It has a bit of everything from romance to good health and it's fabulously written. We owe so much to our veterans, and Eaton gives us a small look into what it costs. Love this, I think though fiction, it gives a true look into life after service. Amazing and can't wait to hear the next one.

Flo Kepner is our narrator and she does a great job of telling this story. At first I thought she was a bit harsh, but after getting to know Gianna, she is spot on with her personality. She easily transitions between characters with distinguishing voices and has a good pace. I enjoyed her performance and the book.

Gianna

This is an emotional ride. Gianna is a well written character, and her battles are immense. I love the RAW organization. Another wonderful story for this series.

A Compelling & Heartfelt Story🎧📚🎧 Amazing Series!

I am loving Stacy Eaton’s “Rise Again Warrior Series” and the concept of “Rise Again”, a facility that helps Veterans in need, whether it is from their physical injuries or struggling with PTSD and returning to civilian life after their career with the military ended. Eaton does an amazing job bringing you right alongside the character, making you see and feel everything the character is going thru and thinking. This fourth book is Gianna Roberts’ story and we get a bird’ eye view of her journey in the army, struggles she faced as a female and having to prove herself worthy in a man’s world. She fell in love while serving and had her future planned, only for it to be ripped out of her hands. After reenlisting and a promotion, she runs into someone from her past and the two hit it off. Things were looking up for her, but it was short-lived because everything in her life goes FUBAR. She is home and is struggling with adjusting to civilian life, her guilt is eating her alive and she drowns her sorrow with alcohol. Her mother’s boyfriend asks his nephew Nate, who works with Rise Again, for help. Nate comes to access Gianna, and he recognizes the look she has in her eyes, the same look he had when he was at his lowest. He convinces her to go to rehab, but when she is sober, she does not know where she is or what she signed up for. Stacy Eaton keeps it all real, Gianna’s journey to recovery is not an easy one, but the Rise Again Warriors have her back and so does Nate. This beautifully written and plotted story has plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt and emotional moments, as well as gut-wrenching ones and romance. Stacy Eaton, thank you for another amazing story and for writing a story that needs to be heard.

🎧📚🎧 And for the terrific narration, Flo Kepner had a complete understanding of the characters she was portraying, gave each their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who was who. She set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and projected them into her performance. Kepner is an entertain storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the great listen.
