Nash

Honorably Discharged, Book 4

De: Nora Phoenix, E.M. Lindsey

Narrado por: John Solo

After my brothers-in-arms have all moved out, I’m suffering from a kind of empty nest syndrome. The only one left is Forest, Creek’s little brother.

Except he’s not that little. He’s seriously hot and sassy, and the way I dream about him is anything but brotherly.

But he’s too young for me, too innocent. Too…perfect. He doesn’t need a man with my kind of baggage.

When he gets sick, I’m there for him, even when he allows no one else in.

I will do anything to take care of him…and that includes marrying him so he’ll have health insurance.

But when fake becomes real, I don’t know what to do. Forest may need me, but how do I explain to him that I need him just as much?

Nash is the fourth book in the Honorably Discharged Series, which can be listened to as standalones but are much more fun if listened to in order.

Excellent Story & Narration🎧Riveting & Emotional!

And then there was Nash, one of my favorite characters in Nora Phoenix and E.M. Lindsey’s “Honorably Discharged” series, and the last one to find his special someone. Nash was the anchor of the found family, a group of veterans who served together, living through the same traumatic incident that left them broken, each in their own way. Nash has been everyone’s rock throughout the series, being there for everyone, helping them get through and/or past their own struggles and battles with inner demons, yet he still suffers from his own. All his brothers in arms are flying the coop, but before Creek moves out, he mentions his brother, Forest, was looking for a place to live, suggesting he take his room, and Nash agrees. Forest, a college professor, wanted a new start, thinking his old job was stressing him out and causing his unexplained illnesses. He and Nash hit is off and were perfect housemates, but when Forest’s unexplained illnesses came back with a vengeance, he turned to Nash when he needed someone to turn to, keeping it from his brother. Nash is a natural caregiver, and he helps Forest as much as Forest allows, and when Forest loses his job and his needed health benefits, he comes up with a solution, or rather a proposal, a marriage proposal. A marriage of convenience turns into something so much more, and it was great to watch them first fight off their feelings and then give in to them. It was also great to see Nash finally open up about what happened and his struggles with his PTSD. These two, an unexpected pairing that worked for them, and the chemistry between them was smoking hot. I loved catching up with the other characters from the earlier books too. This is another amazing Nora Phoenix and E.M. Lindsey collaboration, a beautifully written, multi-layered story that has the perfect balance of drama, angst, some heartwarming moments, profound emotions, and steamy romance. Thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧Another exceptional audiobook production and listen performed by John Solo, who does an amazing job bringing these characters to life. He gives each character their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who, with voices that have been consistent throughout the series. His character voices are always fitting to their personalities, and his portrayal of the two leads, Nash and Forest, was perfection. John Solo’s performances are consistently enjoyable; he is entertaining, and his captivating performance keeps you invested in the story.

A wonderful conclusion to this series.

Nash has been the one who kept his band of brothers together. Now that Creek, Bean, and Tameron have found their HEAs and moved in with their partners, Nash is feeling lonely. He calls himself a fixer so when Creek’s little brother, Forest, needs a place to stay he offers him Creek’s old room. He wasn’t expecting to be so attracted to Forest. When Forest is diagnosed with a debilitating disease, Nash steps in to take care of him.

This story broke my heart but put it back together again. . I’d never heard of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) before but the symptoms Forest has are pretty terrifying even though it’s not a fatal illness. Readers know, of course, that the fake/real marriage to give Forest access to health care will end up becoming very real but the journey for them to get to that point was a very satisfying romance story and I loved listening to it.

John Solo always does a wonderful job but I think he really outdid himself performing this one. He conveyed all of the emotions the characters were feeling in such a way that that I felt all of them and shed more than a few tears.

Did anyone say 'Sweet'?

When these two authors comes together to write it book they don't go at it half-arse, they take the plot and run with it, giving us an excellent story so realistic it make the readers thing they are feels like they are watching a movie, then adding John Solo to the mix completes the whole screen montage .
Nash seems to be the one everyone looks up to, the giver, although he has his own issues he's there when anyone needs him.

I enjoyed listening to John telling the story the ways it was meant to be listened to.
The plot line was perfect.
Wonderful story all around.

Winning audiobook!

I absolutely loved this finale installment in this series. It is fantastic to watch Nash, the caretaker of the group, get his happily ever after!

What a great finish

A great story. Perfect ending to the series. Slow burn but as always some spicy closer to the end. John soto is a great narrator. He makes the story pop. He doesn’t just read it, he makes it better.
