I bear the wounds of battle.

I suffer the scars of shame.

A shell of the man I once was, I survive now only to honor my fallen friends.

I have been hardened by war and fractured by guilt, but Jewel Jackson has found a way into my heart, and I’d die to protect her—even from myself.

~~~~

I have been hurt. My body and my spirit have been beaten down.

I’m struggling to pick up the pieces.

To have a life.

To find my strength.

So what am I to do with Micah Christian—the only man who’s ever truly threatened my heart?

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars This is the fourth and final book in the Jack 'Em Up series. How Micah and Jewel finding a healing touch with each other is a beautiful thing. Jewel is dealing with a very traumatic experience from her ex. Now she struggles reliving it when on the job as she helps the police with their current case. Micah is dealing with his own personal hell with what happened over in Afghanistan. The horror just tortures him every day and he sees no light, but Jewel's gentle touch may be just what he has been looking for. Micah's protective nature towards Jewel and the way he treats her just makes a girl's heart swoon. When Jewel is doubting herself at every turn Micah is right there to boost her up. There are some sensitive subjects in this book which Shauna does warn before the book in case they are triggers. After reading this series this last book does them justice and makes this romance reader so happy. The ending is just perfect because with everything that Jewel and Micah have faced they so deserve it.

Ever read a book that when you finished, you sat back and went Wow then had to sit and think about all the things that happened in the book, how great it was written and how powerful it came across? Rev left me with that feeling. Where you I know i just Loved it and need a minute to reflect on it. Micah and Jewel each have pain/tragedy in their past that is holding them back from truly living life to it's fullest. Jewel is hiding, Micah doesn't believe he deserves to be happy. Can they find healing together? Ms. Allen did a wonderful job touching on subjects that are hard to read about, rape, ptsd, abuse, death etc. She brought light to the subjects without making it a circus act. She brought hope to healing from tragic situations. It was captivating how well it was done with such a delicate hand. I love all the Jack-em up guys and Micah is no exception. The broody mysterious guy who keeps to himself. He's a well rounded character who comes alive in this story. I think he is my favorite of the bunch. Jewel is secretly strong even though she doesn't think it. She's mentally beat herself into uselessness. another character who sits on the sidelines and doesn't bring attention to herself, brought to life with great friends and a special mechanic. Rev is a full length book that is hard to put down. the story is amazingly well written and not a minute is predictable.

Two broken people with tragic pasts. Can they come together and heal each other. You will fall in love with Micah and Jewel. Micah is trying to overcome his battle wounds and Jewel is trying to overcome low self esteem from her past relationship. As they move from friendship to romance there are hurdles and danger that will try to tear them apart. I love Shauna's characters. She writes characters that have so much depth and make you feel all of their emotions. I have loved all the couples and I shed a tear when I closed the last page. I will miss the men and women of Jack Em Up Series. This was a great story that had romance, angst, danger, family and friendship. This is the 4th book in the Jack Em Up Series but can be read as a standalone. Ms. Allen does a phenomenal job of writing this series. Her story and characters draw you in and take you on an emotional rollercoaster of a ride.
