J. Kline's Healing Harts series continues as a soldier suffering from PTSD and
a therapy dog trainer find that some scars can only be healed by love...
Julia Hart knows how much good she does training
therapy dogs—it's what helped her overcome her own trials after a relationship
turned unexpectedly violent. But moving beyond her mistakes meant trusting only
her family with her heart.
Dylan, a former soldier, has run out of hope for
recovery. Plagued by nightmares and flashbacks, he doubts anything will help
him overcome his PTSD. When his brother convinces him to try one last time, he
agrees to get a therapy dog.
Dylan didn't expect to find Julia or a chance for a
"normal" future again. But when Julia's attacker is released from
prison, Dylan and Julia will have to face the past together.
Okay,
so when I first choose this book to read I thought it would be kinda light
hearted. Even though it is dealing with PTSD, I didn’t think that it would go
into too much detail… But I was wrong! Taking Heart is a book that will grab
your insides, squeeze them till you can take no more and then makes it all
better…but you are left, never to be the same again.
This
is the story of Dylan, He was in special op’s for 7 years, prided himself on
being able to control a situation and never losing one of his fellow soldiers…that
is until his world was blown up and nothing would ever be the same again. Now
back home and living with his brother Gabe, Dylan is struggling to deal with
everyday life and feeling like he would be whole again. Until one day, Gabe has
had enough and guilt’s Dylan in to finding a PTSD dog, which is the first step
to becoming whole.
Julia
Hart knows about PTSD! Not only though her work training dogs, but after a
previous client assaulted her, she has been suffering with it too. Then Dylan
walks into her life and suddenly it seems much brighter than before. But then
both of their pasts rears its ugly head and by the end of its destruction, are
they both still alive!
This
book truly blew my mind! I have never read a book that literally has left me
speechless. The author has written this book with such detail, she has clearly thoroughly
researched the subject before including it in her book! I could only wish that
other authors were as detailed with their writing. The writing was smooth and
the story sucked me in from the first page, be prepared to give hours to this
book as you will not want to put this book down.
So
overall this book is a mind-blowing story that left me emotionally devastated.
I give Taking Heart 10 out of 10!
