John Palmer hasn’t felt like a real man since he was injured during combat in Iraq. Though not content with his new life, he is mostly adapting, just like the other vets at the Lost ‘N’ Found Investigative Service. When … Service. When Shannon Murphy is hired on as the new office manager, life suddenly gets a lot more interesting. Before long, John finds himself wondering if he could ever be the kind of man Shannon needs.
Shannon Murphy wasn’t really looking for love when she hired on at LNF, but finds herself hopelessly attracted to the sex-on-wheels former Marine, John Palmer. The man is grumpy and nearly impossible to work with, but his brand of masculinity appeals to her on a basic level. Soon Shannon is wondering just what it would take for John to want her the way she wants him.
When an old enemy tries to settle a vendetta against Shannon, John insists on protecting her. He moves into her house, fanning the spark of attraction into a blaze. But the danger continues to escalate. Will the connection that they’ve found survive when they’re thrust into a fight for their lives?

John Palmer! That is all.
5 Star Review Embattled Hearts (Lost & Found series #1) by J.M.Madden
AUDIO REVIEW:
Hard to believe but this is my first book by J.M.Madden and I have to thank author Kallypso Masters for recommending her books to me.
An emotional and gripping story that got to me on so many levels. Well written with strong damaged characters whose story you …
I enjoyed this book. I thought the narration was good. I did think the ending was a little abrupt.
I like John’s grumpy character. He had his doubts about having a successful relationship with Shannon. Shannon dealt with his grumpiness by having a conversation instead of getting her feelings hurt and running off somewhere. There was not a lot …
I loved this book. I have been binge reading the whole series. Its crazy good. Wonderful, wonderful series.
This story is fantastic from the author who has done a great job writing about war vets. John was a vet who became paralyzed while serving and it was such a great story as you knew how he had to deal with it. Lost and found is the agency that only hires disabled veterans which was a fresh take in a story line. Shannon who worked for this agency …

Embattled Hearts ( Military Romantic Suspense)(Lost and Found Book 1) By: J.M. Madden is a wonderfully written book that had me hooked from the beginning till the end. I have a soft spot for anything Military and this definitely didn’t disappoint.This is the story about John who believes he is broken and is trying to adapt to his life …
I have to say right off the bat that I am a bit of a skeptic about most military romances. I am a NAVY brat, and I was raised in a family with generations of family members that served our country or are currently serving. I have firsthand experienced what it feels like to have family in the thick of danger and not knowing if they will come home …
Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden is the first book in the Lost and Found series. This is another book I have had in my kindle for far too long and just how read. I wish I had not taken so long to read it. I have a huge soft spot for Veterans and wish there was more done for them. But an injured Veteran has my heart completely and totally.
John had …

This is a military romance novel. John Palmer was injured in Iraq where he lost the use of his legs. He hasn’t felt like a real man since it happened. John and a few other veterans opened a detective agency called Lost “N” Found Investigative Services. The cool thing about this …
Embattled Hearts was a good 4 star read and the first book in the Lost and Found series.
There are some things you can’t change in life, who you’re related to, taxes, the nasty boss you’d like to shove off a roof. And you can’t choose who you’re attracted to.
Shannon is hired on to work at LNF Investigative Services. And when she meets John …
Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden is the first book in the Lost and Found series. This is clearly the start of what will be a great series.
I do love reading a good military romance, especially when the H is injured in some way. So right from the start this book ticked a couple of boxes for me. Then throw in some interesting characters who worked …
Embattled Hearts is the first in a series and I honestly couldn’t put it down. I was surprised it was book one, as I felt like I know these characters already. I don’t know if that makes sense but they were just so complex, personality wise, and developed. Anyways, John is an abrupt and grumpy guy, he has some self esteem issues to work through …

I really got into this story as soon as I started reading it. The author did an amazing job making this story realistic and connecting me with the characters. Shannon is a really likeable character and just what John needs to feel alive again. John who at first …
Embattled Hearts By J.M. Madden
Five Stars
I love stories that create a place were people know their own issues but are working to better themselves. John is an ex-marine he was injured and loss the use of his legs. I think a lot of his meanness comes from the fact that he can no longer walk. Shannon was a doll. I liked that she didn’t look at …
Embattled Hearts by J. M. Madden has an excellent understanding of a “broken” military soul. She has fully developed characters and a great story line. I love her approach with service members coming home who are injured in the line of duty. This is a hard concept at times because unless you live it you will not understand. In Embattled Hearts it …
There is a lot that I liked about this book.
There is great world building of the agency the veterans work for. We get to meet characters who I assume will be in future stories.
The honesty with how the story talks about reintroduction of certain life experiences after having your world change.
The brotherhood’s importance in keeping bonds to …
The author created a military-romance that is true to life and the characters are connectable and lovable. The way she protrade PTSD was great and understandable. This story is about John a character that is angry, bitter but didn’t see Shannon coming who is caring, charming. There seems to be an attraction right from the beginning but John …
