WARNING- The Lost and Found Series pulls no punches. As always, there are ups and downs. Readers need to be aware that I deal with PTSD issues, suicide, and miscarriage, amputations, and a wide range of other things. But, as always, there is a happy ending for every book!!!The Embattled RoadIn the harrowing prequel to The Lost and Found series, three embattled Marines must deal with their … deal with their devastating physical and emotional injuries in a world that seems to have turned against them.
When the rescue helicopter crashes into his convoy in Iraq, Marine First Sergeant Duncan Wilde struggles with the loss of men, his career and the use of his body. Then his fiancée decides she has to move on with her life, and that of her unborn child by another man.
Sergeant Chad Lowell knew when he went to war that it would come with a price. And it did. A young Marine under his command is killed by a landmine. Chad’s left with one less leg and a mountain of recriminations. That doesn’t mean he wants to be a pitied by every female he comes in contact with.
Gunnery Sergeant John Palmer is furious at the hand he’s been dealt. He’s served his country faithfully, for many years. Now they’re turning him out like a relative who has overstayed his welcome. And, since he’s not even a real man anymore, maybe it is time to move on permanently.
Can these wounded warriors use a friendship borne out of adversity to form a partnership rescuing others? And can they find real love in spite of their challenges?
Embattled Hearts
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 And Found Investigative 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. Will the connection that they’ve found survive when they’re thrust into a fight for their lives?
Embattled Minds
Zeke Foster has little to no experience with women over the past couple of years, after being injured in Afghanistan. Brutally scarred, he has no expectation that he’ll ever find a woman capable of accepting him the way he is. But he can’t help but be enamored of Ember, the waitress of a local watering hole.
Ember Norton’s life has turned into one devastating catastrophe after another. When the scarred soldier with the kind eyes brings some security to her life, she’s afraid to trust her luck. She’s been self-sufficient for a long time. But his wounded soul calls to her and she finds herself falling for him.
In spite of the secrets he continues to keep.
Embattled Home
Failure is never an option regardless of circumstances. Chad needs to stop Lost and Found’s deranged client from using the information he gathered to stalk and abuse his ex. Falling in love with the broken woman in the middle of rescuing them is definitely not the best timing. But it’s also inevitable.
Embattled SEAL
When Preston Harper finds himself flat in a hospital bed after a botched op, he’s okay with dealing with the fallout. If he dies, he’s lived well past his expiration date. The only people that will notice his passing are the guys he works with at Lost and Found Investigative Service.
Then his estranged wife arrives.

I found all the characters in this series to be strong, interesting, and believable.
I learned so much about veterans who have endured injuries and the mental trauma of combat. I thought at first that the stories might be depressing, but on the contrary, they were inspiring. There was intrigue as well as romance, mixed in with all the rest. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them all!
These are pretty good books. Some grammar issues though.
I haven’t finished all the books but the ones I’ve read are worth reading.
All six of these stories were absolutely mesmerizing and wonderfully satisfying. Recommend them highly!
I want more of these realistic returning vets finding love and meaning in their lives stories. Pity this doesn’t happen more often in real life.
Great books
I love well developed characters and a series with books that have interwoven story lines but definite endings for each book. This series is great to read and I love the characters. The military guys are dominant and strong as you would expect and it’s really nice that the women they fall for are also written to be feisty and strong. The way their military service has caused the guys problems is heart-breaking but then you get to see the friendship with their buddies and the developing relationships with a feisty woman start healing their souls and that makes for great romance.
These stories gave a realistic view of what injured veterans go through. The stories were touching.
Strong characters who function with strength and depth despite and because of their disabilities.
This is really a great series.
I liked each one better than the last! Great series!
It was totally engrossing, I loved the continuation into each story!
I totally enjoyed all of the books. I had already read the second book but reread it. I shed many a tear reading them. An enjoyable tear. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
I was not sure that I would like this series but after reading the first one in one day, I couldn’t wait to pick up the next one.
The stories were all wonderful. Each hero had a physical or psychological disability due to the Iraq or Afghanistan wars. And the way each hero dealt with his issue or issues was quite intense. This could be a re-read series.
Loved these books!
Easy to read of somewhat predictable okay for a light read that is not too taxing for the brain
Terrific
Each story was wonderful and how they intertwined with the characters was beautiful. I think it is great that no matter a soldiers come back that maybe there will someone there four them.
I loved the premise and the reason behind writing these books. The characters are wonderful, their stories could be that of any veteran. I could not put this series down and look forward to reading the other stories in the series. These books highlight that you are only limited by yourself and that love is one of the best medicines.
Want to read Aiden’s story.
