From the author of Warrior Blue comes an emotional, gritty story about redemption, love, and an antihero with a desperation to achieve his lifelong dream – to be a good man.

Are you ready for redemption?

My name is Soldier, but I was never meant to be a hero.

From the moment I was born, I was looked at as a beacon of hope, a guiding light—a savior. But that type of pressure can drive a man to desperation, to do things he shouldn’t, and in my case, that’s exactly what happened.

All I ever wanted to be was a good person, someone my grandparents could be proud of, but for a long time, I couldn’t find the strength to be proud of myself.

I paid the price.
I did my time.
Yet … somehow, I got lucky.

I was given a second chance to do better, to be the man I always believed I could be. And after finding the love I never knew I deserved, I’m starting to wonder if there’s still room for me to be a hero after all …

I have read a few books by this author, and I have to say that this one truly captivated me on another level. Soldier, a character known for having the odds stacked against him, seemed destined for a life of trouble. However, as you peel back the layers of his story and truly get to know him, you realize that he is so much more than his reputation suggests. Amidst the chaos of his life, Soldier finds solace in his connection with Rain who sees beyond the surface and understands him. Rain, who has a son named Noah who was just adorable, becomes a beacon of hope in Soldier’s life, offering him a chance at redemption, love, a fresh start and more. Watching the journey of their relationship is nothing short of extraordinary. The book not only explores the tragic life of Soldier but also his journey to acceptance, friendship, loyalty, and love. This is raw and gritty just showing the importance of empathy and understanding. One aspect that stood out to me was Soldier’s friendship with Harry. Despite their differences and how their friendship started, Harry remained a source of support and strength for Soldier, proving that even in the darkest times in your life there’s always that one person that will be there for you. It is a tale of resilience, transformation, and the power of human connection. As I followed Soldier’s journey, I couldn’t help but feel a whirlwind of emotions, from heartache to hope, making this an unforgettable read.
