As he struggles to come to grips with what life has dealt him, he finds his thoughts continuously turning to a woman he barely knows. Despite all odds, these two wounded hearts begin to find a love they both need and deserve. But when Mac’s secret comes to light will Beth be blinded by the past or embrace her destiny in Mac’s arms? A Soldier's Gift is the first book in Lynne St. James's NEW Series, Beyond Valor. I don't usually get into a lot of books featuring soldiers, but with Lynne St. James I knew I will get a good read. I didn't expect however to get MORE though, yet I did with A Soldier's Gift. This story was heartbreaking, sweet, and showed the kind of spirit soldiers have after getting injured. I found myself crying and cheering for Beth and Mac as well as for Beth's daughter. ~ Review by Marie's Tempting Reads WOW!!! What a beginning!!! This story reaches the heart of what a true gift would be!! ~ Review by Linda Estes less
