Brandon

After a traumatic tour of duty in Afghanistan where I lost my canine partner and best friend, I was medically discharged. I've been roaming ever since and I’ve got no idea what to do with my life. So when I end up stranded in Crescent Bay and see a Help Wanted sign at the doggy day care center, I decide to put my skills to work. How was I to know that the feisty, red-headed owner with a set of killer curves would set my wounded heart on fire?

Julia

When the lost looking man comes into my doggy day care center looking for a job, I’m not sure what to think. He’s massively over-qualified but looks like he needs this job more than his next breath. And there’s something else about the way he looks at me, like he wants to devour me like the Big Bad Wolf. Despite my reservations, he could be just what I need, not only to help me with my troublesome new canine resident, but to set my quiet little world on fire.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆

This book deals with combat PTSD, scenes of combat injury in both humans and dogs and mention of suicide.

I began reading romance novels in 2019 and became instantly hooked. I was inspired to write my own book during the 2020 lockdown and first self-published on Wattpad. With the help of Instagram, I gained a loyal following and eventually secured a publishing contract with 4Horsemen Publications. I am a recent but enthusiastic follower of the Dallas Stars Ice Hockey team and in particular the delicious Tyler Seguin.

My Seattle Whalers hockey romance series has a loyal following on Instagram and I intend to keep writing about my crazy gang for as long as the readers want them.

I love an espresso martini, dirty-talking alpha heroes with tattoos and a lazy Sunday breakfast.

This series just keeps getting better and better! Brandon has been wandering from place to place since being medically discharged from the military. While he stops in at a bar in Crescent Bay he has a bad encounter with Julia. He decides it's time to hit the road. But fate had other ideas. Without a vehicle he looks for work. A hairy situation brings him face to face with Julia again.
This story was so well written and so beautiful it had this gal crying. Brandon and Julia's forever story I highly recommend. It's a great addition to the Heart of A Wounded Hero series. I hope you enjoy it like I did.

🦮 REVIEW 🐕‍🦺
Review: 4/5 ⭐️
Steam: 3/5 🔥

#protectmyheart is another novella in the #heartofawoundedheroseries. This one by @emilybunneyauthor.

Brandon has been medically discharged from the military and specifically from the dog training unit. He is determined to live as a nomad and travel around to forget his hurt from losing his K9 partner. But when an issue with his truck happens, he’s stuck. He falls upon a dog kennel that needs some help. The owner is someone he had a brief encounter with and one he’d like to be around more. But it’s just not in the cards for him to stay in one place . Or is it?

Julia has been following her dream sheltering dogs. But it’s been hard to keep help. She finds herself backed into a corner with an agressive dog who’s been there far beyond his welcome. Just as nerves get the best of her, Brandon comes to her rescue. Can she trust the man who gave her attitude at their first encounter or is he exactly what she needs in her life?

I liked this book. Who doesn’t like a story about dogs. Add in some insta lust and love and there’s a good chance you’ll read it in one sitting. I’m enjoying all these novellas and love reading military men books. Defiantly recommend.

Dear Emily
You keep surprising me with your books. As you know I mentioned to you that I was getting a divorce but we are still very close because we have kids and grandchildren. John was in the Army for 25 yrs so while I was pregnant with our last child he was called to stand by for Bosnia. It was a tough time for me but I still had my daughter who was only 5.
I’m telling you this because I have nephews who deal with PTSD as I do too from child abuse. Your story touched my heart and of course I have loved all your books.
Thank you for this beautiful story
Forever a true fan
Millie

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Short Read
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2022
A sweet, quick insta-love romance. I truly enjoyed it. What is not love? It has dogs as well as a sweet love story. It is a sweet story but there is some tragedy in a part, read the trigger warning. I was so impressed with Brandon and his desire to help/see the best in everyone. These characters are well written, they draw you into the story. I wish their story could have been longer. Overall, it was an engaging story of finding love when you least expect it. I highly recommend it especially if you enjoy sweet military romances. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Brandon is wandering, having a hard time settling after being wounded in Afghanistan. Needing to stay in Crescent Bay he finds a job working with dogs. Brandon worked with K9’s in the service and it made him happy. There is a very steamy insta love between Brandon and Julia the kennels owner. Lovely story of finding your place after serving. Was a short fun read!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2022
A good quick romance. A bit emotional and steamy short story of an ex military vet Brandon who is traveling state to state. Car trouble leaves him stranded in Crescent Bay where he meets Julia and winds up working for her. A great addition to the series.

I received an ARC and volunteered to leave a review.

Instalove, military man with PTSD. Short and sweet tale of two lost souls connecting. Rather awkward initial meeting that leads to him saving the day so to speak. When good people get their HEA.

I used to roll my eyes at instalove, but now they are one of my top favs.

Protect My Heart was a sweet and emotional wounded hero story. I love that he wasn’t miserable and rude for too long, and that she didn’t just roll over and take his attitude.

It was emotional, angsty, spicy and had the most adorable fur/ characters for the bow on top!

Was looking forward to a sweet romance, but this was quite crude and explicit. Not what I was expecting from a home coming story. A warning would have been nice.
