Courage of Us (Code of Honor Book 1) by Brooke May – Review by Karyn Taylor

Courage of Us by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Courage Of Us is the first book in the Code Of Honor series by Brooke May. I had previously only read one book by this author which I thoroughly enjoyed and this looked like just the kind of book I’d enjoy. I tend to enjoy second chance romances and this has to be one of the best ones that I have read.
Patience LaClare has loved her best friend Duke Michaels all of her life but he left her devastated when he slept with her on the night of their High School graduation then left to join the marines the next day without saying goodbye.
Years on and Patience has just divorced from a man she never loved and Duke returns to town having been medically discharged from the marines. Can they go back to the best friends they used to be? Can they have the relationship that everyone assumed they would have? If 2 people are meant to be together then it’s Patience and Duke but Patience is trying to get her life back together after her divorce and Duke has some secrets of his own that he’s hiding.
This is a beautifully written second chance romance. The 2 main characters are both broken but have always loved each other and that has not changed. I loved watching as they both fought their demons to see if they could possibly have a future together.
I was totally drawn into this book and did not want to put it down. It’s a definite page turner.
