Ultimate Sacrifice - K.C. Lynn - Review





Ultimate Sacrifice 
(Men of Courage, #1)



Men of Courage: A brotherhood bound by courage, honor, and sacrifice.

Hard work and dedication brought Austin Hawke up the ranks at his department, eventually earning him Lieutenant position. He was more than ready to lead his fellow brothers but one fatal call leads to tragedy and a danger they never saw coming.

Meanwhile, his personal life is just as destructive. All thanks to the gorgeous sports bar owner he shared an unforgettable night with only to have her slip out on him before the morning sun. Zoey thought she could escape him without a fight but what she fails to realize is Austin doesn’t give up when he wants something, and he wants Zoey.

Zoey Anderson had dreams of exploring the world, capturing its beauty behind a lens, but all that changed the moment her disabled sister was born. Due to their loveless home, Zoey dropped her dreams and took on the role of caring for her younger sister. A decision she could never regret.
Taking her life by storm, Austin Hawke crashes through all the barriers she placed around her carefully guarded heart. When passion burns and devastation strikes, Zoey quickly learns that love doesn't come without sacrifice.













4.5 Stars

It's honestly been quite awhile since I've read anything by K.C. Lynn and with Zoey and Austin's story I've rediscovered my love of her ability to weave a captivating and enthralling tale.

Ultimate Sacrifice is a sweet, sexy and steamy romance that is heartfelt, but also heartbreaking. You can expect the tears to flow with this emotional and charming story.

Zoey and Austin are complex and unique characters. Austin is a firefighter, he's driven, dedicated, and determined both in his professional and personal lives. He's incredibly sweet and loving, and his interactions not only with Zoey, but her sister Chrissy will melt the hardest of hearts, and leave you swooning.

Zoey is a survivor, she's always come last when it comes to those who should love and care for you most, so she will do anything to make her younger sister her number one priority. She's hardworking, dedicated, loving and incredibly compassionate.

The connection between this pair is not only undeniable, but incredibly passionate and full of heat.

Alongside Zoey and Austin romance, is a plot full of intrigue and mystery as Austin and his best friends/colleagues endeavour to discover the identity of an arsonist who is intent on destruction.

I adored Zoey and Austin, and cannot wait for Cam and Jake to find their happy ever afters. I'm already completely captivated by this series, and will be eagerly awaiting future titles, to not only see more of these characters but my curiosity is piqued in regard to the identity of the arsonist.
