Amazing!

I loved everything about this book! There was lots of action and danger, character development, faith woven throughout and some sneaky twists. I was looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint!

Friendship, Love, and Faith- Coming Full Circle

Sawyer and Anastasia are amazing characters living life in a real way. This is not only a 5-star book, but also a book that I will re-read, no question.

When it first started the book there was a difficult situation with the two main characters- a misunderstanding, a failure to communicate, hurt feelings. So many books drag out this kind of thing for chapters and chapters so I was dreading that. BUT imagine my surprise and my sheer delight when these two people handled their problem in a timely manner with maturity and actually talked to each other in a real, honest way. Just like I would have done. No unnecessary angst or continuing hurt, but rather humble honesty and real resolution so they could move forward into their story in a believable way. Because they did this, the focus of the story was not on an unnecessary drama, but rather how they moved forward and faced the challenges ahead. This was so completely refreshing, and I have to say I loved that because it set me up for really engaging with the story.

Jessica wrote both main characters in such a way we get a real picture of how they think, how they feel, and why. Each have difficult things to deal with, but they deal with them by relying on faith, relationships, and realistic expectations. All of these things combined make Sawyer and Anastasia a joy to read about and my favorite characters in this series. (If you can’t tell, I love character driven stories.)

The characters were engaging but so was the story. No spoilers here, but I honestly did not know “who did it” until very close to the end. I didn’t see it coming and I was shocked! Jessica wrote a great mystery/ suspense!

A favorite thing about this story- and so many others in the Jessica Ashley universe- is Sawyer and Anastasia are not perfect, nor are they unrealistic in any way. I can relate to many of their feelings and actions. I can relate to wrestling with the Lord and struggling with faith.

Other things about the book: The “Note from the Author” section is always something I look forward to, and it did not disappoint. So much good stuff there. And lastly, the dedication brings tears to my eyes: “To those who have fought their way back to God. And to those who wage war on their knees. WE WILL NOT FEAR.” Amen!

SEAL of Courage

Oh, Anastasia and Sawyer – so much pain. I love Sawyer. He is such a great human being. And, Anastasia is a beautiful woman. Both are great, but let their past keep them guarded and cautious. When Sawyer finally realizes he should’ve gone after Anastasia, he thinks it’s too late. They are beautiful together and the path towards each other when they open up to the potential to be more than friends and finally allow themselves to grow even closer is a heartrending journey. They both have a great support team around them and as danger closes in, their team rallies around them. Sawyer has struggled with his faith, but Zane helped him find his way back to the church.
“He [Zane] taught me about faith, about the love the Lord has for us, and I started to understand that God isn’t the one causing us pain – it’s us. We hurt each other.”
When they go off grid to keep Anastasia safe, Sawyer is the one that reminds her God is still present and He will help them through this. This story is a beautiful, painful journey as they find their way towards each other.

Seal of Courage

Seal of Courage follows the story of Sawyer and Anastasia. Sawyer has loved Anastasia for years, but stayed away until she finds herself in danger. Nothing will stop him from keeping her safe.

I have been dying for Sawyer and Anastasia's story since Seal of Honor and it was worth the wait. While friends to more is usually one of my least favorite tropes, their story was basically perfect. Jessica never shies away from tough topics, but always handles them with care and sensitivity. I loved this book and can't wait for the next.

Usually I‘m not the biggest fan of friends to lovers, but goodness did this book hit me, it just pulled me right in!
Seal of Courage is the third book in an incredible series and is about Anastasia and Sawyer, two best friends, navigating their path to love through obstacles like past and present hurt, trauma, mistakes and a whole lot danger.

Sawyer and Anastasia are literally made for each other, their chemistry is insane and they are both so beautifully written, coming to life in such a captivating and picturesque way, one can‘t help but fall for them.
But aside from the “obvious“ romance part in the book, the suspense is gripping and doesn‘t let you put it down. To be honest when I was done I picked it up again right away, you just can‘t get enough of them!

Also I must admit, the foreword alone had me in tears!
Once again, I feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have received this ARC!!
