I love all her books! But a signed copy WITH swag?! The best!

I loved the book. All her books show struggles with faith, love and violence they have to commit. Thank you for clean, Christian books.

I’m not quite sure where to start, wow just wow! I started this story and could not stop until it ended. It tore my broken heart out of my chest and put it back whole. My emotions were all over the place. Of course this is what Jessica does when she writes. She makes those characters come alive with such depth. You are drawn into the small town as if you were one of their best friends and neighbors. Westin poured himself out. All his pain yet so much compassion, love and heart for others. His struggle is heart wrenching, but his love and strength is beautiful for all those he is loyal to. Reese has the same pain and yet her faith allows her love to grow even stronger for Westin. She does not give up on reminding him who he is. Together through such hard hardship, they become stronger as they forgive each other and themselves. Such a brilliant storyline. In addition, the love, loyalty, respect, and brotherhood that these men have for each other is incredible. Each of these men and their significant others are amazing. They are truly a family! Sometimes our families are not the ones we have been given, but the ones we choose. This has become my favorite so far out of all the books in this series. I am so sad to see this series end but so excited for what Jessica writes next. I can’t wait!

This is book#4 in the Iron Tide Brotherhood series but can be read as a standalone book.

This book had me staying up late to find out what happened to the characters. A second chance story and learning to let go of the past to start anew.

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. The review expressed here is my honest opinion.

I had no idea just how this book was going to impact me. Whew. 😥 I just had to sit in this book before reviewing. I have loved every single Iron Tide Brotherhood books and each time I just think I loved the previous more a new one surpasses. Weston’s story broke my heart and put me back together. I couldn’t have loved this more. So many emotions. Every single page I fell in love with Weston Hayes and Reese Faye. Their relationship is something else. I love all the guys and their significant others: Zane & Tessa Know, Garrison “Demo” & Katelyn Holt, Sawyer Maddox & Anastasia Knox, next up is Ryker “Tank” Granger. I can’t wait for Ryker’s story next. Sadly this series is ending way too soon.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are all my own.

I could not put this book down! I read way too late two nights in a row to finish this book and I regret none of it! This no spice Christian romantic suspense hit all of the right notes for me. A second chance romance with such pain and grief in their pasts. This SEAL veteran turned cowboy is helping out the mother of the love of his life. When she returns and finds him there - there are definite sparks - both good and bad. When danger rears its head we are plunged into a web that has such connections and breadth it stunned me. I didn’t see it coming. This book was intense and had so many great moments focusing on faith, our worth, forgiveness, family, found family, and more. I didn’t want to put this book down and cannot wait for more! The romance is just kisses, with a fade-to-black mention of the past. The intimacy is level 2.

I received an eARC of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This book was so good! The danger elements don’t come in to play until later in the story, but I was so invested in the emotional drama between Reese and Weston now they are back in the same town in nearly 20 years. Once the danger elements started, I could not put this book down. This book is awesome!

I received an ARC of this book from the author and was not required to post a positive review. I also purchased my own audio copy of this book. All thoughts are my honest opinion.

The romance in this was amazing. At first I was wondering how they would ever get over their pasts, but true love never dies.

Reese returns to the ranch her mother owns but finds her ex, Weston is partner in the ranch as well. When trouble comes, he and his friends stand together.

Reese and Weston are scarred from their past together. Full of misconceptions and issues they couldn't control. But those feelings were never lost even though they had been apart.

I loved the unity and support everyone offered, like the guys and Vivian Reese's mother. That support is rare and moved me.

So well written. Jessica Ashley always gives a story that is both suspenseful and romantic. I enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next.

This was so much better than Seal of Courage. And I have been waiting for Weston’s story since the first book in the series, but especially from Seal of Courage because he really captivated me when his broodiness. What made this book better than the previous one what that usually all her books have action scenes and you see it coming but this book did get me a bit because everything was extremely calm and going smoothly until BAM everything turns into chaos. So I really did enjoyed that. But my goodness did they really need to be separated from each other that long!!! I don’t know how they survived from each other so long. I loved how Weston would do anything for Reece despite how much he knew how it would hurt him to be near her. I just wanna say that half way through the book right when the chaos start to happen it gave me major trust issues, like at the end I didn’t know who to trust. The author really did a good job with stirring up the conflict, bravo 👏🏻! Glad that he discovered Jesus and he know longer had to grip and hold onto his pain and could be set free. 4/5 ⭐️

I received a digital ARC of Seal Of Valor from the author in exchange for an honest review. In no way shape or form was I required to write a positive review but an honest one. All opinions are my own unbiased thoughts.

Love these books!!!!!!!!!

I’ve really enjoyed reading Jessica Ashley’s books. In fact they’ve kinda ruined me from reading non Christian literature. Her stories are very well developed with twists and turns and they don’t follow a pattern. So you really don’t know how it’s going to end, except you know it will end to make you feel good about it! I’m looking forward to reading more.

I admit, that even in the other books, Weston was not a character I was drawn to. The surly, silent, angry type has always turned me away, but after reading his personal story, I finally understood him...and ached for him. Jessica Ashley masterfully weaved the story from hopeless hurt and brokenness, to the slow building of a teetering bridge... she had me hooked! I initially was concerned it would be a 1-sided blame like a lot of romance novels, but I should know by now Jessica wouldn't do that! As always, the fullness of faith, grace, mercy, love and healing always amaze me. She is gifted from God!

As always, I enjoyed this author's book. It didn't disappoint! I love how the plot unfolded, and the suspense kept me anxious to turn the page. Some twists were surprising; the plot flowed and made sense. The faith aspects are woven in both naturally and truthfully. I love that!
The ending wraps things up nicely—enough closure to feel good, but not so perfect that it feels fake.
Overall, it’s the kind of book you’d enjoy if you like a clean, suspenseful read, but of course, don't compromise the "swoony".

I love the predictability of Jessica Ashley’s style, but not the predictability of the plots of her novels. Seal of Valor was a well written, action packed novel with a distinct plot and perils that left me not wanting to stop before it finished.

A story of second chances, healing from the past, restoration of relationships, and pictures of lasting friendships that were “forged in combat”, “washed by grace” and “bound by Brotherhood”. A story of being strong enough to have an open heart looking toward the future. All this heavily sprinkled with suspense with a big finale and a satisfactory ending!

I really like Weston! He had so much personal tragedy in his life but that did not stop him from being a Good Man, being willing to stand in the gap for someone else, helping with whatever they needed. He was such a hardworking man, a good friend to everyone, quietly addressing someone’s needs without the need for recognition. As a mother of sons, I especially liked the description and depiction of such good, healthy male relationships between Weston and his friends. They called each other Brother, and the author showed us why several times in the story. “Zane, Ryker, Garrison, and Sawyer …move in to join Weston. It’s not curiosity. It’s tactical. Because you come for one of them, you’d better be prepared to fight them all.” Loved that.

Reese was a little hard to like at first. As the story unfolded, I understood more about why she did the things she did. I was sad there were 19 years of so much unresolved pain, but we all have things we struggle with and sometimes we struggle with those things even longer than 19 years. I just wished she’d spent less time running and hiding and more time fighting for those she loved during her younger years. I liked her character more as the story unfolded.

In the end, the author did a great job of resolving the difficulties in the relationship between the two main characters and showing that restoration and future happiness is possible despite a painful past. I really like how she shows Weston’s restoration of his relationship with God- the growth from the pain of his personal experiences and then his opening his heart back up to God. “So, I keep my head bowed, begging a God I haven’t spoken to in years for mercy.” And Weston received that mercy in many ways. We all do.

And can I just say, Samuel!! I have my own ideas about this character, and I would love to hear others! I closed the last page with a smile on my face. Recommend.

I have to be honest and say, during the first few chapters I was pretty disappointed in the heroine of this story. She didn’t treat out hero righ! However, once you get into the story you understand a lot of her reasoning. I loved Zane and Tessa’s story and how God worked His will in their lives. Pick it up today!

Seal of valor is the 4th book in the Iron Tide Series. I have loved every book in the series. Weston’s story broke my heart a little bit. He feels so unworthy and unloved, yet he is always there for everyone else. So much tragedy has happened in his life. God and a lost love can help him see that he IS enough if he will just allow both in his heart.
Can’t wait for Rykers story next!

Loved this one too. I’ve read everything you’ve written. Waiting semi patiently for the next one….

Just like the previous books, I absolutely loved Seal of Valor. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down until I finished it.

I love this book, and the whole series!! It's a great mix between mystery, adventure, and romance! Highly recommend!

Wow. I have to admit, the history for these characters had me crying a few times. Their past is so tragic and you could just feel the heartbreak that they had to struggle through. The timing for every tragedy that seemed to destroy everything for them was just part of their story. Finding that they had continued to love each other even after so much loss was beautiful. Seeing strong, grumpy, but protective Weston find his faith again had my heart so full by the end of this story. I absolutely loved this book and look forward to the next one.

Jessica writes such amazing stories that I find them hard to put down. Perhaps this one is my favorite as it felt like I was in their bubble. What fantastic skills she has to tie these people together. Although this series is complete, I will be ready for her next one for sure. Keep going, Jessica!

This book was a rollercoaster! I loved the dynamic between Weston and Reese. And the final showdown was one of my favorites that Jessica has written. I could not put this book down!

I devoured this book in one sitting. Then I had to sit on it, read a couple others, then go back and read it again to review. Jessica just gets stronger and stronger as an author and, just Wow! Such a powerful message.
Weston and Reese experienced heartbreak stacked on heartbreak when they were extremely young and did not understand the foundation that existed in faith, family, and friends. As a result, they both became isolated in different ways. A twist of fate brings them back together, but time has taken it’s toll on them. Weston lost his Faith, and Reese has closed herself off and neither ever truly grieved the past. When they are betrayed and Weston feels stuck, he starts reaching for God again, and the small seed starts to grow. Weston does not miraculously get better over night, questions God about awful things in the past, and about why evil exists, but his found family gathers him in and will not let him regress. It’s a beautiful close knit group that continues to lift each other up. It’s a wonderful reminder to look and recognize the good people around you and step away from the detractors.
Pastor Reeves: “I see a man who has … been let down by people he should have been able to trust. But that’s the hard truth, Weston. People will always let us down. We can’t help but fall short. God, though? He is always good, and He is always there. Even when life is horrible and has us twisted up into more knots than we can count, God is there. Our Savior never leaves our side. … Put your faith in Him, repent for your sins, and stop punishing yourself for things He has already forgiven you for.”

Her books keep getting better and better. Seal of Valor is no exception, Read it from front to back in one day because I couldn’t put it down. The “faith” issue was an added bonus for me.
Highly recommend this book!

Weston was in a very dark place, with no hope or faith. Despite their shared tragic history, Reese kept her faith and used it to help her with the hard memories. After coming under attack from an unexpected source and realising he needed help, Weston finally turned to the only One who could save him and Reese. Of course the rest of the team were involved, there were some new characters, and the usual danger and excitement we’ve come to expect from this author kept the story moving. You don’t want to miss this one!
