Aaron: A Hathaway House Heartwarming Romance

Hathaway House -- a specialized place geared to help the wounded veteran recover and heal from injuries of the body and soul. A place which also helps abused and injured animals heal and find trust. Aaron is a SEAL who was injured on duty and now the healing process is slow, the anger deep seated, his focus clouded. Dani is a friend from his past, his past which includes his brother Levi. Through the determination of Dani and members of the Hathaway House staff, and through the magic of the animals, Aaron learns to release and to look forward. A powerful book, a book for all ages. I thought the K9 Files series was great (cheering out loud series), Heroes for Hire and SEALS of Honor were major page turners, but this is a wonderfully unique series and one I look eagerly for the next installment. Bravo, Dale Mayer! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

In this, the first book of Dale Mayer’s Hathaway House series, we meet some of the residents and staff of Hathaway House, a top-of-the-line rehabilitation facility in Texas run by Dani Hathaway and owned jointly by Dani and her father, nicknamed the major. A sprawling ranch-like atmosphere where traumatized humans and animals whose recoveries seemed stalled were treated by the best professionals with the best therapeutic equipment and knowledge bases, Hathaway House had a very expensive price tag; but thanks to Dani’s hard work and contacts, they were able to treat up to four patients through donor support. When Aaron arrived, Dani was put into a difficult situation because the donor supporting his costs insisted on remaining anonymous. Aaron Hammond, whose older half-brother is co-owner of Legendary Security (Heroes for Hire series), struggled his whole life to live up to Levi’s strength and reputation, made even more difficult by Aaron’s attraction to Levi’s high school girlfriend. Even though Aaron knew they’d broken up, Dani would always be his brother’s girl, and thus off-limits to pursue his feelings for her. She didn’t seem to recognize him when he arrived at Hathaway House that first day, which added to the depression he already felt and the obstacles to his recovery. Dani’s anguish at having to keep a secret from him and respecting the professional taboo of relationships between staff and patients provided some pretty interesting interactions between them. I love, love, love that the SEALs we meet in all of the Mayer series are like family in that they continue to help each other. Aaron is an incredible first step in this new series of amazing books. Don’t miss any of the Hathaway House stories. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I'm a big fan of Dale Mayer 's suspense and paranormal series and this new series is all about romance and I love it, yup it's difference but I love it a lot. This one is an emotional heartwarming romance mixed with second chance romance. Aaron's healing journey with Dani's help is not easy, no smooth sailing here, so many ups and downs, so many storms to get through. The frustrations are so real, I can feel all their emotions, all the anger. I got teary at some parts, but thank goodness there are plenty of love that warm my heart. If you're looking for a heartwarming romance, this book is definitely it.
