There
are some debts you can’t repay.
Josh
Walker is loyal, reckless, and every girl’s dream. But he only has eyes for
December Howard, the girl he's craved since his high school hockey days.
Together they have survived grief, the military, distance, and time as they’ve
fought for stolen weekends between his post at Ft. Rucker and her college at
Vanderbilt. Now that Josh is a medevac pilot and Ember is headed toward
graduation, they’re moving on—and in—together.
Ember
never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh means accepting whatever the army
dictates—even when that means saying goodbye as Josh heads to Afghanistan, a
country that nearly killed him once before and that took her father. But
filling their last days together with love, passion, and plans for their future
doesn’t temper Ember’s fear, and if there’s one thing she’s learned from her
father’s death, it’s that there are some obstacles even love can’t conquer.
Flight
school is over.
This
is war.
EXCERPT
I pushed my
chair out and reached for her, lifting her tiny, curved frame into my lap. Her
head tucked beneath my chin, and she curled into me, fitting right where she
was always meant to be. My arms closed around her. “We have a month.”
“It’s not long
enough.” Her fingers gripped my shirt like she could keep me here if she just
held on tight enough. God, what I wouldn’t have given to stay with her.
“Forever isn’t
long enough for us, December, but that’s what we’re going to have. You and I
have never chosen the easy path. This is just another hurdle.” I rubbed my chin
over her soft hair and tried to soak in every detail of holding her—the sweet
way she smelled, the smooth texture of her skin beneath my hands.
She leaned back
in my arms and cupped my face. “I can’t lose you.” Her voice broke, and tears
pooled in her eyes.
I’d never hated
myself more than I did in that moment. She’d made it through a nightmare no one
should have to face, and I was about to ask her to chance that fire again. My
breath hitched, barely passing the lump in my throat. “You won’t. It would take
something a hell of a lot stronger than a war to keep me from you.”
I sealed that
promise with a kiss, tasting her fear and desperation as she responded. She
opened underneath me, and I fused my mouth to hers, surrendering to the heat
between us to pull us through this moment. There was nothing hotter or sweeter
in this world than kissing December, feeling her go soft and pliant.
We’d fought so
fucking hard to get here, to be together. This wasn’t fair, and we both knew
it. But we also both knew it didn’t matter. Fair wasn’t exactly in the U.S.
Army vocabulary.

Hallowed Ground by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is such a bittersweet review for me. I absolutely love this series and Hallowed Ground just defied all expectations. However, this is the last in the series and I hate to see it end. Rebecca created an amazing ending to the series though. Josh and Ember will always be my favorite couple and I am so glad we got to see more from them. I don't know how many times, I was on the edge of my seat as I was reading this story or shouting NOOO!! (Even though there was no one around). I ugly cried so hard reading this story. It was so beautifully heartbreaking and sweet and suspenseful. There is not an emotion this book does not touch on. So, I am so sad that this is the end, but there could not have been a better written ending and I can't wait to see what Rebecca comes up with next. I am positive it will be brilliant, just like the rest of her work.
