Duncan Wilde has avoided long-term relationships very well since his fiancée left him wounded in the hospital years ago. That one harsh lesson-that he needed to guard his heart-has stuck with him for years. Besides, he's a beat up old Marine well past his time for love. The fiery-haired doctor from Kansas City seems to think otherwise, though. Too bad she's so damn young.Alex Hartfield grew up as a military brat, but she sees something in Duncan that makes her think of permanence and starting a family. She wants someone to come home to every night and love, and he's the first man that makes her guarded heart race with hope and excitement. Now... as they try to understand the dangerous incidents going on around them, they fight to find common ground. But it seems as if fate has some tricks up her sleeve.

It seems so long ago when we were first introduced to 3 men who after their time in Iraq after had suffered severe damage to there bodies. Over the course of this series we had gotten two of those mans stories along with other disable vets who'd joined Lost and Found Investigative Services but were patiently waiting to get Duncan Wilde's story.
Duncan was a man who would do anything for a wounded warrior. He wore many hats – friend, father figure, even match maker. He had a huge heart but all the help and advise he gave to others he wasn't so good at following for himself. He ignored the need for a hip replacement even though he was in tremendous pain, and he also refused to open his heart again to love. Well his friends were tired of seeing him alone and invited the doctor he'd met in Kansas when he went to see the elusive homeless vet Aiden Willingham to Colorado for Christmas.
I thought this would just be Duncan and Alex's story but its so much more than that. A lot of the other couples are also front and center and each going through a new life change in their lives. Duncan still races to any distress call from a vet in trouble and one of those was gut wrenching.
There is so much that went on in this book I dont know what to talk about. Duncan had a lot of old ghost he needed to put to rest (and boy it was long over due) to have a relationship with Alex. I dont know who I pictured as being the woman who would finally get through to Duncan – I dont think I would have said Alex but once they were together she was perfect him and I couldnt imagine it being anyone else.
Along with Duncan and Alex's romance and getting updates on where all the other couples were there was also the mystery of who Aiden Willingham really was – which is also the set up of a new series – WAHOO..
I seem like I'm rambling now – for long time fans of series I think you will be happy with this final book (but fear not I hear is not the last time we will see these guys) in the series and be very intrigued about the new series. (
