TWO HEARTS IN RETREAT (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 18) Kindle Edition
2023 Readers' Favorite Silver Medal Winner
Melinda McDaniel has everything she’s ever wanted. Newly engaged and soon to be an RN, she’s on the fast track for promotion after deciding she’ll specialize in orthopedics. Even discovering she’s pregnant doesn’t dampen her enthusiasm for the future since having kids had always been part of their plan.
But through no fault of her own, Mel loses the baby. And then tragedy strikes again only a few weeks later, when she’s informed that her fiancé Alex, an Air Force pilot, has been killed in action in Iraq.
Devastated, Mel moves forward, accepting a surprising job offer to work at the newly built Wounded Warrior Home in Crystal Rock, Wisconsin. Her duties as an R.N. will include overseeing the young disabled residents of Crystal Visions, located nearby.
Former Navy vet, Steve Ryder, gave up his opportunity to train as a Seal to take care of his wife, Amy, who was diagnosed with cancer. Deciding to continue his education, he eventually trains to become a physical therapist. After her death, an unexpected opportunity leads him to the Crystal Rock Wounded Warrior Home, where he’s hired as a physical therapist.
Sparks fly when Mel and Steve meet, but Mel is not even close to being ready for a new relationship, so she keeps Steve at arm’s length, even when they’re working together.
After three long years, their mutual love of a young disabled boy named Ben brings them closer. And when they discover that Ben has lost his sponsor and will be unable to continue living at the residential facility, where he’s receiving the finest specialized care, they decide they need to come up with a solution so that Ben can continue to thrive.
But will they finally be able to stop their sparring and admit that the attraction that they’re fighting just might be love?

Editorial Reviews
Review
Patrice Wilton-New York Times & USA Today Best-Selling Author
★★★★★I enjoyed the gradual build-up as Tamara Ferguson beautifully weaves together the lives of Mel and Steve. I love a carefully thought-out plot, but I'm in literary heaven when it's skillfully penned and dotted with wholesome characters. The slow-burn romance was sweet and came across as real. Crystal Rock and its inhabitants were so beautifully depicted that it became a place I would be delighted to live in. The caring nature of the characters was so refreshing to read; it was like a breath of fresh air. Two Hearts in Retreat is a small-town, slow-burn romance that was an absolute pleasure to read from beginning to end-Tracy Traynor for Readers' Favorite
★★★★★This is a hope-filled story told with empathy and tenderness. It gently captures the physical and psychological challenges many servicemen and women battle after returning from war. Its exploration of what families face when their loved ones are deployed, injured, or killed is eye-opening and moving. I loved that the story weaves the theme of hope throughout the plot and includes a lovely, uplifting ending. Other themes, including the value of family, friendships, and community, especially in the face of tragedy, are masterfully brought out. Kindness and empathy are other important themes that are explored. A wonderful, touching story about finding love after loss, Two Hearts in Retreat by Tamara Ferguson will be a favorite for fans of romance novels-Edith Wairimu for Readers' Favorite
★★★★★Tamara Ferguson infuses a lot of humor and heart into this moving story about two people finding each other and rediscovering love amid tragedy. Two Hearts in Retreat lives up to its name and pulls at your heartstrings with a combination of stellar character work and an emotionally impactful plot. Mel and Steve's burgeoning romance is at the center of the narrative. Both are grieving the loss of their loved ones and discover an inexplicable connection the moment they meet, only to be scared to take the next step further due to past heartbreak. I liked Ferguson's depiction of war veterans, showcasing the sacrifices they make in the name of their country and its people. A fantastic book for romance lovers-Pikasho Deka for Readers' Favorite

About the author

Writing both steamy and sweet compassionate stories of fate that are wonderfully romantic, Tamara Ferguson is the 8X Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Winning, Amazon Top 25, #1 International and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Tales of the Dragonfly Romance Suspense Series, the Kissed By Fate Series, the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Series, the Daydreams and Dragonflies Sweet Romance Series as well as a participating author in the Hot Hunks Steamy Romance Collection.
If you don't believe in the power of fate, you shouldn't read her stories, because Tamara always writes a happily-ever-after for her heroines and heroes, since it doesn't always work out that way in real life.
Besides earning 2 designated GREAT ON KINDLE Selections, her stories have won over 35 awards (mostly for her Two Hearts Wounded Warriors) in the categories of Holiday Fiction, Military Fiction, Fiction Intrigue, Novellas, Mystery, Women's Fiction, Suspense, Fiction Thrillers, Short Story Fiction, New Adult, and Young Adult Romance.
A member of the RWA, the Authors' Billboard, and the Independent Authors' Book Network, her stories have been included in several #1 bestselling anthologies, including those she's published under Tammysdragonfly.
Since she remains a full-time caregiver for an autistic son (along with a bunch of adopted pets!), you can usually find Tammy working at home, where she spends a lot of time not completing her numerous home improvement projects, because she's writing or helping author friends promote their books on twitter.
If you’d like to subscribe to her newsletter, she provides information about new releases as well as free books and available promotional sign ups and giveaways.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2024This is a moving and captivating story. When I cannot put a book down is how I judge how good it is. This book I could not put down. I loved the strength and compassion of the characters. Definitely a must read! It is a stand alone but I am loving the series. Tamara Ferguson is my new favorite author to read.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024Every one of this series show how wounded or people with disabilities can overcome life's obstacles and find meaningful futures. Every book is excellent to read.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023Melinda McDaniel aka Mel is an RN with a promising career lay out in front of her. Her personal life is happy and moving the way she wants it to go until tragedy happens.
Steve Ryder had to quit his dream job in the Navy due to his wife getting cancer and passing away. But his luck changes and things fall into place for a new job in a new town.
Eventually Mel gets a job at the same place as Steve but they both butt heads very quick. Time will only tell how things work out between them.
It was a good quick read that I could not put down. I had to know what happened. I know this is one of many in a line of books and I have not read any others but this book did not leave me feeling left out I had the information that I needed. It easily can be read as a standalone book. There are many characters that are very interesting and I could easily read books about them as well. I liked both Mel and Steve they were strong and hard workers.
I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily reviewed this book. This is my honest review.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024Though parts are sad, it's about life and the twists and turns it takes wherther we are ready or not. As a sister to a child who was handicapped, I love stories with people like these who truly care.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2022Steve was working as Luke's physical therapist when he first met Mel. She came to visit Luke to help him move forward after looking his best friend Hawk who was her fiancee. Steve yelled at them for smoking and he and Mel seemed to fight most of the time they where together. I was so happy to finally get to read their entire story and I loved getting to know little Ben.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2022A must read story and series. I have read 18 stories in this series and love each one. Don’t miss this story and series.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023This is the second book by this author that I have read; it is book 18 in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior series. Steve Ryder, a former Navy medic and now a physical therapist, has lost his wife to cancer. Melinda McDaniel, a soon-to-be RN, has lost her fiance, Hawk, an Air Force pilot. Circumstances have brought them together for their careers at the Wounded Warrior facility. Time and patience and a little boy named Ben bring them together in a heartwarming story. Good read with a feel-good ending! I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023Having suffered devastating losses, Mel and Steve find a surprising connection whilst dealing with a wounded soldier who is battling through PTSD and the terrible wounds to his body. There is sorrow and tragedy in this novel but also some humor and lighter moments as Mel's bubbling personality comes to the fore. They also find accord whilst working with Ben and it is through him that they finally come to the realization that life can be beautiful again, bringing healing and mending their hearts. Although this novel is part of a series, it is a stand-alone and closes on a sweet note. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
