ABOUT THE BOOK

(Tell All Secrets #2)
October 24, 2022
Alexander: Stumbling upon the one person you're missing in your life only to screw up and watch her walk away. It's Soul crushing. Heartbreaking. What Lili doesn't know is this Marine's endurance is untamable. I've been beaten down, now it's time to rise, or submit and lose it all. Do I succumb to the darkness and welcome the silence? My sunshine is shrouded in ominous blackness; the trust she placed on me now vanquished. She's gone and I fear my demons will find their way out.
Knock, knock. Poetry is my expression, only now that life is grim. I'm no longer in control. I do not want to hurt those I love, but I cannot keep afloat. I'm drowning, calling for help; the gun is in my hand and I'm eager to pull the trigger.
Liliana: He betrayed my trust and now my skeletons are out of the closet for all to see. If any of my secrets fall in the wrong hands, chaos would follow. I knew I could never love, so why does this hurt so? The monster is at the forefront of my mind, enjoying the game. Time to play. Can I trust Zander and his mates with their vow of protection? If I have learned anything, you should never question a Marine's promise. With music as my emotion, the songs playing behind the locked door tell me of a broken man's world. Sometimes it's the hero that needs saving, this be one of those times. Do not fret, Alexander, I'm going to save ye.

REVIEW
PTSD and severe trauma has made it hard for Zander and Lili to find pleasure in life, much less make it easy for them to give themselves over to love. In Painting Her Fate, we see Lili’s steps to trust another with the demons from her past and let love in, In Battle Born for You we see Zander’s journey to do the same.
There is no doubt the couple fought long and hard against painful memories alone and they desperately need to feel safe and loved. As with Lili, Zander has a tough time of it, which is heart wrenching. He discovers Lili grounds him in the present and makes the pain bearable in the same way he did for her. The bond between Zander and Lili, and the fact their built trust can conquer feelings of inadequacy and silence their monsters, feels truly authentic.
One thing I will say, some parts of the story felt slightly disjointed, Zander and Lili’s confrontation in the beginning especially. Then part of that conflict isn't really resolved and it feels like something big to just leave hanging. Maybe that resolution will come later, with an upcoming story. Meeting the people surrounding Zander and Lily, I am definitely on board to see where life takes them in the Tell All Secrets series.
Also worth noting the audio narration for Battle Born for You is fantastic. This is a huge deal for me since I am an avid audiobook listener and bad narration can ruin the experience. With Battle Born for You that was not an issue.
Thanks for sharing, Valerie! So glad that you enjoyed Battle Born for You
