Proof of Life

Scars and Stripes Trilogy, Book 1

By: Raquel Riley

Narrated by: Lance West, Curtis Michael Holland

Love heals even the deepest wounds.

West

After giving twelve years of my life to the service, I didn't just lose my leg. I lost everything, including my career. When the dust settled, the only person still standing by my side in the rubble was Brandt—the single lifeline I had left to a world I didn't want to live in anymore.

With painstaking care, he healed my body and my mind. When he eventually started healing my heart, I realized I didn't just need him in my life, I needed him in ways I'd never wanted him before.

Brandt

Watching West struggle every day was tearing me apart. If he could only see what I do, he wouldn't see flaws and hopelessness. He'd see a courageous, selfless, brilliant leader. A guy with no filter who always makes me laugh. Someone who never asks questions before offering to bail my ass out of trouble.

He'd see the man I've come to love as more than just my best friend.

Proof of Life is a double bi-awakening MM romance between best friends with a heavy dose of healing and angst. These courageous vets prove that when all is lost, love heals even the deepest, most painful wounds. Book one of the Scars and Stripes trilogy.

Loved so much!

What a spectacular read/ listen! Proof Of Life was so well written by Raquel Riley, it hit me with so many feels! West and Brandt had me on an emotional roller coaster, the ups and downs, highs and lows, the hotness, I'm here for it all! I just loved their relationship and how it budded into more than friendship. It was everything! And I also loved the B*tches with Stitches, they were so freaking awesome and look forward to more of their stories! Really awesome start to a new series, loved it!

The audiobook was fantastic! I laughed, I cried, and just felt so much emotion. Lance West and Curtis Michael Holland did an amazing job, loved it so much!

Love

This is one of the best books I have listened too and the only book I have written a review for. The best story.
Thank you.

It’s just so good

I love them so much. It gives so much insight and truth into our troops’ lives and sacrifices. Their love story is so beautiful!! Their souls were destined to meet.

Powerful, emotional and sweet all at the same time

Wow - a fantastic story! Just the right amount of drama. No unnecessary relationship angst and no third act breakup. A non sugar-coated journey of recovery and self discovery for two vets who need each other to survive (figuratively and literally). Absolutely worth the credit. Couldn’t stop listening to this and finished in a day.

so much emotions.

absolutely loved this book. it's obviously about military but trying to live after. I'm sure there are those that will complain about something with something not correct like they do for all military stories but it's still very emotional & beautiful story. so much support that so much of us need. so much live that so much of us need. I laughed, cried, & just couldn't stop listening which really messed with my sleep. can not wait for the next book. that's the only issue I have is finding this book before the next books were released. worth the credit or money.
