Holt's Hope (Protect and Serve #5) by Pandora Pine

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





Former Army pilot Quentin Harding has finally gotten his life back on track after a devastating injury ended his military career. Flying has always been his greatest dream come true, a dream he thought was over after his helicopter was shot down. Qualifying as an Angel Flight pilot, Quentin can take to the skies once again, helping people receive care unavailable in their hometowns.

Cancer patient Holt Robertson’s only lifeline is his weekly Angel Flight chopper trip from Albany to Boston to receive treatment for leukemia while he waits on a potential matching bone marrow donor. Usually a boring trip, he’s surprised to meet new pilot, Quentin, who isn’t at all what Holt bargained for. Tall, and handsome, he’s the kind of man who could give Holt something to live for. If only Quentin felt the same way in return.

When Holt’s condition takes a turn for the worse, Quentin steps up to the plate offering him a place to stay as his course of treatment ramps up. Living in the crazy McCoy household, Holt finds himself falling for Quentin’s brothers, his rambunctious nieces, and falls hardest of all for Quentin himself.

Faced with illness, frustration, and a drop of sunshine, both men fight for love and a bright future filled with endless tomorrows.

Holt’s Hope is the final book in the Protect and Serve series. Catch up with all your favorite characters and their ultimate happy endings!
 




My Rating - 5 Stars!


Holt's Hope is a wonderful addition to the Protect & Serve series. The fifth book in this Pandora Pine series, it's best read as part of the series. 

Holt and Quentin are two men who feel an instant connection. Holt is getting cancer treatments, and finds himself under Quentin's care.

Both men know pain and suffering. Quentin's experiences make it easy for him to feel comfortable with Holt. Of course, Holt is used to people not knowing how to talk to him as he's sick.

These men are fabulous. Quentin's past includes a mentally ill mother who couldn't care for him. He spent years in the military, leaving without a leg. This is a man who knows suffering, and yet also knows how to survive.

Then there's Holt who's sick and isn't used to a caring, supportive, and accepting family like Quentin's.

They are wonderful together, easily falling in love, with both being exactly what the other needs.

And as always, Mandy and David are family goals. They are absolutely amazing parents. And we get more Lola, who I just adore. I would read this just for her. This entire large family is amazing. As usual, the author excels in developing a strong and loving family who the reader easily wishes to be a part of. 

The beauty of this author is her ability to write a tale with some extremely serious issues without ever making the story heavy. I appreciate this whole heartedly. It's a gift to keep everything light despite the trauma involved. And as a reader, I can't get enough of the way Pandora writes. 

I'll admit I was a little distracted by some of the Albany info, as I wish it had been the real names instead of made up names. But that is on me, and most people wouldn't ever even notice. But, I did cringe every time the airport's name is mentioned.

Holt's Hope is sweet, tender, and cute. And the ending, oh the ending! It's wonderfully sweet and perfect. Overall, this is another feel-good, charming Pandora Pine read.
