He was the only reason I survived at the hands of Brandon, I would just close myself off and think of him and the times we had together. Isabelle is now, trying to recover from an abusive marriage and trying to pave a new life for herself slowly. Because Isabelle hears word that Axel has been killed, and the baby she is pregnant with she loses through a miscarriage. But Isabelle never imagined that it would cost her hell and back before she would be reunited with Axel again.

They love each other passionately and want to be together. Axel knows that he wants Isabelle for his, but it will cost them some time for him to join the military and go through basic training before they can marry. Axel has been raised in foster homes all of his life, and can't wait to be free of them. However it begins with two high school sweethearts. I knew it was a bit darker, considering some of the elements that are introduced.This story is one of the second chance romances that you really gravitate towards because there are outer influences that tear this couple apart, although by the end you do think that there could have been more effort.

And this series is through the Audible Romance Package so I was more than willing to grab this one up and boy this book put me through the wringer. This author came on my radar last year with her second chance western trilogy that was the BOMB so after hearing the ladies at Scandalicious Chats, rave about this series and these kick ass military heroes that are the Corps Security I just knew that I needed to pick up Axel which is the first book in the series. *Contains Few Spoilers*Axel is the first book in the Corps Security series by Harper Sloan.
