There are some debts you can’t repay.
Josh Walker is loyal, reckless, and every girl’s dream. But he only has eyes for December Howard, the girl he’s craved since his high school hockey days. Together they have survived grief, the military, distance, and time as they’ve fought for stolen weekends between his post at Ft. Rucker and her college at Vanderbilt. Now that Josh is a medevac pilot and Ember is headed toward graduation, they’re moving on—and in—together.
Ember never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh means accepting whatever the army dictates—even when that means saying goodbye as Josh heads to Afghanistan, a country that nearly killed him once before and that took her father. But filling their last days together with love, passion, and plans for their future doesn’t temper Ember’s fear, and if there’s one thing she’s learned from her father’s death, it’s that there are some obstacles even love can’t conquer.
Flight school is over.
This is war.

Review by Kristin ~ 5 out of 5 stars!
“You and me against the world, right?”
Oh holy mother of all that is good…
Before you read this book I recommend the following to have on hand: Kleenex, Xanax, and alcohol of choice. 😉 Rebecca has MASTERED the art of ripping your heart out, stomping on it, building it back up, and doing it all over again.
“You are my dream now, December Howard. You are everything to me. My heart beats for you , my soul is only whole when you’re near. You’re my home, my shelter, my wildest fantasy, and I cannot imagine a future where you’re not mine, because I’m yours in every sense of the word.”
Hallowed Ground is the conclusion to the Flight & Glory series and what a conclusion it is! Ember and Josh have survived high school, a deployment, college, and flight school. Just recently having moved in together, neighbors with Jagger and Paisley, Josh and Ember are living the good life. They have made it through everything possible now right? Smooth sailing from here on out right?
Wrong.
Life has started. Real life. Ugly life. Hard life. Heartbreaking life. Can’t undo this life. Irrevocably changed life. Army life.
Deployment orders are issued and Jagger and Josh are up. What happens when Ember’s worst nightmare comes true? The same knock on the door. The same somber looks from the casualty assistance officers. The same shock. The same fear. Can there be a different result? If Josh comes home, will be still be her Josh? Will this deployment be the one that breaks him?
This book is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, heart break and love. I wouldn’t change a thing. Rebecca has an AMAZING gift and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!!
“I’ve never been able to hold back with you. It’s always been full measures or nothing. No halfway bullshit.”
She ran her fingers through my hair, and I groaned when she scratched her nails lightly over my scalp. God, it felt so damn good.
“I’ve always loved that about us. We’re all in. Always.”
“Yes.”
“But that’s not ugly. Nothing you’ve told me is ugly.”
My stomach dropped, and we passed through the station on route to Peak Eight. I looked up to the green mountains, their beauty overwhelming, their sheer size distorted because we were too close to accurately gauge their mass.
“Even knowing everything we have, this incredible love that we share, our beautiful life that we’re building…” I shook my head and looked down at her knees.
“Josh.” She tipped my chin. “I’m here. No matter what you’re about to say.”
“Medevacing the wounded… Ember, I’ve found my purpose. I’ll always go when they call. How many deployments can you wait through? How many times can I leave you?”
Fear streaked through her eyes, but she masked it before I could question her. “As many as it takes. I would rather sit home and wait for you, than spend a lifetime with anyone else.”
Rebecca Yarros is a hopeless romantic and lover of all things chocolate, coffee, and Paleo. In addition to being a mom, military wife, and blogger, she can never choose between Young Adult and New Adult fiction, so she writes both. She’s a graduate of Troy University, where she studied European history and English, but still holds out hope for an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Her blog, The Only Girl Among Boys, has been voted the Top Military Mom Blog the last two years, and celebrates the complex issues surrounding the military life she adores.
When she’s not writing, she’s tying on hockey skates for her kids, or sneaking in some guitar time. She is madly in love with her army-aviator husband of eleven years. They finally can call Colorado home along with their gaggle of rambunctious kiddos and snoring English Bulldog.
