Book Review: Left at the Altar by Justine Davis

Left at the Altar is the second in a series of three books by author Justine Davis. This sequel to Stevie's Chase tells the story of Stevie's brother, Sean, who lost his fiancee after he lost his leg. Now, Rory has come back into Sean's life and he is torn between the hurt and devastation he felt when she left him standing at the altar and the love he still feels for her. She is desperate for Sean to understand why she left, and she is in danger from the man she left him for. There is a lot more to her story than Sean ever knew, and as they reconnect, and as he learns the real reason she left him, we watch as Sean tries to decide what he feels for her and where to go from there.

Justine Davis has done her research well to portray an amputee character in an accurate and well-rounded way and as a romantic lead, and the reason she wrote Sean's story, she says, is because fans of Stevie's Chase contacted her and wanted to know more about Sean and to see a story with him as the lead.

This is an excellent wounded-hero romance, and I recommend not only this book but the whole series, which is best when read in the correct order. Start with Stevie's Chase (another wounded-hero romance about a man on the run [Chase] and the woman [Stevie] who figures out his true identity), then read Left at the Altar, and finish it off with Morning Side of Dawn, which is another excellent wounded-hero romance which tells the story of Sean's best friend, Dar, who is a double leg amputee, and Chase's sister, Cassie. I have re-read this series multiple times and still love them every single time. If you like wounded-hero romance, and if you like romance featuring characters like Sean and Dar, you'll like this trilogy by Justine Davis.
