Love's Glory

Revolutionary Heart, Book Three

By: Janice Jarrell

Narrated by: Walker Williams

In October of 2017 cocky, alpha-male Irishman, Colin Campbell, sergeant in charge of the special assault unit of the University of Virginia Campus Police Force, dove in front of a bullet meant for a University of Virginia student. The bullet shattered his thigh and severed his femoral artery, a wound which nearly took Colin’s life and left him temporarily disabled. His infirmities robbed him of the strength and athletic prowess which had been his for most of his life leaving him humiliated and bereft.

His partner, Joshua Abrams, a doctor of psychology at the Rainier Clinic in Charlottesville, never once left his injured lover’s side. He poured every ounce of strength and love he possessed into healing the magical Irishman whom he adored and was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude when Colin was taken off the critical list. Thinking that they had survived their trial, he took Colin home, believing that their happiness was now assured.

But like many injured police officers, Colin subsequently withdrew from his partner. Overwhelmed by feelings of shame and embarrassment, he devoted himself almost obsessively to the physical therapy with which he hoped to rebuild his strength and reclaim the life he had lost. Unable to share his pain and feelings of inadequacy, he shut Joshua out, leaving him to cope alone with the post-traumatic stress he suffered as a result of Colin’s shooting.

In the following months Colin and Joshua fought to keep their relationship alive. Although deeply in love, they felt powerless to cope with the after-effects of Colin’s injuries both to his body and to his pride as a man, and to heal the emotionally devastating PTSD with which Joshua suffered.

Love’s Glory tells the story of this painful and challenging time in Colin and Joshua’s life. As we join them now, Colin is still walking with a cane and still suffering the physical after effects of his injuries. But he and Joshua are both in therapy and are now dealing positively with the emotional and psychological damage they both endured.

They face their future side by side, determined to stand or fall together, as soul mates and lovers. This book follows them on their journey as they move toward the happy future they both long to share. They have moments of anxiety and intense emotion, but you can count on a happy ending. In fact, you can count on a happy listen. In this book, Colin and his beloved Joshua have left their trials behind and now revel in Love’s Glory.

This book contain mature content including explicit sexual relations between Colin and Joshua.

Extremely emotional

Walker Williams does more than just bring this story to life, he makes so I can easily picture everything playing out. How he managed to make the characters so real, including the foreign language parts so natural, is in itself is commendable.

I hope I don’t have any spoilers here. It’s hard not to when so much of this book tugs at my heart. This book made me feel like I was visiting home. I really was happy to catch up with Colin and Josh. Such different guys and yet they fit so well. It’s the continuing conversation between the two that is completely open and emotional. Their wedding had me in tears. Josh telling Colin to talk to Kathy, that would tear anyone up. Josh telling Colin’s cousins that Colin would never sing a song about Kathy again. Actually there are just too many parts of this story that is emotional.

And last but not the least, these guys are hot together. The sex and the emotional attachment between them is to be envied.

I love this author’s stories. She has such a talent for describing places and conversations so I feel I almost have an a intimate associate with their lives. I can’t wait until the next story on audio.

4.5 stars for a beautiful story

A beautiful continuation of Josh and Colin's story which includes their highly anticipated wedding. This book left me with the feels.

STORY: 4.5 STARS
Beautiful, sweet, steamy, romantic, and the perfect wedding for a brilliant couple. The third book of the Revolutionary Heart series was everything I expected it to be and so much more. I love Colin and Josh, and after everything that happened in the first two books, they deserved a little downtime. there were a few moments, but they were small blips compared to denying love, surviving riots, living through being shot, etc. LOL.

This book will pull at your heartstrings and there are a few moments when you will need a tissue. But those are some of my favorite parts of the story.

NARRATION: 4.5 STARS
Walker Williams once again delivers a great performance, bringing the characters to life. The emotion, the colorfulness, and the imagery of Ireland are there for you to imagine as he narrates the story for us.

OVERALL: 4.5 STARS
A great story and narration, overall, I'm giving this story 4.5 stars. It will overwhelm you with emotion and leave you with butterflies as you read or listen to the book. I recommend one or the other, or even both. One-click today!

loved it!

This is the 3rd book in the series but I think you can easily read it as a standalone because the author does an excellent job of recapping the events of the previous books. In this book Colin and Josh are getting ready for their wedding and their honeymoon to Ireland. Colin is still dealing with his injury and there is a minor complication but mostly it's a super sweet and happy book. Very romantic and heartwarming. I love both main characters. They're deep and well developed and feel like real people. I loved reading about the trip to Ireland the most. I felt like I was there with them. And the narrator was brilliant! Great book, highly recommend it!

Beautiful

Such a beautiful love story! After everything that Colin and Joshua went through in Love's Trials, this was the perfect healing novel. Through good and bad, happiness and sadness, trials and tribulations. This is my favourite book of 2020 so far.
Janice Jarrell is one of the best authors when it comes to telling a truly amazing story.
Be ready to smile, laugh and cry. You won't regret this book. I strongly look forward to the next book in the series Love's Lawyer.

Love Heals❤️🥀

This is book 3 in the Revolutionary hearts series and is best read in the series order.
After Collin gets shot in book 2 he withdraws from life and his partner, Joshua. He still suffers the physical effects of his injury but is doing much better now, especially with Johua by his side, every step of the way. Collin and Joshua have evolved as a couple and now marriage is in the cards.
This was delightfully fun to read. Much lighter than the previous book for sure. This book is about healing, trusting and moving forward after the aftermath. I absolutely enjoyed this one. Walker Williams did a phenomenal narration as always.

Two beautiful souls unite.

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased review. I have listened to many beautiful love stories and Janice Jarrell has written one of the best. To be loved so intensively by another through the good and tough times is a love everyone wishes for. The sex scenes are actually true love scenes and this makes them special as well as explosive. This story deals with the emotions associated with planning a wedding and the concerns of meeting new family members. There will also be a few bumps in the road but Josh and Colin have learned to communicate and trust each other. I thought the trip to Ireland was such a magical time. This trip made their love even stronger. The narrator definitely contributes to the love and emotions of these characters. He vocalizes the author's words and takes you on the heartwarming adventure. I highly recommend this Audible book. This is truly a love story that will have you swooning. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

fantastic journey of healing and love

Love's Glory by Janice Jarrell is the third book in the Revolutionary Heart series. We continue the journey through love with Joshua and Colin as they adjust to the changes life has dealt, the fears and pain of past events, the hope for the future and their upcoming wedding. The book is about healing, living and loving. I am emotional with these characters and their livestock, I love watching them grow together and heal.
Walker Williams does a fabulous job with the narration. Truly enjoyable experience.

Not so long ago, I reviewed a book called...

‘Love’s Lawyer’ it was the first book in Janice Jarrell’s spin-off series “The Fearless Heart” and now here I sit having gone backwards…something I’m not a fan of doing when reading a series, but something I couldn’t imagine not having done when it comes to the original series “Revolutionary Heart”. I’ve loved these stories so much and ‘Love’s Glory’ is the perfect story to take me from “Revolutionary Heart” to “The Fearless Heart” do I wish I’d read them in order…yeah, I can’t lie I do, but that’s on me for being to impatient to wait for the audio of ‘Love’s Lawyer’ while staying stubborn enough to hold out for the audio of ‘Love’s Glory’, so here I am happily backtracking and honestly this one was so worth it.

'Love's Glory' isn't a mystery or any kind of big drama...nope, this one is what I think we all hope for when we find a couple in a series that worm their way into our heart...this is the final stretch of their journey as Josh and Colin's reach their happily ever after...

Like the previous books I can't say that reading this one and not the others would leave you confused but I truly believe it would leave the reader without a real sense of what these two men have endured in order to be together and to get to this point in their lives.

As in the previous stories it's not just Josh and Colin that the reader gets to catch up with as these men prepare for their big day they're surrounded by friends and family of whom many if not all have appeared in previous stories.

While I love a good thriller/mystery/drama/romance/whatever sometimes it's nice to slip away from all that and enjoy a story about two people who have faced and overcome life's trails getting the happily ever after that they've not only worked for but so fully deserve.

Colin and Josh not only found their way into my heart but as their story has unfolded I've frequently found myself empathizing with them more strongly than I would have expected myself to.

As with previous stories Ms Jarrell has wrapped events around issues that are both real and relevant to the issues of the day while taking license with what is, in order to give this loving couple the happily ever after that they deserve, rather than what current political, social and religious environments might permit.

Once again I was delighted to hear the voice of Walker Williams bringing these characters to life and while "Revolutionary Hearts" may have come to a close, I'm looking forward to whatever comes next in the lives of Colin, Joshua and their friends as things continue with Ms Jarrell's spin-off series... "The Fearless Heart".

An audio book of "Love's Glory" was graciously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I love Joshua and Colin!!

You really need to read the first 2 books or listen to the first 2 stories to fully understand how they get to where they are at. I absolutely loved how Colin and Joshua got to this point. It made them extremely strong, likeable characters. They finally got their HEA! They were perfect for each other even thou they were total opposites in the beginning. I LOVED every word! This is my first time listening to Walker Williams. I wasn't to sure of him at first but he grew on me. Highly recommend…

Much needed/well deserved HEA

FINALLY our lovely men get to the part of their story where the drama and angst are low. I’m thrilled because my heart has been through the wringer with these guys. My emotions needed a reprieve.

This story picks up where we left them, in Love’s Trials. Colin is still stubborn, and not happy about his recovery or working the desk. He’s really trying to come to terms with everything and doing so much better than he was in the last book. He’s now applied to law school, and we find our favorite couple getting married! We also follow them to Ireland, as they have their honeymoon. While there, Colin finally begins to really come to terms with his sister’s suicide. Joshua is by his side, 100%.

I have enjoyed my time with these beautiful men. The writing throughout the series was consistent, as were the characters. I felt their characters remained true to how they were first written to now. Which is always my preference. There’s nothing more disappointing than a major shift in a character’s behavior or mannerism that’s unexplainable.

Walker Williams was the perfect choice to bring this series to life. I’ve enjoyed listening to him give a voice to each character. He really brought the story home.
