"If you crave a romance dotted with tension, tattoos, and thunder—but also want to feel the emotional journey—Courageous delivers. It reminds you that true strength isn’t denial of fear—it’s the courage to live with it. For readers weary of “toxic alpha saves the broken female” tropes, this one’s different. Clark isn’t broken, she’s surviving and growing.

It may just be the most honest MC romance you’ll ever read."
