Fighting For Nadia by Nicole Flockton is part of Badge of Honor: Tarpley Volunteer Fire Department, a world where authors enter into author Susan Stoker’s Badge of Honor series and write their own stories. With Susan Stoker’s permission, and encouragement, of course. This group of books centers around the Tarpley VDF which was featured in one of Ms. Stoker’s Badge of Honor books. There are six authors participating centering their stories around Tarpley VFD. Nicole Flocton’s story is the warmhearted adventure of two doctors who meet at a Tarpley town event and sparks fly.Nadia Fletcher’s roots and family are back in Boston. When she wasn’t accepted for an Emergency Room residency at any of the hospitals in the Boston area Nadia accepted one in Kerrville, Texas. She isn’t ready to turn her back on her Boston roots just yet though. After all she is a diehard New England Patriots football fan. But Texas is growing on her. She is enjoying her job and all the experience she is getting at the Hill Country Medical Center ER which she wouldn’t be getting in Boston. She has made some great friends in Texas and the icing on the cake is Mitchell “Buff” Anderson. He’s one hot cowboy member of the Tarpley Volunteer Fire Department. She is definitely attracted to him and is hoping the attraction is mutual

Oh yeah! The attraction is very mutual. Buff Alexander is an ex-Army surgeon who suffers from PTSD. He finds Nadia to be someone who soothes his psyche when a PTSD episode ensues. Plus she is drop-dead gorgeous! Thanks to Nadia’s encouragement Buff is seeing a therapist and is even considering going back to being the excellent doctor he is.

I liked how this author gets to the heart of how difficult it is for a person to deal with PTSD but also how wonderful it is to find a special someone who grounds the PTSD sufferer and makes the nightmares become a little better. Both Nadia and Buffare strong characters, very giving and dedicated. I really liked them.
