Finding Purpose is book one in the Colorado Veterans series, this is a lovely second chance romance.  This is my first read by Tiffani Lynn and I really enjoyed it.  I love friends to lovers stories and I was pleased with how this story wove together the past and present.  Told from dual POV's, It gave us glimpses of how both characters were feeling towards their life struggles and feelings for one another.  

Quinn and Judson become best friends while attending the same college.  Judson always noticed her, but at the time he couldn't do anything then be her friend.  While Quinn was going through a difficult time, Judson became the person Quinn could turn too and this cemented their friendship.  They both are harboring secret feelings for one another, but neither act on it until the night before Judson leaves for basic training.  Two souls become one that night, but it's only one night.  Torn apart by distance, Quinn and Judson lose touch until almost ten years later.  Quinn rushes to his side when he's injured while serving overseas, only he doesn't know.  When their mentor dies they both are thrust together again.  Will they both finally reveal their true feelings?  Will Judson be able to move on from his injury?  Can Quinn let go of Judson or will she continue to try to save him?

I felt the emotional and sexual tension throughout the story.  I thought that Tiffani did a great job with the struggles that Judson was dealing with not being in the service anymore.  For feeling like less of a man and his battle with his mind.  I felt that Quinn took steps to make him see that he was worthy, even though he was a jerk.  She was so patient, I personally would have give up numerous times with how he treated her.  But she loved him and that was felt.  

My reasoning behind my star rating is simple.  She jumps ahead in the story with plot lines and then adds some more drama that I didn't think was necessary.  I can't really explain without giving away spoilers.  

Overall, this was a great read.  I felt that it was a story about redemption, forgiveness and true love.  The chemistry felt truthful and real.  I felt the love between them and look forward to check out more in the series.

What a super read I really enjoyed this one and would highly recommend it.
