Alex Rojas is a retired Navy SEAL and is doing his best to keep his life together. Along with his responsibilities as a father to nine-year-old daughter and his job rehabbing dogs as part of the Search and Protect Corporation, he is working hard to cope with his PTSD. When he meets the extremely skittish Elisa Hall, he turns some of his attention on her. They meet in an ER after Alex's daughter is injured during sports, and Elisa has a sprained wrist.

Elisa is on the run from a dangerous, controlling man. She may be engaged, but she certainly wasn't happy, but now she is in danger. She accepts Alex's help, although at first he scares her too. But, she can see past his fierce nature. She sees him with his daughter, and his rehab dog, Souze, and knows he has a tender heart. As much as Alex wants to protect Elisa, he must consider the safety of those close to him, most of all, his daughter. And Alex is indeed a wonderful father.

Ultimate Courage is a thrilling book. There is danger facing Elisa quite often, and it is truly riveting. The pacing never lets up and the story delivers a great conclusion. Souze, Alex's dog is amazing, as are the other characters in the story, including some we met in the first book of the series.

Although this book is part of a series, each book can be read as a standalone. However, the other books in the series are Extreme Honor, Absolute Trust, Winter Valor, Total Bravery, Fierce Justice and Forever Strong.
