When Jacob “Dax” Daxton returns home from war, he has to fight a new battle – the one to find his place in the world. The man who normally has a clear path to victory surrounded by brothers in combat is suddenly lost and alone. After meeting Beckett Ridge, a bearded tattoo artist, Dax’s journey begins winding down an unexpected path.
Still reeling from events that shook his foundation, Beck has never been part of anything meaningful. Now faced with responsibilities foreign and daunting, Dax’s broken spirit mends Beck in ways he never even knew he was destroyed.
As both struggle to find balance, they are healed by the comfort they find in one other. On the other side of chaos, they hope to find themselves On Solid Ground.

I fell in love with Melissa Collins' writing during her Love series. She is a master at capturing love and loss. I first read her m/m Let Love Live truly and it broke me and hooked me to her future books. With that said, I was more than excited to dive into On Solid Ground the moment I heard of it's release.
"How? How do you let go of the guilt of being alive?""By living the best fucking life you can."
Dax is a truly broken man and desperately wants to find himself after returning home post-war. Suffering from extreme anxiety and PTSD has landed him many attacks and with them, violence comes easy.
Beck has had a very tough life starting with his less than steller upbringing. With wanting a more meaningful life, and dealing with the cards life has dealt, he's not wanting to bring too much stress to his already packed day to day.
Both men are trying to forget their pasts to have a better future. The real question is, is will their futures include each other?
"We dont' become united; it's as if we've always been united somehow and these movements simply remind us that our other half was always out there."
If you're looking for a new romance and aren't afraid of the m/m aspect, read On Solid Ground. It's a wonderful mix of angst, love, humor and the thought of a better life.
Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.
