When U.S. Marine Corp Sgt. Orion MacKinnon loses both his legs in the bloody sands of Afghanistan, he forsakes his soul along with them. After retiring to a remote location in the snowy mountains of Alaska with his Special Forces canine companion—a German Shepherd named Zeus—he becomes a recluse and vows never to wear the prosthetic legs he keeps buried out of sight…

until a lone hiker becomes trapped beneath an avalanche on his mountain.

The woman Orion calls Hope can’t recall a shred of her former life. As he tends to her wounds she slowly begins to unravel the tight seclusion he has wrapped around himself.

She can’t remember her past. He only wants to forget his.

However, the two have more in common with the forces that brought them together than they realize, including the sinister presence that will threaten their very lives.

When their pasts collide, will they survive the future?

I sleep on the floor in the bedroom now. I need to be there if she wakes up choking or gasping for air or for any number of other dangerous complications that could arise through the night.As I drift off tonight, something happens. Something new. Almost immediately, I’m dreaming.Dreaming of Hope.Some part of me remembers and knows she’s injured and in a coma—but here in my dream, she is very much awake.Very much alive.Reality and the dream morph together until I can’t quite tell them apart. Soon, the dream is as lifelike as anything.

Orion is the first book by Raeah Wilding and as firsts go...I'm hooked. I do want to clarify that Raeah Wilding appears to be a pen name for another writer and this book has me curious about the other work that she writes.

Anyway, to say that I LOVED Orion is an understatement! There was so much to this story that I was completely entertained and sucked in. Depth is a good word for it.

I really had no idea what I was getting when I started this book. I was totally blindsided by the twists, which made this book for me.

Hope and Orion make the best couple and frankly I was a little sad to see it all end! They provided me a couple laughs and many tears. They drew out one of the best emotional responses I have had in a long time and I loved every minute.

The description states Constellations Series #1, but honestly I don't know what to tell you there. I felt like this book had a solid ending and I couldn't really pinpoint which of the secondary characters would even get a book. So my only assumption is that they will be a series of standalones with unrelated characters. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more.

Life has been busy for me so I had to read this over a couple days and I didn't keep track of reading time very well. I would estimate it took me over 6 hours. The content of this book though ensures that had I had uninterrupted time, I would have binged through this whole story in one sitting.

Get you some Orion! I promise you won't be disappointed!

I am giving Orion 5 stars.
