Very well done straight contemporary romance. It is hard to do a straight contemporary in my opinion. There is no suspense to fill up the plot no historical details etc. So even though this has a hot marine on the cover, it's not military romance because those all have a suspense element really. This guy was fresh off his 3rd tour of duty and he suffered from PTSD. I thought the portrayal of his symptoms and his efforts to overcome it were sensitively done. He also had some other baggage that added conflict. But I really liked him as a character. The heroine was also nicely done. She certainly had baggage to overcome and while the hero helped somewhat with that, just by his existence since he didn't know what her baggage was, she was written such that you knew she would have been okay without him. He didn't fix her. I enjoyed that strength. I liked it well enough that I'm going to search out the first two books in the series.… (meer)

I was surprised how much I liked this. Not my usual genre. I prefer sci-fi. Enjoyed it so much I immediately searched and got other books by the same author.

The Officer and the Secret (Semper Fidelis. Always… door Jeanette Murray

Like the other books in this series, the plot of this book has been often used in romance, the woman who accidentally gets pregnant, so the main characters must marry. But also like the rest of the series, the author manages to keep the book fresh due to the interesting characters with unique backgrounds and experiences. Another good read in this series.

The Officer Says "I Do" (Semper Fidelis. Always… door Jeanette Murray

The story has been done before. Man gets drunk and accidentally gets married, but the characters provide enough depth to keep the story interesting enough to read. The main characters are opposites in superficial ways but find common ground in what they care about most and that is their families and each other.
