Review of Hard Corps by Scott Hildreth

5 stars
Hard Corps is a breath taking novel about a man named Alec Jacob. The kind of man that is honest and true to the very core of his being.  In this book we learn about his past, the life he had before he was a member of the Selected Sinners Motorcycle Club. 

We learn of his Military Service, his sense of duty and dedication to his men. We learn a lot about Alec, and there are several parts of this book that made me catch my breath or down right had tears streaming down my cheeks. 


Scott Hildreth writes a in such a manner that connects his readers to his characters that feel downright real at times. There is an emotional connection that happens when reading parts of the story, ones that some of us can connect to. 


I'm not going to give you any more details into this book as I want you to discover the parts of this book that made me gasp and made me cry and there are others that will have you trying laughing. The ending was another part that had me in tears, but they were happy tears. 


Read this book and share it with your friends. Mr. Hildreth certainly knows how to write beautifully book about a man who was looking for one special person that loves him and accepts him just the way he is. You all really want to read this book! It's packed full of the emotional kind of stuff that I look for in a novel. If I could give this more than 5 stars I would! 

Even though it's not a military romance, my friends who enjoy those kinds of books will appreciate the attention to detail of A-Trains back story. 
I for one will be reading everything written by  SD Hildreth!

Review of Protecting the Future by Susan Stoker

I received this Author Copy of Protecting the Future in exchange for an honest review.

As the last installment in the "SEAL of Protection" series, Ms. Stokes continues to keep her readers on the edge of their seats with the drama and story line that grabs you from the first page and never lets you go!

It safe years into the future from the last book and we get a glimpse into the lives of each of the team members along with their wives children. 

The military drama that is portrayed in this book is so true to life. Your throat will grow tight and tears will roll down your cheeks before you finish this book! Get a box of tissues (I recommend the 3 ply kind), a cup of tea and snuggle yourself in a quilt in a quite spot to read. Be prepared to call for take out, because you're not going to want to put this book down! This is a series that will grab your heart never let you go!

We get to meet new people who will be in other series written by Ms Stoker that gives her readers something to look forward to.  I refuse to give away any part of this book as I want readers to discover the storylines for themselves! 
But it. Read it. Review it. Share it with your friends!

Review of Loving Lily by JM Madden

Loving Lilly (Lost and Found, #4.5)Loving Lilly by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

JM Madden is at the top of my list of Must Read authors of Military Romance.

The story of Diego and Lily starts with Grif and Kendall's book "Her Forever Hero". Their story picks up during his recovery from the gruesome car accident that nearly took his life. She visits him while he's in the hospital recovering from his injuries. Their friendship in tenuous at best, he's a bit leery of what her intentions are to him. Is she there to ridicule or make fun of him? Lily is so much more than what Diego sees on the surface. He soon realizes that he not only enjoys her attention he needs it to breathe. He also begins to wonder if he can be the kind of man that Lily needs.

Lily is a former model turned clothing designer. The more that Lily are thrown together, the more they get to want to know more about the other. Even with all of Diego's issues due to his injuries and his PTSD, Lily finds him intriguing. She's sees the real man underneath of the eyepatch and the gruff exterior.

Soon Lily's having problems of her own. Will Diego show her that he's the man she needs to protect her?

Read this book! Read the series!

Review of True Courage by Jax Hunter

True Courage (True Heroes Military Romance #2)True Courage by Jax Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this Author Copy of "True Courage" in exchange for an honest review.

Book 2 in the USAF Pararescue " TRUE HERO'S" series is every bit of an emotional roller coaster ride that you got in book 1, maybe even more so. I'll be honest I got weepy in more than one part of this book.

There are two stories in this book, each will leave you asking yourself what are you willing to do for the one you love. Is there a limit of how much heartache you can silently endure?

Karen and Daniel and their love story will grip you and stay with you for a long time. Have tissues ready (get the 3ply tissues), because their love is the kind we all hope to have. But their story is secondary to our main characters Lily and Rick. I have a lump in my throat just writing about these two characters.

Julie Atherton is an amazing lead in this book, her character is well written and you get this sense that she's taken a lot of care to have her act together. Too bad her love life is non-existent. She's a well respected massage therapist who owns her own business and has employees who think very highly of her. She volunteers her time to the SAR- that's where she meets Rick for the first time.

Lt. Colonel Rick McIntyre- he's a powerful presence. He's crashed his Blackhawk and is dying on the side of a mountain. If he doesn't freeze to death, he's sure to die from the injuries he's sustained in the crash. His only life line is Lily, the voice that keeps him clinging to the hope that his team will get to him and the others in time. They talk during the long wait and get to know one another - maybe even falling a little bit in love. But love isn't easy when they have obstacles to overcome.

From the very first pages, this story will draw you in for heart pounding rescue drama! Jax Hunter is an author to put in your Must Read List! I'm not going to give any more of is book away as I want you to read it and discover the plot twists and turns for yourself!

Note- as in her first book, there aren't any sex scenes but plenty of sexual tension between our main characters.

Review for True Valor by Jax Hunter

True Valor (True Heroes Military Romance #1)True Valor by Jax Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received an author copy of the book True Valor for an honest review.

This book grabbed me right from the first page with its subject matter.
It's true whodunnit murder mystery that has quite a few twists and turns. This is a first time for me reading anything written by Jax Hunter and I can honestly tell you that it won't be my last! This is a new series about PJ's and what they go they on a rescue and in their private lives.

Nic D'Onofrio call sign "Batman" and Julie (our amnesiac heroine whose family had been murdered )have chemistry. Ms. Hunter can write a book that is filled with emotional angst and trust issues for both of our main characters. Although there is no sex in this book, there is sexual tension between out two main leads and trust me, it's going to get your attention. There parts of this book that will leave you trying to read faster, pages that will leave you with tears will be streaming down your face. I'm not going to give away any more details-buy it and read it, you're not going to be disappointed!

I'm giving this book 5 stars, YES it's just that good!
