There are several authors you listed as your top fave that I love- Linda Howard, Diana Palmer and Catherine Mann. I do like military romances and especially those that read authentic. You have great taste! (and so you TRRCs know Melissa is my full name but since you already had a Melissa on staff, I went with Elissa!

I agree wholeheartedly with you. You know I adore SEALs and special forces, have the military fiction and nonfiction books to prove it. And LOVE the stories that show these guys in action on our soil or not and want a heroine who can handle one of these strong alpha men. But I want that realism. I want to know the author at least read one book about how things work in their world, since it is certainly different from ours(that of a civilian or cop). There are some wonderful authors out there who do an outstanding job of writing about military heroes and heroines, a few I feel I have lost touch with what made me adore them to begin with and seem to be getting away from the "military" part of their stories. But then you have the ones who throw a military character into the mix and you just laugh at what happens because it's so fake. The story might be good but it loses me as a military keeper. Hopefully some of this has made sense. Anyway I agree with you Livia and awesome post!<BR/><BR/>WendyKWKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951723803188389335noreply@blogger.com
