Romance & Veterans

Did you know there’s a chapter of romance writers who are also veterans? Check out my favorite page on their website: The Before and After page with military photos and current photos as well. To all of you marvelous ladies, and to all those who have served in the armed forces of any country, Happy Veterans Day.

So, here’s a question for you: which is your favorite military romance, and, which is your favorite romance written by a veteran?

For me, military romance is a tough sell. There are some military romances that featured violence that still gives me the shivers, but there are some military romances that have rocked my socks. One of the first reviews I wrote for this site was Suzanne Brockmann’s Unsung Hero, which I liked – and gave a B.

But as for my favorite veteran writer, it’s totally PC Cast. Whether she’s writing about heroines who are HALF A HORSE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD or starring in female centric re-tellings of ancient myths, I love Cast’s books, especially the Goddess series.

Happy veterans day to those who have and continue to serve. You rock like damn and whoa and merde and mon dieu (TM Nathalie Grey).

    Calling all readers and authors with military connections – if you write about the military, are related in any way (veteran, spouse, brat, family member) or want to learn more about the military, please contact me by email.  I volunteer with Support Our Soldiers (SOS) SOS America Inc. – a 501(c)(3) charity registered with DOD’s “America Supports You” network.  I write the monthly newsletter to promote romance to the military and vice versa.  I also give away books generously donated by those connected to the military.  You might be surprised to learn which NYT’s bestselling authors were brats, spouses, and vets!  Happy reading,

    I have to go with MelB on this one. A Soldier’s Heart by Kathleen Korbel was a moving romance that truly highlighted what the nurses went through during the Vietnam War. It was a side of the war I hadn’t seen much of and when I later visited the Wall, I made sure to linger a bit longer at the Nurses Memorial Statue.

    Gennita Low’s The Hunter and The Protector rock!  I highly recommend her if you haven’t given her a try.
