I hadn’t read a military romance for ages but the other day I just had the urge to pull one from my to-read pile. I’m also going through a Western themed splurge so I’m definitely thinking alpha male! Here are some of my favorite reads with military heroes.
1. Cullen’s Bride by Fiona Brand - a Silhouette Intimate Moment by a New Zealand writer.
2. Forget Me Not by Marliss Melton. This is the book I pulled out of my to-read pile. It’s the writer’s first book. Wow! I enjoyed it so much I’ve ordered the rest of her backlist.
3. On Danger’s Edge by Lise Fuller. This book won a RT Reviewer’s choice award.
4. Suzanne Brockmann - It’s hard to choose from Suzanne’s books. One of my all-time favorites is Letters to Kelly. It made me cry.
5. Lora Leigh - I’m a real fan of Lora’s so I’m adding her Navy Seal series to my list. The first book is Dangerous Games. Actually Amazon says this is book 2 so I’m slightly confused.
6. Kiss and Tell by Cherry Adair. I read this book ages ago and have been a Cherry Adair fan ever since.
7. Seven Days to Forever by Ingrid Weaver - another Silhouette Intimate Moment
8. Catherine Mann with her Wingman Warriors. Anything, Anywhere, Anytime is one of her books.
9. Denise Agnew writes great military heroes. Try Primordial.
10. Eye of the Storm by Maura Seger. This is set during the second world war and came out in 1985. I must reread it to see if it’s as good as I remember. Amazon says it’s a civil war story. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
11. All the Queen’s Men by Linda Howard - not strictly military. The hero John Medina is a CIA Black Ops Specialist.
12. Summer in the City of Sails by Shelley Munro - you didn’t think I’d leave out my own did you? 
The hero is a member of NZ’s SAS.
13. Unforgettable by Shelley Munro. Go on - buy me! I’ve been getting Five star reviews all over the place!
14. And one extra one - just for Mr. Munro. Any of the Sharpe books by Bernard Cornwell or if you prefer check out the DVD’s featuring the hunky Mr. Sean Bean. One of the recent Sharpe books is Sharpe’s Escape The stories are set in the early 1800’s.
Have I forgotten one of your favorites?
Hey Shelley!!I love Lora’s SEALS!! Dangerous games is actually the second book…the heroine’s brother and the hero’s sister from “DG” are the couple in first one…the “Honk If You Love Real Men” anthology(called Reno’s Chance)…but you don’t have to read them in order..I read Dangerous games first too!!They’re all great books!!Have fun reading!!

by cathy M October 27th, 2007 at 7:39 pmAh, I vaguely remember reading about the first story being in an anthology now you’ve mentioned it. I was a late comer to Lora’s books but I snap them up as soon as they come out these days.
Cathy - I’ve just read my first Tara Janzen book and loved it. Crazy Hot is the one I read. I must hunt down some others.
Cullen’s Bride is the first of Fiona’s SAS books. She had about five or six out with SIM but now writes rom suspense for Mira. If you enjoyed the others on my list you’ll like this one.
by Shelley Munro October 27th, 2007 at 10:17 pmOh! Suz Brockmann’s SEALs and Gennita Low’s GEM commandos. YUM!!
