Way of the Warrior Homecoming Tour
Below are messages from each of the authors – Suzanne Brockmann, Julie Ann Walker, Catherine Mann, and the other contributors who each wrote a message to readers about what their military heroes look forward to the most when they return home after deployment.
Suzanne Brockmann on “Home Fire Inferno”
I write about a SEAL team, so my military heroes tend to show up in a rather large group! And although Home Fire Inferno focuses on Navy SEAL Dan Gillman (whose wife, Jenn, is about to have a baby!), you’ll also see quite a bit of Izzy Zanella, along with Mark Jenkins, Jay Lopez, and the inimitable Senior Chief Stan Wolchonok. Readers will also get to meet the SEAL with the face of a serial killer and the intriguing nickname HoboMofo . . . who happens to live with his mother and his ten-year-old daughter. But all the SEALs in this story would be in full agreement that family is the one word answer to the question “What is your military hero/ine most excited about returning to after active duty?”
Honoring love and family is a long-held tradition in the U.S. Navy. A ritual called the First Kiss is still practiced for ships returning to their homeports. (Google “US Navy first kiss tradition” to see pictures that will brighten your day!) All married sailors, officer and enlisted alike, can take part in a lottery in which the winner is the first to disembark, greet, and kiss his or her spouse after many months away from home. It’s a huge deal, with boatloads of ceremony involved. This is the big, bad U.S. Navy, part of the most powerful military force in the world. But everyone—from admirals to seamen recruits—unabashedly recognize that the most important part of their homecoming lies in the arms of the men and women waiting for them.

Julie Ann Walker on “Hot As Hell”
Despite running missions to the ass ends of the earth, Navy SEAL Michael “Mad Dog” Wainwright from Hot as Hell is a family man at heart. Born and raised in Atlantic City, he longs for the sea when he’s conducting sorties in the desert. Hankers for the boardwalk when he’s belly deep in some bog in the jungle. And craves a slice of Tony Bologney’s pizza when he’d eaten one-too-many MREs – meals ready to eat – to count. So when Michael gets time off from missiles and mayhem, you can bet your bottom dollar he races home to be with his two brothers and his mother and father. Together, they make a night of pizza, walks along the boardwalk, salt water taffy, and some tossing of the dice at one of Atlantic City’s seaside casinos. It’s a bit of normalcy in a life that’s otherwise filled by the extraordinary. A bit of fun in a world Michael knows can be full of horror and woe. A bit of life to go along with so much death. Michael “Mad Dog” Wainwright lives for those moments, for those homecomings. They’re what he fights for…

Catherine Mann on “In Plain Sight”
Tech Sergeant Gavin “Bubbles” Novak isn’t known for a sparkling wit, but his steely eyed focus on the job has made him the go-to guy in the most stressful of pararescue missions. Until a fateful military mission leaves him blind and ends his Air Force career. With nowhere else to go, he returns to his small Kentucky hometown with his seeing-eye dog and takes a job as a 9-1-1 operator. His first day on the job brings a voice from the past, the only woman who has ever blasted through that tough shell to reach his soul – his high school sweetheart Stacie Curry. She’s being stalked by her abusive ex-husband and he’s broken into her home.
Stacie Curry thought she made the safe choice in marrying the hometown boy rather than leaving with brooding outsider Gavin. But her decision has led to a nightmare existence. Since her divorce, she is stalked and terrorized by her ex. When she calls 9-1-1, she’s stunned to hear Gavin’s deep voice on the other end of the line. And when she sees him face to face afterward, she’s shocked – and heartbroken – to learn he’s blind. But she soon finds Gavin will let nothing stand in the way of protecting her.
Learning to overcome the loss of his sight and his Air Force career, Gavin comes to her rescue, protecting her, helping expose her ex … and rekindling their old romance with a blazing-hot flame.

Tina Wainscott on “Beauty and the Marine”
Once the gorgeous golden boy of his small Georgia town, Marine Griff Tate returned home scarred from an explosion in Afghanistan. Now, the only people he sees are his family and the out-of-towners he takes hunting and fishing on their private acreage. Griff thinks that all he wants is to be with his family in the comfort of the woods in which he spent his youth. He can barely look at himself in the mirror—how can he expect a woman to want to wake up to his ugly mug every morning? But even a battle-scarred veteran needs love … even if he doesn’t know it!

Anne Elizabeth on “SEALed with Passion”
Navy SEAL LT Cmdr Jonah Melo has his feet back on American soil. That’s when the itchy-need begins–to get back into the action and/or to fill his time with something useful. Luckily, he’s got an opportunity to jump in and do a building project for the Wounded Warriors. This particular house is special because it’s going to be the home of his long-time friend Kevin Toms. Melo has participated in a lot of builds before, but seeing his buddy in a home that enables his happiness and mobility is going to top the list of experiences. If only he could be as blessed in love as he is in friendship.

M.L. Buchman on “NSDQ”
U.S. Army Captain Lois Lang knows only one thing, flying combat search-and-rescue helicopters into the heart of the battlezone and getting her people back out. And when a CSAR mission gone wrong forces her to make the ultimate sacrifice—for her it isn’t a choice. Her crew and the wounded they’ve recovered always come first.
But the battle that awaits her will test her limits. She can learn to walk again, but she must discover the strength to face what to do when she can’t fly.

Kate SeRine on “Torn”
During his deployment, the thing that kept Joe Dawson going was the thought of returning home to Sadie—his best friend since childhood and the woman he’s been in love with for as long as he can remember. But a mission gone wrong has left him scarred—both inside and out. And when he and Sadie finally share an unexpected moment of passion, Joe has a hard time believing that Sadie could have feelings for the damaged man he has become and worries that her heart is being ruled by pity and not love.
Those doubts are compounded now that he’s set to resume his duty as a deputy sheriff. With his father and three brothers already making names for themselves with successful law enforcement careers, the pressure’s on, leaving Joe torn between honoring the family tradition and leaving behind the only career he’s ever known outside the military.

Lea Griffith on her inspiration for “War Games”
There are many things I could tell you about my stepfather. He married a wonderful woman with a tiny, 6 year old girl from a previous marriage who still wondered why her daddy couldn’t be a daddy—and then he became a stepfather and helped raise her. A strict disciplinarian he nevertheless was giving to a fault. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War. (Side note: he refused to call it a “conflict”. He always said, “When people kill people like we killed people that’s a goddamn war.” Finally, I guess I’d tell you he was one of the most tortured souls I have ever known. In the midst of his torment, the nightmares and flashbacks, the anger that always simmered just below the surface there was a strength to be admired and it is that strength that makes him one of my heroes.
My stepdad was born and raised in a little town called Tennille, Georgia. It’s nothing but country with field after field of corn and cotton and country folk living a simple life. When young men came of age they either went into the family business of cotton and corn or they went into the service and this is the route William Thomas Howell, Jr. took. He entered the Air Force and lost any innocence he might have once had running tactical rescue and recovery missions in Vietnam of which he would say nothing about. I remember asking him what war was like and he refused to answer. Then one day when he was talking about Vietnam—not the war, mind you, but the country itself—I asked him what he missed the most about home when he was “in country”. He smiled and for some reason my gut clenched and I remember wishing I hadn’t asked the question. But then he answered and I had to smile with him. “Lightning bugs,” he said. “Lightning bugs and Coca Cola.”
My stepdad passed away almost nine years ago. He has missed the births of several of his grandchildren and the marriage of one of his children. But in the midst of his loss, he left a legacy that includes perseverance, giving and most of all a love of Coca Cola.
Oh, and the lightning bugs. I cannot forget the tiny bugs with the “lights in their butts”. It seems the smallest bug made a light big enough for my stepdad to yearn for. They make me smile every time spring comes. And yes, because he made me smile with his longing for lightning bugs I taught my girls how to catch them and put them in a mason jar for a little while before you release them. This more than anything else has helped me remember him.

Taming the Legend (London Legends Book 4) by Kat Latham is a journey of self reflection, discovery, growth and another sexy footballer. Life is short, do what you love and most of all – be honest to those you love.
When Ash Trenton retires from ruby he’s unsure of what his future has in store for him. Everything he’s ever wanted he’s either been given or received, except one. When Camila Morales slams back into his life, he wonders just exactly what he left behind on that Barcelona beach all those years ago. Why is she back now?
In order to convince him to help her in her request, he’s going to have to tell her exactly why he stayed away. Camila has tried to leave the past alone but unfortunately she needs Ash’s help. Camila assumes he wants nothing to do with her so she’s hesitant to approach him, fearful he won’t listen to her plea.
After all these years can they ignore those repressed feelings? Mila takes a risk and hopes that the truth won’t need to be revealed. Can they both finally discover what it is that they’ve been missing and move forward with what they want?
When they discover they were intentionally kept apart, both have a rough time trying to figure out why anyone would do that. Can they still trust each other? This story is filled with secrets, first loves and determination to succeed. I absolutely love this series because it mixes heartfelt issues and superb writing with a twist. It’s that twist that I love in each and every London Legend series book.
I received this ARC from the author for a fair and honest review. If you don’t think you can read this book because you are unfamiliar with the lingo, don’t worry you won’t be lost. Kat provides a simple explanation before the story if you need a quick reference.
As I’ve said throughout this London Legend Blitz, this is a rugby romance filled with H-O-T rugby men and a superb story. This one especially is moving and truly feeling like are right there on the pitch with them.
Fans will rejoice as this will release on May 11th. For those wondering, yes this book can be read as a stand alone. Every book in this series moves up a notch on the sizzle factor.

If you like to stock up on holiday reads and save them for the season be sure to download this must read rugby romance. At $1.40 on Amazon it’s a steal! If you just want to find out what adventure is next for the Legends you won’t be disappointed. It’s perfect whatever your reason is!
During the annual Legends player auction tension is high and competition is fierce while the men wonder who will bid on them for a date. It puts everyone’s egos on the line and everyone wonders who the big winner will be. That is, who will bring in the most money. All is well during the auction until a winning bid silences the room. Looks like Gwen Chambers has some explaining to do. Big sister Tess is as shocked as the rest of the players.
No rugby romance is complete unless someone gets injured or involved in a skirmish of some kind. For “Little” John, a sturdy and strong-willed player , this injury forces him to admit he needs help recovering. Now, all eyes are on who will step-up to do the job. After all, it’s almost Christmas. Staying in the hospital is not an option and he’s adamant that he needs to get home.
Since Gwen must beg forgiveness from her sister, will she find herself helping John? Unsure of how they both feel about each other, confessions about the past seem risky. Sometimes life doesn’t always work out the way you plan. For Gwen, she wonders if her wishes are just that, ones you only dream about. Maybe this time, her wishes will come true.
This novella is absolutely charming, fun and super smokin’ hot. Fans will rejoice that Little John finally has his own story. This little holiday treat will delight fans of the London Legends and is a perfect escape even now on a crisp spring day.

Tempting the Player (London Legends Book 3) by Kat Latham soars in this third installment of rugby romance fun. This time fullback Matt Ogden has an a chance to show the team his amazing skills. Instead he blunders out on the pitch (the playing field). Things couldn’t possibly get any worse for him until the team realizes his fear of flying. Afraid it might be the end of his career he finds comfort in his best friend, Libby. While Matt has thought of Libby in a more intimate way, he’d never risk complicating their friendship. Sex always complicates things, most of the time. Matt was burned before, he couldn’t risk a broken heart again. Could he trust another woman ever again?
Unfortunately, there’s just one little glitch. Matt and Libby are attracted to each other, but won’t admit it. Both are career driven and can’t see what’s right in front of them. It’s the one thing they desire the most. This book tackles the “should I or shouldn’t I” really well with fantastic banter, smokin’ hot encounters and memorable scenes.
Finally, Matt has a chance to move up to a starting position on the team. Now he must now take a hard look as to what has prevented him from giving it his all. Something needs to change. Can he finally focus and tackle his fears?
If only he could get over his fear of flying. If he doesn’t it just might be the end of his career. Can Libby, a trained pilot for a major airline, help him work though it? Or, will he forever be grounded on the tarmac? They come up with an arrangement that proves just how far Libby is willing to go to help her best friend.
Discover what happens when friends wonder, is it possible to be lovers without ruing the friendship? Can they survive this game of chance? I absolutely love the blend of friendship, teamwork, family and fear in this book. Not just the daily fear of the unknown, but phobias and a creative way to approach this particular one. I know plenty of people who would be interested in this method of conquering a fear.
I received this ARC from the author for a fair and honest review. If you don’t think you can read this book because you are unfamiliar with the lingo, don’t worry you won’t be lost. Kat provides a simple explanation before the story if you need a quick reference.
As I’ve said throughout this London Legend Blitz, this is full of H-O-T rugby men and fabulous writing that truly makes you feel you are right there on the pitch with them.

Knowing the Score (London Legends Book 1) by Kat Latham is a rugby romance rich in full body contact, devotion to the game and a commitment to seeing things through. The story is easy to read and has the perfect blend of humor and relationship fumbles. I fell in love with this series right away and absolutely love the book cover.
Spencer Bailey is a typical young, sexy, rugby player who’s cocky and loveable in all ways. When a devastating tragedy occurs the night before the World Cup Games, his life changes in an instant. A decade later, it still haunts him.
Work brought American Caitlyn Sweeney to London and by sheer luck she was in the right place at the right time to aid an elderly man who just happens to have a connection to Spencer.
When Spencer discovers the identity of this angel in the hospital, he can’t seem to get her out of his mind. Desperate for a short term, non committed woman, he wonders what Caitlyn would say to a “no strings attached” fling. Fearful of getting too attached it seems like the perfect option for both of them, or is it?
Will this smokin’ hot rugby stud cast aside his principles and work ethics for a pretty woman? Spencer has worked so hard to rebuild his career to let another situation jeopardize his career ever again.
There is more to Caitlyn that she’s revealed, will she finally be able to open up to Spencer about her past? Will they both find their happy-ever-after or discover their worst fears have been realized?
I received this ARC from the author for a fair and honest review. I’d been waiting to read a great Rugby story and am thrilled to get the chance to review this amazing series. If you are fearful that you won’t understand the lingo- you will. It’s the total package – great writing, fantastic characters, H-O-T rugby men and immediate gratification knowing there are four other books to read as soon as you’re finished with this one. Taming the Legend (London Legends, Book 4) is almost here – it will release May 11th so the wait won’t be too long ;).
While I don’t rate any of my books on the blog, I do however give a “Pepper review” so you know how “Spicy” and sensual the book is. I will still review it but again, keep it clean with just enough details that you’ll hopefully want to read it.
There is just enough sizzle to make you tingle, for mature audience 18+.
At a sale price of $0.99 today only – discover the book that started it all and fall in love with the London Legends.

A Desperate Fortune by Susanna Kearsley – book description from Sourcebooks Casablanca.
For nearly three hundred years, the cryptic journal of Mary Dundas has lain unread. Now, amateur code breaker Sara Thomas has been sent to Paris to crack the cipher.
Jacobite exile Mary Dundas is filled with longing—for freedom, for adventure, for the family she lost. When fate opens the door, Mary dares to set her foot on a path far more surprising and dangerous than she ever could have dreamed.
As Mary’s gripping tale is revealed, Sara is faced with challenges that will require letting go of everything she thought she knew—about herself, about loyalty, and especially about love. Though divided by centuries, these two women will be united in a quest to discover the limits of trust and the coincidences of fate.
