This is a new feature I want to try to do on a more consistent basis, I have actually received such great feedback for this weekly post, so I will be doing this weekly. I am so excited as I always have such great recommendations as I read all over the genre and my hope is that I can share recs that are for all the sub genres if I can! The “Recommend It” feature, is where I will recommend romances based on a certain theme, trope or character type. If you have a trope or theme or character type you want me to put at the top of my list, I have a form that I have created that will just automatically upload into my spreadsheet and I will put it at the top of my list! I feel like as book bloggers, reviewers, readers, we all have great lists to share and this is what I hope I can do for any that want to expand their horizons in the romance genre. I am also changing how I do this a bit. I was putting some of these in Trope Tuesday for my Instagram post, but figured those who support my blog should get the recommendations FIRST! You are my team. So I will be doing this post before Trope Tuesday so that you lovelies can get these first!
So today the topic/theme/character type I am focusing on is: Military Character Type This is in preparedeness of Memorial Day that is coming out shortly at the end of this month. I read a ton of military romance, so if these aren’t enough feel free to check out the database of recs on this site or my goodreads shelves!! These are just some of my top recommendations of this character type.
Top Picks
I absolutely LOVE this book. This has a lot of suspense and intensity in the plot and is guaranteed to keep you on a crazy wild ride. Its so addictive and compelling and my favorite from this author as well.
This has such a strong military feel to the story. I just loved the way that this author wrote this family and their connection and sacrifice to the country. I just loved it. Very patriotic feel to it at times.
This is such a delicious book and this author writes some of the best military romance for you to all enjoy!
Absolutely loved the military feel to this one. We have a dystopian setting but there is still such a strong military dedication feel to the character that was so well played out.
This series features a group of black ops team that also were experimented on and have supernatural abilities. Super fascinating and cool to read.
This is true military romance. This is where we see what families go through when they have to experience their military men gone for months at a time. I absolutely adored it. Highly recommend this author so much. Really showcases the sacrifices the wives and families make.
This was such a great series. There is a sense of friendship, of loyalty to country, and a determination to bring down enemies of the state while also being on the run. Its so amazing! Highly recommend
This is a historical while not set in the states, does feature a soldier and Elizabeth Hoyt really handles it so very well!!!
This is where we see the focus being on veterans and learning to heal from war and being a soldier. Loved the focus of PTSD aspects that was so well written.
In this, one of our gentlemen, is serving in the military and specifically is a Navy SEAL. Absolutely adored seeing the aspects of what this takes and his dedication to home and country.
If you love military anything and suspense, then this author is a must read. He really focuses on writing stories of characters that work in all forms of the military and just the splice of life feel to it and the sacrifices that they make.
If you love PNR romance, then this is a must read. This author is so addicting but at the same time her characters involved are normally involved in the different forms of military while also trying to defeat an enemy seeking to destroy the country from within.
I really like Rebecca Zanetti even though I don’t read a lot of military type books, I do like hers.
I loved the Cleeton series, and the Hard Ink series was enjoyable too. I feel like many of the romances I read featuring military people are once they are no longer on active duty and they usually have PTSD (which is realistic). The Beautiful Hearts duet by Emma Scott was good.
You’ve just reminded me that I need to get back to the Scorpius Syndrome series at some point.
Thanks again for sharing these recs!! 🖤
I loved that Cleeton series! So good! I wasn’t a big fan of that Blake/Black book myself.
I have a soft spot for military romances since my husband served for 20 years. But that also means I tend to pick them apart and roll my eyes when they get something totally wrong. lol Many times I have thought, oh come on, that would never happen! 🙂 Usually I’m willing to just go with it, though, for the sake of the story. I have so much admiration for the military men and women and I love reading stories that highlight their experiences.
P.S. For some reason I never get notified if/when you reply to my comments here, so if you ask a question or start a conversation, unfortunately I never see it. 🙁
