There are so many fantastic authors that write romances with a military theme. Catherine Mann is a new sensation with her "WINGMEN WARRIORS"...I highly recommend her books! And let's not forget our already established authors that are well known in the world of military romance such as Suzanne Brockmann and Lindsay McKenna. To all our authors, keep writing those great books and may God bless you!! I love military romance and with the war going on this page is even more special to me. As an avid romance reader and a proud American, this page is from my heart! I hope each author and reader that visits will be touched. As I searched the Net for graphics to create this page I was moved by the patriotic pride I found online from my fellow Americans. We truly live in a wonderful country!!

U.S. Marine Nathaniel Dole is injured in action and comes back to his small hometown of Mercy for an extended leave from the service. Before long he is "recruited" as an aide to help out in Jenny Wright's third grade classroom. Nate had never forgotten his high school sweetheart and longs for them to be together again but Jenny has not forgotten the way he had hurt her nine years ago by leaving her and devoting his life to the military instead of her.
Jenny's unconventional teaching methods has the school board breathing down her neck and brings Nate back into her life but she knows it will not be for long. She believes Nate will be gone as soon as he recovers from his knee injury. Nate knows differently and wants her back...this time for keeps.
It's hard to believe this is the first Shirley Jump book I've read and I can honestly say it will definitely not be the last. The Marine's Kiss is a wonderful romantic story with strong main characters that a reader can easily relate to with mishaps and antics from a room full of nine year olds that are as humorous as real life can truly be. What a great read...with a home-is-where-the-heart-is feel that has to touch a true romantic at heart....like me!!

May God be with them and bring them home safely!
