US Marine Zachariah has a blazing hot affair with Becky before he ships out on a long tour. However, he finds that he doesn't want the affair to end, so they secretly marry just before he leaves. Eighteen months later, he's home, nursing war wounds and getting to know his wife. Things in the bedroom are great, but outside, Julie's life is being threatened and Zach finds he has a new mission to undertake.
At Your Command was an OK book. Nothing about it screams out to me that I need to read it again or even highly recommend it to other readers. There's a decent plot, some steamy sex scenes and likable characters. It was just missing that extra something to make it special.

Years later, Justin is a Navy SEAL and Ava is an Assistant District Attorney. Ava’s current case has put her life in danger and her brother has called in a favor with Justin to protect Ava’s life. As they are on the run, emotions are running high and finally all those fantasies have a chance to become reality.
This is the third book in Stephanie Tyler’s SEAL series, and it’s lived up to and perhaps exceeded its predecessors. In this book, we finally get some action (outside of the bedroom) that I’d expected when seeing that the hero is a SEAL. I enjoyed the characters and the plot. In fact, I especially liked the secondary characters of Ava’s brother and her friend, who end up getting together in the story. I only wished their story could have been explored a little further.

Will she be able to take a leap of faith?
"A Soldier’s Family" is an inspirational tale that can get a little preachy at times. Both characters seem to be a little extreme. I kept wishing they were not so intense. On the other hand, it was refreshing to read a story with Latin-American characters and both were slightly older than your typical romance hero and heroine.
