    About this audiobook

    The man who could be general.

    Jesse Johnson is a man everyone assumes will be a general. Everyone, that is, but Jesse himself. He isn’t sure if he wants to give that much to the military. His father has spent most of his life surviving a lonely existence with only his work for comfort. Jesse doesn’t want that—he wants it all. The woman who tempts him to misbehave. The last year has been bad for Zoe Jones. Her boyfriend was killed by some nasty guys who then put her in the hospital. She’s come to Virginia to heal not to fall for some by the book, drop dead gorgeous Marine with a chip on his shoulder. But one little encounter leads to a kiss and that kiss leads to all kinds of interesting entanglements. She knows it won’t last because he has big plans, but she can’t help but falling a little in love with him. A Marine on a mission. Jesse knows Zoe thinks they’re just having a bit of fun, but he has other plans. Forever kind of plans. He’s one man who knows how to organize a full on assault to get the woman he loves—and nothing will stop him.

    Editor's Note

    USA Today Bestselling Author...

    The second book in Schroeder’s “Semper Fi Marines” series packs a lot into its relatively short length. The marine hero is on course to become a general, but he chooses not to — he wants a complete, well-rounded life, and that doesn’t mean giving everything up for the job. The heroine wants something short-term to heal from a past tragedy, and she doesn’t expect anything more. But the hero has other ideas. Schroeder’s sexy, fast-paced writing ensures this quick read will be memorable after you’ve finished.

    Melissa Schroeder

    From an early age, USA Today Bestselling author Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book. Since her first published book, Grace Under Pressure, Mel has had over 60 short stories, novellas, and novels published. She has written in genres ranging from historical to contemporary to futuristic and has worked with 8 publishers although she handles most of her publishing herself. She is best known for her Harmless and Santini series. After years of following her military husband around the country and world, Mel happily lives with her family in horse and wine country in Northern Virginia.

      Enjoyed the story. Would have been 5 stars if it had a few hot AF scenes instead of one medium sizzling one.

      Story it’s self is fast moving, no angst, interesting characters. Wasn’t crazy about narration- it was very straight forward, almost monotoned, no real emotion to the reading.
      Quick, easy listen, wish there would have had an epilogue but as there’s more to series hopefully they’ll be future updates.
