I was raised in the Navy and always appreciated that my dad, my mom, and I were part of something bigger than our little family. My dad\u2019s job was in the boiler room of ships, so when the ships were gone, he was gone. That could amount to three-quarters of a year at a time. That meant that Mom and I had to adjust to being on our own and then readjust to having \u201cthe head of the family\u201d back home–not always an easy task. Dad had a dangerous job, grueling hours in tight quarters, and away from home. The military is serious business and vital to our country. Never more vital than in time of war, which the U.S. has been at for over twenty years now. Military personnel have served multiple and long tours of duty, often making life difficult for those left guarding the home fires.<\/p>\n
It has always irritated me that civilians doing the same jobs as military personnel are routinely paid more, but usually without the time away from home. Many military families need food stamps to subsist. How can our men and women do their best away from home when they\u2019re worried about their families at home? Because I saw the hardships placed on families when often the primary breadwinner was gone, I am choosing to donate this month to Operation Homefront<\/a>. Their mission is \u201cto build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive \u2014 not simply struggle to get by \u2014 in the communities they have worked so hard to protect.\u201d I like Operation Homefront not only for who they serve but also because 92% of their expenditures go directly toward delivering their services to military families.<\/p>\n Blurb: Buy link: “I was hoping you’d come,” he said.<\/p>\n “You were pretty obvious,” she said dryly.<\/p>\n “I knew you were smart enough to catch the hint. I just didn’t know if you’d follow it.”<\/p>\n How could she not? The moment she noticed him she’d remembered the feel of his being deep inside her. But that didn’t change a damn thing. They shouldn’t be here, not together.<\/p>\n She held her head high and tried to look down her nose at him\u2014nearly impossible since he was taller than she, but she had perfected the attitude long before meeting Todd Baxter. Senior Chief<\/em> Todd Baxter. “I wanted to walk the beach while I was here, that’s all.” Todd grinned and Carie melted inside.<\/p>\n “Lucky for me, I wanted to walk the beach, too,” he said. “Quite a coincidence, huh?”<\/p>\n She snorted in disbelief and slipped off her sandals. Brushing by him, she was glad he didn’t try to kiss her or hold her. But then she frowned. Why didn’t he try to kiss her? She’d wanted to jump his bones right there in that Norfolk hallway. They had to maintain propriety then, but here, no one would see them. What held him back? She knew an unfamiliar sense of self-doubt. Had she mistaken his feelings before?<\/p>\n Nonsense. Carie knew what they’d had was more than mere lust. It had been lust of stupendous proportions, far beyond a few days of burning out. Then what held him back? Knowing the military regulations preventing officers and enlisted personnel from having a relationship, you idiot.<\/em><\/p>\n Damn. She finally found someone she clicked with, and he had to be an enlisted man in the Navy.<\/p>\n After a while, Dee split her personality into thirds. She writes as Anne Krist for sweeter romances, and Jenna Stewart for m\u00e9nage and shifter stories. All three of her personas are found on the Nomad Authors website. And all three offer some of the best romance you can find!

<\/a>I wrote Naval Maneuvers<\/em><\/strong> as a kind of homage to Navy men and women, and in the book I talk about the difficulties placed on families with members in the service. Thanks to all those who serve their country and to those who serve their service member!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Men and women of the armed forces experience lust and love pretty much like everyone else. Except, well, there is that uniform. And the hard-to-resist attraction of “duty, honor, service” as a man might apply them to a woman’s pleasure. All things considered, romance among the military is a pretty sexy, compelling force for which you’d better be armed, whether weighing anchor and moving forward into desire, dropping anchor and staying put for passion, or in anchor home, setting a course for renewed love. Explore the world of love and the military and see just how hot Naval Maneuvers can be.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Excerpt:
\n<\/strong>Carie made her way around the side of the building and nearly ran into Todd, who lounged against the weathered wood siding. He looked better than good in a pale blue polo shirt and jeans. Top-Sider boat shoes with no socks gave him that naturally casual look that no model could successfully carry out.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Lovers1.jpg?resize=550%2C500&ssl=1\")
<\/a>Meet Dee\/Anne\/Jenna:
\n<\/strong>A few years ago, Dee S. Knight began writing, making getting up in the morning fun. During the day, her characters killed people, fell in love, became drunk with power, or sober with responsibility. And they had sex, lots of sex.<\/p>\n
