I’ve recently decided to not be so closed minded about my reading habits, and have started reading books in new genres, or at least sub-genres of what I usually read.
In this case, I decided to give a military romance a try. As I mention in my Goodreads review, the few I have tried to read before have had heroes that are truly suffering at home and trying to find their way in a changed world with the help of the woman who pieces them back together. I found those to be okay, but formulaic.
Going Rogue struck me as different. Yes, the hero is damaged due to losing his unit in Afghanistan, but he goes back as a favor to one of the member’s father. So, he returns because of his sense of duty to his fallen mate.
You can get the whole synopsis from other blurbs.
I liked the way the tension between Grant and Lilly grew and morphed. I liked how the action made me feel like I was watching an episode of “The Unit” or scenes from a good military movie. I always like when I can read a story and picture actors playing the parts. That’s a fun part of reading that doesn’t happen in every book.
All in all, I really liked the book in general. AND, it’s the first in a series; I could get used to reading about Grant and his cohorts going on covert missions…and getting the girl!
Thanks for your great review, and I’m glad you decided to take a chance on Grant and Lilly. 🙂
