Craving a Hero: A Military Romance Collection
Are you craving a hero?
Allie certainly is... as she finds herself falling for the hot Navy SEAL who wants to adopt her beloved rescue dog. Then there's Annie who's hiding secrets from her Army Ranger boss in Hawaii... Freya who discovered she is head over heels for her SEAL best friend... and single mom Ava who is lusting over the SEAL next door.
Craving a Hero is a steamy military romance anthology with four happily-ever-afters and all the friends-to-lovers, small town, billionaire, grumpy/sunshine feels...
...along with four heroes who have honor, brains, and eight-packs.

MORE, PLEASE
I know exactly what I want. And it has nothing to do with the hot Navy SEAL I picked up in a bar.
Really... it doesn't.
Even though the pressure of his lips on mine fires me like a hot kiln, and the feel of his ripped chest beneath my hungry fingertips...
Wait... I'm digressing.
Since graduating from college, I've been juggling two jobs while fostering abandoned dogs, with my sights set on opening a rescue kennel. I'll do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means fighting back my cravings for the man who's been fueling my fantasies since I got my first taste of him in a hotel elevator.
But when he slips his way back into my life, all I can do is remember that night in the elevator...
...and ask for more, please.
A IS FOR ALPHA
Who put the “O” in Aloha?
Yeah, that’s me. Camden Sheridan. A guy who will bring you to “O” faster than you can text it.
Former Army Ranger with the standard issue 8-pack.
And now, a bartender who’ll get you safely back to your hotel after too many margaritas… and you won’t want me to leave.
Believe me, you won’t.
I live life by my rules in my bachelor pad paradise here on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Until a Ranger brother needs me to take care of his little girl while he deploys.
A four-year-old cockblock in pigtails.
My sex life comes to a screeching halt.
Then the babysitter shows up.
Annie.
Smart, principled, good with kids. All the things I don’t look for in a woman.
I want her anyway.
Annie’s got a fortress of secrets surrounding her. But I’ll break it down and claim her as mine.
If this kid will just take a nap.
BFF'ED
Mason Adler...
Hot. Cocky. Sugar-coated Bad Boy.
The type of man who knocks the big “O” clear to the front of the alphabet every time.
Wrap up that eight-pack with Navy khakis and top it off with a shiny SEAL Trident, the kind that makes the girls swoon.
That’s Mason. My best friend.
For me, he’s off limits. Now that I've finished college, I need to focus on my writing career. And without his help, I don’t stand a chance.
But I need something from him. Something only he can give me.
So I’ll pull the blinds. I’ll call it “research.” And I won’t let my heart get involved, especially with him leaving at the end of the week.
Leaving me… even though my very soul is still in his grasp.

I enjoyed those stories. The first one begged me to read a couple more in that series. The second one was good too once I got into it, but I needed to take a break and read some bad boy before I could get back into all these good boy stories. The third was funny and the last one ended them all just nicely. Now I need some more bad boy dirty books 😂
