He's My Soldier Boy

Mavericks #4

by Lisa Jackson

Dark, sexy and dangerous, young Ben Powell had stolen kisses as deep and stormy as Whitefire Lake. But then he'd cruelly accused Carlie Surrett of unthinkable sins - and left her in the dust of her shattered dreams.

Now, steelier than ever after his stint in the army, Ben was back - making Carlie curse the love that had all but destroyed her...and the volcanic passion that still seared her soul.

About the author

Lisa Jackson is the number-one New York Times bestselling author of over ninety-five novels, including the Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya Series, the Pescoli and Alvarez Series, the Savannah series, and numerous stand alone novels. She also is the co-author of One Last Breath, Last Girl Standing, and the Colony Series, written with her sister and bestselling author Nancy Bush, as well as the collaborative novels Sinister and Ominous, written with Nancy Bush and Rosalind Noonan. There are over thirty million copies of her novels in print and her writing has been translated into twenty languages.

Before she became a nationally bestselling author, she was a mother struggling to keep food on the table by writing novels, hoping against hope that someone would pay her for them. Today, neck deep in murder, her books appear on The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly national bestseller lists.

With dozens of bestsellers to her name, Lisa Jackson is a master of taking readers to the edge of sanity—and back—in novels that buzz with dangerous secrets and deadly passions. She continues to be fascinated by the minds and motives of both her killers and their pursuers—the personal, the professional, and the downright twisted. As she builds the puzzle of relationships, actions, clues, lies, and personal histories that haunt her protagonists, she must also confront the fear and terror faced by her victims and the harsh and enduring truth that, in the real world, terror and madness touch far too many lives and families.

Not my favorite but it was still good.
On one faithful night Carlie Surret and Ben Powell spent a few hours together that now 10 years later Ben is freshly out of the army and Carlie back from Alaska and are back in their home town for Ben's sisters wedding. Ben still holds the past against Carlie. Can they work through all their problems......

The male MC is a jerk. I had to make myself finish this one. I feel like the author felt the same way.

[Cenna Lipscomb · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Hero in this story was a jerk, who's displaced anger at the heroine was a lil over the top, and carried on for 12 years. I really didn't care for him at all found him to be too self serving. In my opinion the heroine wasted too much time on trying to build trust and a relationship with him. I also felt the ending was rushed, yeah he went back and read the letters and confronted Tracy. This story was not one that I enjoyed that much.

Listened to the audio book. It was pretty predictable but what made it tough for me was I didn't like the male lead and found myself rooting against him.

Quite good for a Harlequin. Lisa Jackson always entertaining.
