Dawn’s Gray Light is book three in the Smoky Mountain Mist series.
Had Dawn Ratliffe known the hot August morning would begin with such a bang she would have called in sick.
The high school English Literature teacher has family and friends whose lives often border on the intriguing and exciting. Her own life leans more towards the mundane and she prefers it that way.
Mark Randolph initiates a change in her perspective when he bursts into her life, in the literal sense, on the first day of the new school year at Beaumont High. Dawn views the marine as a chance-taker while she prefers to know the outcome before diving into any situation.
After years of avoiding romantic relationships, will she allow Mark to touch her heart? Or will giving her love to a soldier a second time bring recurring nightmares for the single mom; one who feels the needs of her seventeen-year-old daughter should come before a love life.
United States Marine Mark Randolph has been waiting a lifetime to meet the special woman God created just for him. When he encounters Dawn during a local military exercise, his heart tells him he has found his forever mate in this brave Amazon. He soon learns that convincing Dawn she should love him back will be the most difficult mission of his life.
From the foothills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains, to the volatile streets of Yemen and back, Dawn wrestles with her feelings for Mark while he battles to convince her of his love; and that he is the man God intends for her, today and always.

I don't normally read romance, but this book was on the Kindle Owner's Lending Library list and was recommended by a friend. So - I had nothing to lose. I thought I would give it a shot. This is a romance novel, but it's not a typical "Harlequin" kind of book. Romance is at the core, but the story is all about the characters. The lead protagonist, Dawn, is complex and has a believable backstory. She's strong, but not absurdly so. She falls in love, but she's not ridiculously fawning over chiseled jawlines and bulging biceps. She's a good person, but she's not perfect. She's very much human. I actually enjoyed this story, even though I had my doubts going in. It's a solid piece of work. There's a lot here for the general fiction reader, not just someone looking for light, cookie-cutter romance. Add the fact that the story is set in the area where I live and the read is all the more enjoyable. Note to parents : Unlike most books in this genre, Dawn's Gray Light is refreshingly free from even the mildest profanity. There are no explicit adult-oriented scenes and a Christian theme runs through the entire story - although it's not at all forced or preachy. This book would be suitable for pretty much all age groups.

Very exciting and very well written. This is probably the best of the trilogy. Characters very well drawn and very realistic.
