Lindsay McKenna | A new series begins...Operation Shadow Warriors
February 2, 2013
I'm thrilled to announce that I've created a new series called Operation Shadow
Warriors. BEYOND VALOR
is the first of this new series that will encompass many books military
romances/suspense stories to come in HRS and HQN. And they will all be related
to one another so you'll get ongoing updates on the characters that you've
already read about. Operation Shadow Warriors is the brain child of U.S. Army
General Maya Stevenson. Those who have followed the Black Jaguar Squadron since
its inception, will recognize Maya from HEART OF STONE from the
1990's era when I created the BJS series. Maya has created Shadow Warriors.
She knows certain types of women can handle combat just as well as any man.
She's created this seven-year top secret operation and has garnered forty
volunteer women from all the military branches who want to work in combat
situations. It is designed to show how woman deal with combat. And from this
experiment, all the military branches will either allow or disallow women into
combat slots. These forty women have undergone a grueling one year of training
with the Marine Corps to be ready for field duty. In BEYOND VALOR, you
are going to meet U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman 2 Megan Trayhern, one of those
women volunteers. She is the daughter of Noah and Kit Trayhern. Those who love
the Morgan's Mercenaries will recognize Noah as the younger brother of Morgan.
And I did promise my readers that I would create books on all the Trayhern
children. Megan is a combat medic whose whole life is about service and helping
others. She has already been deployed twice to Iraq and as her story opens,
she's been deployed to Afghanistan, to a Marine Corps company near the Pakistan
border, a real hot spot. All Megan wants to do is prove women can handle the
stress of combat. She doesn't feel she's any better than a man, but wants the
choice, if she feels she's physically qualified to do it, to help save lives on
the battlefield. The Commanding Officer of the Marine company sees things
differently and refuses to allow her into combat. Instead, he orders HM2 Luke
Collier, also a combat medic, to take care of her and keep her out of combat
situations. The captain refuses to have a woman killed on his watch and is
worried the repercussions to his own career would be destroyed if Megan ends up
dead due to combat. The last thing Luke is prepared for is a woman in a Marine Corps combat company.
Nor is Megan or he prepared for the powerful attraction they have for one
another. This is their story. Enjoy. You can always get a hold of me at http://www.lindsaymckenna.com. For more updates on
Operation Shadow Warriors and the books to come, drop over and check it out. I
love to hear from my readers!

I love military romances and can't wait to read this book! I don't have any favorite books while they are IN the military but I love Suzanne Brockmann's "Troubleshooters" books.

i enjoy all books of these types. always a good read!!
(Lisa Fitzgibbons 6:30am February 2, 2013)
I read a good military romance recently, about a soldier in Afghanistan and a journalist who has been reading his blog. This was called A Prince Among Men. The best part of it was the setting and spartan conditions of the army base. Not much point reading about soldiers who have a cushy lifestyle!
(Clare O'Beara 9:40am February 2, 2013)
I really enjoy action adventure and romance all rolled into
one. Thanks for the chance to win.
(Mary Hay 10:13am February 2, 2013)
My favorite military romances are by M. L. Buchman. He's got a
great series based on Night Stalkers.
(Susan S 11:18am February 2, 2013)
I think my favorite military romances are the KGI series by
Maya Banks. Lots of fun!
(Rebecca Whitehead-Schwarz 11:37am February 2, 2013)
I love the KGI Series also and Cindy Gerard's too. Military
romances are great.
(Nicki Bland 11:47am February 2, 2013)
Oh I have enjoyed military romances with characters from different branches... some authors have wonderful series that I have and continue to enjoy.
(Colleen Conklin 12:26pm February 2, 2013)
I love military romances and I have honestly never read one
that I didn't enjoy. As they say, there's something about a
man in uniform. :-)
(Lisa White 12:36pm February 2, 2013)

(Kent Cook 2:15pm February 2, 2013)

(Ann Unger 6:34pm February 2, 2013)
I don't have a favorite thought I do enjoy reading military
romance.
(G. Bisbjerg 7:59pm February 2, 2013)
I have read all your military stories and the Trayhen family. I can't wait to read this book. I don't have a favorite, its the one that I'm reading at the time. I love to read about combat with alittle mix of romance!
(Carole Fiore 8:19pm February 2, 2013)
I love military romances and yours and Catherine Mann's have always been some of my favorites. I had a big collection of almost all your books but unfortunately lost them all when I lost my home in the big tornado that hit my hometown in 2011. So I've been reading you for a lot of years and love the Trayherns. I can't wait to read about the extended family.
(Linda Henderson 8:23pm February 2, 2013)
I love military romances being married to a Marine Veteran who
is my hero and High school sweetheart... I love Marliss Melton
she writes a great military romance... I also love love Ranae
Rose's Battered Not Broken... There are many others but those
are my current favorites.
(Jeannie Platt 8:35pm February 2, 2013)
Your books sound like they're going to have pretty powerful stories behind them, and I can't wait to get my hands on them!!! They're also in lockstep with today's headlines. Who would have thought that women would have been given approval to fight in combat situations?? Whether you approve or not is not the purpose of my posting, but I know that you wrote the book long before this ruling came down, so you were ahead of the curve!! It's going to be interestin to read how you perceived the situation, and put a little time for romance in the book as well, which it sounds to me you hinted at. My hat goes off to all the men and women in the military. I could never do their job, and I know they have a hard one to hoe. As long as they know their country is behind them, regardless of what else they might read, is all they need to know!! Thank you for keeping their stories alive!!
(Peggy Roberson 9:41pm February 2, 2013)
I do not have a favorite military romance but would like to. So enter me to win this and I can review it and find me one.
(Jane Squires 11:16pm February 2, 2013)
This sounds like a new twist on romance. I have never read a military romance before but it sounds great.
(Kathleen Yohanna 11:43pm February 2, 2013)
The last book I read in military romance is His Woman in Command. After reading this book, I got hook to the Black Jaguar Squadron series.
(Kai Wong 12:03pm February 3, 2013)
Being a military brat myself, I simply LOVE books that involve military men. A man in uniform makes a woman's heart beat faster to start with, so I love having military men (and women) as the heroes and heroines of love stories. There aren't enough writers of contemporary romance using military people or situations in their stories. Personally, I'd love to read a couple paranormal or time-travel stories involving military settings/characters... HINT, HINT! LOL
(Donna Holmberg 9:25pm February 3, 2013)
I don't have an absolute favorite, but I do love them in
general.
(Mary Preston 11:32pm February 3, 2013)
With a husband who is a military man I look forward to reading your books.
