BOOK DESCRIPTION:
If There’s One Thing He Hates, It’s a Secret…
Coming home after a rough deployment, Captain Dwayne Robertson wants some stability in his life, and finds it in the friendship he’s forged with Veronica Gibson while he was away. But her past is a well-guarded mystery, and Dwayne doesn’t know if he can deal with a woman who has something to hide…
And She’s Filled with Them…
Veronica Gibson doesn’t want anyone to know about her bizarre upbringing. She’s finally escaped her missionary parents and would be enjoying her independence if she didn’t feel so insecure about fitting in. She can easily envision a glorious future with Dwayne—but can she build a new life on a web of lies?
REVIEW:
I loved The Officer and the Secret! It is the third book of the Semper Fi Series, but can be read as a stand alone. I really want to read the first two books in the series now so I can read how the other couples got together though. I loved Dwayne even though I wanted to smack him at times. He is a sexy marine home from deployment and suffering from PTSD. Veronica has been sheltered her whole life and is just coming out of shell. They have great chemistry together and Veronica really seems to be the person to help Dwayne with his PTSD. Their story is a steamy romance that held my interest from beginning to end and had me laughing and smiling. The Officer and the Secret has a great plot and characters! This is the first book I have read by Jeannette Murray and will not be the last. I recommend this book for romance lovers that love a military hero!

I’ve really enjoyed this series, and “The Officer and the Secret,” is a great way to wrap up the series. Jeannette does a great job of pairing her sexy Marine men with the right woman. Great Summer read!
I need to go back and read the first two. I read this one without knowing it was the third book. It was fine to read as a stand alone, but now I’m interested in how the others got together:)
My favorite couple are Skye and Tim from “Officer Says ‘I Do'” – one of the best “opposites attract…now what?” stories. Madison from “Officer Breaks the Rules,” is my kind of girl – smart, sassy, knows who she wants, and get him!
🙂 thanks! Makes me want to read them more. There are so many great books out right now! I’ve been in a reading bubble the last couple days:)
I know the feeling! 🙂 #booknerdgirlproblems LOL
Lol exactly 😉
