Debbie Macomber’s “Navy” series is a collection that’ll hit right in the feels for those who love a good mix of romance and real-life military drama. Each book sails through different aspects of naval life, from the rush of new love to the complexities of raising a family solo.
We start with “Navy Wife,” where you’ll meet Lindy Kyle and Rush Callaghan, whose love story is as passionate as it is tested by naval duties. Then there’s “Navy Blues,” where Carol Kyle devises a plan to entice her ex back into her life with a hope for more than just a rekindled romance.
Don’t miss “Navy Brat,” which throws Erin MacNamera’s no-navy-men rule overboard the moment she meets Lieutenant Brandon Davis. And “Navy Woman”? It’ll have you rooting for Catherine Fredrickson as she navigates the choppy waters of her boss’s cold exterior.
“Navy Baby” brings together Hannah Raymond and Riley Murdock in a chance encounter that changes their lives forever. And wrapping it up with “Navy Husband,” you’ll adore Shana Berrie as she takes on the world with her niece and the all-too-appealing Adam Kennedy circling around.
