Publisher's summary

Ron

I'm a decorated Marine general who doesn't have time for relationships. I've tried - they just don't work out - and I've never lost sleep over it. Then I meet her. Brenna is easily the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. The first time she blushes under my stare, it's game over. She's going to need to learn that I'm in charge and trust that I always mean what I say, because I'm not letting her go.

Brenna

When Ron offers me a drink at the Sterling's wedding reception, I have no idea that he's a military star on the rise; I just know he's the walking definition of masculine - that translates in the bedroom (and couches, counters, tables...) as the best sex I've ever had. The more time we spend together, the more I'm convinced he's hiding something - or someone - and I'm not going down that road again. He can say anything he wants, but actions speak louder than words.

Contains mature themes.

Nicely Steamy!

The General's Desire is well-written and the narration is very good. If you need a break from all those dark romances, this is the book for you. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about two people in their mid-40s being sexy and experiencing new love without the excessive drama often portrayed by younger couples.

Good and Meh

The good: Interesting plot and characters. There was A LOT of miscommunication but I did enjoy the characters when they were getting to know each other and build their relationship. Also liked the MMC patience and reassurance for the MFC- if only that happened in real life ha!
Performance was well done but Harding does not narrate very much; I would have liked to listen to his voice more.

The meh: MFC presented as juvenile at times with the jumping to conclusions and the endless misunderstandings. I totally get her cause and effect behavior, but she wasn’t a strong enough female character for my taste.
There were way too many misconception scenarios. Just when a flow started …boom! problem. Once I looked at the time and still had 3 hours to go. I was like how is there more and when does this stop 😂.

Dare I say this- there was too much sex. I am not one to ever say this but for this book it was constant. There were two scene totally worth it for me but the others were run of the mill scenes. I don’t need 8 scenes of it I got it.

It’s part of the plus catalog which is why I finally listened. I listened to book last year and couldn’t get into this one. Once it got rolling I did want to know what happened.

Love Dynamic On Fire

Such a wonderful push and pull of genuine emotions. This author has a way of blending real life situations, emotions, rationales, feelings and logic in a way that produces believable story lines!!! After 40 years of being an avid reader, this author has blended everything I consider necessary to make successful & believable stories. Truly a great read!! I’m loving all I’ve read so far!

Hold on tight

I love the chemistry with Ron and Brenna. The storyline had me hooked, somewhat of a rollercoaster but loved the book.

The great sex!

The only thing that drove me crazy was the miscommunication! However, the story needed to have that drama.

Enjoyable to listen to

Great plot that actually is true for many that communication is an issue in relationships. After a bunch of up and downs with their relationship, they finally get their happily ever after. I hope it has a follow up so I can hear more about the sister and daughter.

playfulness between characters

thought the sister in her hand in things was cut short at times that it could of brought more depth to the already really good story
