book is Messed up
There's a stalker who the "hero" and "heroine" make jealous by acting like they are making out/going to have sex.
Yeah. No. More. And. Not. Doing. This. Author. Again. A Soldier's Song sings to the heart of romance but does so much more, too, Irene's ability to reach into the military life and draw out the confusion, hurt and pride that goes with that lifestyle and combined with her ability to weave a tale of love gives the reader a sense of joy when the story is complete.
Be sure to read her other books in this series, You will not be disappointed!
I have read a couple books from Irene, This was a deep dark book, The Military also sent me to a hard read, Aria is the daughter of an Army Major! She meets a Sergeant for a wedding as she is playing the music.
He is Dex and they get to go together, Major Spoiler! Aria is jealous of his past girls, Aria is a great pianist and works an old professor to get into a new orchestra, She is working hard and yet Dex and her mother tell her she is wrong, Major Spoiler! She finally tries to find out he is, She finds she was taken, Dex and their crew go on a mission, They hear that someone is hurt or passed, They get a private plane to take where they are, I liked this book. I got it done indays! I hope you give this book a chance! Don't let it get away! Enjoy your reading! I am so conflicted about this book.
Things were going along fine nothing great, but basically a good book then BAM! A bizarrely abrupt ending, and no epilogue.
Im left wondering what the author had to leave to do instead of finishing out the story.
Was she under deadline Was there a family emergency Because I seriously cant believe the book ended the way it did.
Aria Greco is an aspiring professional pianist, When her father arranged for her to play at the wedding of a soldier who was formerly under his command, she is more than happy to oblige.
Its at this wedding where Aria catches the eye of Jason Dexter, who also happens to be under her fathers command.
They spend the night dancing and talking, and by the end of the evening, Jason also known as Dex is smitten and asks to spend the next day with Aria, before he has to head back to his base in North Carolina.
Aria is equally as smitten with Dex and agrees,
But they soon discover that a long distance relationship between the two of them will be extra challenging.
Dex could leave on a mission at any time, to an undisclosed location, for an undetermined amount of time, and Aria has an opportunity for a professional pianist position that is her lifes dream, but will require a lot of additional practice time with a former professor.
The times they do get to spend together are great, but when Arias practice times start to compete with the scare time they are able to scrape together, both are forced to evaluate what is most important to them.
For the most part, this was a well written book, Occasionally the dialogue was stilted and clunky, and several times I thought “no twentysomething is going to say that!” This was particularly an issue when they were having more serious conversations.
But overall the dialogue was cute and sweet, and I loved how Aria and Dexs relationship progressed and how they dealt with the challenges they faced.
Dex is a good man, but family issues hurt him deeply and cause him to behave in a less than honorable way, and Aria is young and not quite sure of her footing in life just yet.
When the majority of todays new adult romances are built around an alphamale hero and an instalove relationship, it was refreshing to read a story about a chivalrous man and a couple who is more interested in getting to know each other emotionally, rather than just physically.
There was a line in the synopsis about the faith they share, and I was expecting more of the characterizations and storyline to include some faithbased discussions.
They attended church and talked about God a couple times, but otherwise I wouldnt consider this a Christian romance.
Although there isnt really anything objectionable in
it maybe a few swear words kissing is as physical as Aria and Dex get, and I would have liked to see them have a discussion about that since its pretty clear Dex has been with plenty of women while Aria has not even really been on many dates, let alone have a serious boyfriend.
I feel like it was a missed opportunity by the author to add some more depth to both the hero and heroine, as well as their relationship.
If the synopsis says that their faith will have some bearing on who they are and the decisions they make, I want to see how that actually plays out in the story!
My rating for this book would have been a solid three, maybe even three and a half, had it not been for the sudden end to the story.
I won't describe what all happens because I dont want to spoil anything, but there is a very intense, serious situation, and everything is wrapped up in about two pages.
I touched the side of my eReader to go to the next chapter, and there wasnt one.
I about threw my Kindle across the room, I am glad everything worked out and all, but I cant remember the last time I felt so deflated at the end of a book.
I want to feel happy and complete at the end of a book, not frustrated and feel like Im missing the last chapter.
thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books/Lyrical Shine for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review
I have read all three of the novels in this series, and A Soldier's Song did not disappoint.
Irene Onorato's books are dear to my heart because mine is a military family with vets as well as a currently serving member in the forces.
Her stories have welldeveloped characters, intriguing subplots, and keep me turning the pages until the end, I highly recommend the series, I was captivated with the story line and the characters right from the beginning! I hated the times I had to go to sleep and stop reading, for me it was just that good.
Christian Fiction with substance, some reality and making you wanting more from Mrs, Irene Onorato. I absolutely love this author! Next up: her book, Saving Chase,
God bless and I hope you enjoy this entirebook series as much as I did!.
