~ SYNOPSIS ~
U.S. Army Ranger Cory Foster returns from his latest mission to find the ‘civilized’ world turned upside down. Trading in defending his country for protecting his sister, he’s just biding time until he can leave on his next mission.
Dr. Madison Wright doesn’t date military men - or family members of her patients. But when a medical emergency introduces her to a tough-but-sensitive Army Ranger, she’s tempted to bend the rules despite the little voice inside her head.
When a beaten and bloody Cory shows up on Maddy’s doorstep, she can’t turn him away. But their relationship is soon tested as Cory struggles with doubts about his future in the Rangers, and Maddy wonders if opening herself to loving a military man is a wise choice.
This is Book One in the Army Rangers Series. It is a novella of under 15K words. There is one sexually explicit/erotic scene in this novella.

RANGER'S LUCK
“Beautiful,” he murmured as his eyes met hers.
Her eyes were drawn to his hands. She watched as he loosened the string on his gym pants and let them fall to the floor. She wondered briefly if his wound still hurt him, but this was like watching her own private strip tease show—starring her own private Adonis—and she forgot everything except how turned on she was.
She brought her eyes back to find his still locked on hers. “Underwear,” she managed through a suddenly dry mouth. “Take it off.”
Something sparked in his eyes, something fierce and primal, and it thrilled her. He dropped his underwear, and as she stared at his erection, he cupped it with his own hand briefly, as if to say:
This is for you.

A fast paced read. Throughly enjoyed it. Maddy is a doctor in the ER who happens to be the doctor to treat Ella, Cory's sister. But Cory is now interested in Maddy outside of the hospital, and Maddy doesn't want anything to do with military men. Odd circumstances bring them together and it's fun to read how things progress and change from there. I loved Cory and Maddy.
RANGER'S DESTINY
Author: Tracey Cramer-Kelly
Series: Army Ranger #2
~ SYNOPSIS ~
U.S. Army Ranger Chase Richards just wants to do the honorable thing. That’s pretty easy when he’s chasing bad guys, but harder when it comes to his best friend’s little sister.
Ella Foster is off limits - and has been for three years. But when Chase agrees to help her in an emergency, he gets more than he bargained for - with Ella and her drug-dealing ex-boyfriend. Now he’s got to keep his hands off her - and his heart intact - or risk losing the respect of his best friend.
Ella has been infatuated with Chase since the day her brother first introduced them. The handsome hero was her knight in shining armor when she needed rescuing, but he’s so far out of her league, she’s sure she can never have him.
But when Ella’s ex crosses the line, Chase’s honor will be tested like never before…

~ MY REVIEW ~
Ranger's Destiny picks up in the middle of Ranger's Luck, but this time from Chase and Ella side of the story. Chase and Ella met 3 yrs ago for the first time when Chase stepped in to prevent something terrible from happening to Ella. But because Cory, Ella's brother, requested that his sister to be "off limits" to his fellow Army Rangers, Chase has never acted on his feelings for Ella. Good paced story, fun to see the same situations from a different angle. I for one can't wait for the next part of the story!

~ FUN FACTS ~
I write about bikers, soldiers and celebrities. I manage
our family motorcycle accessories business (Leader Motorcycle) full-time and
support my two kids in their competitive soccer teams, so I steal time to write
whenever I can. I’m not fast, but I’m persistent!
You’ve caught me at an exciting time.
The first two books in my Army Ranger Series are
out (about two Army Ranger buddies who survive everything together…
except, perhaps… falling in love) AND my full-length novel about a wounded
veteran/amputee, True Surrender, was
just re-released in audio format!
In
keeping with the military theme, here are Five Secrets readers don’t know about
me (and my writing).
1) I was a good medic
but a terrible soldier. I spent five years as an Army Combat Medic. I loved
the medical aspects of my Army training but I wasn’t good at taking orders or
keeping track of the many ‘traditions’ of military life (you can read more at http://www.traceycramerkelly.com/bad-soldier-good-medic/)
2) I don’t do well
with vomit. I often write my characters experiencing medical emergencies.
As an Army Combat Medic, I could handle blood, guts and gore. But when it was
vomit (in the back of an ambulance, for example) I came perilously close to
joining my patient in upchucking my dinner! (That was the end of my brilliant
idea to pay my way through college working night shifts for an ambulance
service.)
3) I get along better
with men than women. I wasn’t a huge tomboy as a kid; but I had stuffed
animals instead of Barbie dolls, and I preferred the Fisher-Price ‘people’ to
dress-up sessions. In my late teens and early twenties, I spent a lot of time
with men between riding a motorcycle (not many women doing that at the time)
and joining the National Guard. (It worked out well, as I regularly write from
the male’s POV!)
4) I became a ‘biker
chick’ at age 15. I joke that I was riding a motorcycle before I was
driving a car (thanks to my dad). I was a pretty ordinary, slightly nerdy
teenager in every other way, but I think there was a rebel streak in me even
then; I liked being one of the few women riders (that has, thankfully,
changed!). My current ride is a Yamaha Raider.
5) I wasn’t especially
patriotic in my younger years. Even though I was in the military myself (and
dang near got sent to Desert Storm in the early ‘90s), I didn’t really ‘get it.’
As I got older, however, I was influenced by several things. One: my motorcycle
buddies are very patriotic. Two: our family business manufactures US-made
products and it’s not so easy! But it was writing True Surrender - having to get inside the mind of a soldier - that
really made me proud to be an American.
