Learn with Me (With Me #3) by Kris Jacen








Blurb

Josiah "Siah" Kent has always loved learning; now he's living his dream of teaching children to love it too. After getting his degrees in New Orleans, he accepted a teaching position outside of Washington DC. What a better place to be able to teach and continue learning?

Sergeant Carter May joined the Army right out of high school. He's always struggled to succeed in school but has found a place in the military but has dreamed of getting a college degree--he'd be the first in his family if he did. Being stationed with the Presidential Firing Battery at Arlington National Cemetery will give him the opportunity to take the chance, but will he risk failing?

A chance meeting years ago in New Orleans, had sparks flying between Siah and Carter. Another chance encounter between the ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, blow those sparks into a full flame. Can Siah and Carter find some common ground to learn more about each other and a possible future together?


Review 
My Rating - 4 Stars!

Learn With Me, the third book in Kris Jacen's With Me series, is another great romance involving military life. It's realistic and helps the reader get a glimpse into the everyday lives of military families.

We met Siah in book two, and now we get his story. He's escaped his past and is now a teacher. As he has two of the military kids in his class, we get an eye-opening look into how military life affects children. 

When Siah runs into Carter again, the attraction is still there, and he is open to having a friend. They learn a lot about themselves and each other. They have to deal with some issues from their pasts, homophobia, and losing friends. And, at the end of the day, both men are at a crossroads in their lives, and have some decisions to make.

I love Siah, with all his rambling. He's absolutely adorable.

Along with the growing relationship between Siah and Carter, we get another fabulous look into army life. We learn more about the issues military families face, some of the military traditions, and more. 

I love the way army families make extended families with their fellow army families. The children being taken care of by everyone is wonderful. Non military people can't relate. 

As usual, in Learn With Me, the author's writing style is good, and the story is told with knowledge and care. One of the best parts of this series is the way they focus on those at home, versus being a military action story. It's rare to get this look into military life.
