A Marine Discovery (A Marine's Heart Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 179 ratings

In more than five years together, Marines Cameron Warren and Sharon Rodriguez have weathered every challenge thrown at their relationship — including "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

But the world changed on September 11, leaving Cam to face civilian life on her own while Sharon deploys to Iraq.

For seven months, Cam reluctantly faces new challenges: making new friends, supporting those left behind, and realizing for the first time that she’s autistic. Life is hard, but everything returns to normal when Sharon comes home. Right?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jax grew up in rural Wisconsin with a love of nature, sports, and music. She wrote her first story at age 12 but didn’t continue the practice. Her creativity shifted to music which still brings her great joy.

She spent one year, ten months and ten days in the United States Marine Corps before being honorably discharged under the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, during which time she reconnected with her first girlfriend. They have been together since 1999 and had a daughter in 2015.

Writing is an enjoyable balance to Jax’s day job and a natural extension of reading voraciously. When not writing, she enjoys spending time with her family and coaching her daughter in soccer, which she can’t actually play that well. Thankfully toddlers don't require terribly skilled coaches. Jax and her family call the Denver metro area of Colorado home.

    If you’ve read book one in the series, Dal Segno, then you know Cam will
    eventually be without Sharon. Book two in the series tells how they fell in love and follows their lives through growing together amidst DADT. Book three
    expands on their lives through Sharon’s deployment to Iraq and Cams departure
    from the Marines and on to college. I fell in love with their characters. I know book one explains Sharon’s death, but in my heart she didn’t die. Since it’s fiction anyway, I have made a different HEA in my mind.
    Book four is about supporting characters that are in book two and three, Mags (Gunny) and Lane. Which is a great read. Cam and Sharon show up a bit through out the book.
    I don’t think I can bring myself to read book five in the series, although it has not been published yet. It will only solidify Sharon’s death, of which did not happen
    in my mind. I want Sharon and Cam’s love story to continue on to old age.
    With all the heartbreak in the world, I read to lift my spirits. Therefore, I do not want to read about more gut wrenching heartbreak, even though I know death is a part of living.

    This was a really good story to read and flowed seamlessly from A Marine awakens book 2...It was beautifully written and the author really brought to lite a very serious subject like Asperger / Autism spectrum. It was written threw Cams point of view and how she was able to pieced together sort of on her own a realization that this Autism spectrum was who she was. It made sense and allowed her to understand better her true self with out always feeling trapped in her own head. I liked that it gave us a more in-depth feel of this character. As for Sharon, we see more into her life before and after being deployed to Iraq. How it changes her perspective in such a profound way. The struggles she now finds herself in while trying to find herself her new normal.
    All and all, The relationship between Cam & Sharon was interesting to watch as they evolve separately and jointly... I also loved watching the relationship grow between the two. How they each leaned on one another for strength even when they didn’t even realize they were doing that. You couldn’t have two more completely different people be a better match...So Bravo to the author for bringing us another great book! I definitely look forward to seeing what comes next... 5⭐️

    I loved the book, seeing Cam going thru civilian life, plus having Sharon deployed and all the feelings involve, was very emotional, plus it makes you relate to Cam when you're face with new changes and a new life.

    Plus her realizing that she could be in the Autism spectrum, gave her a better understanding of herself and that it's okay to have all those quirks.

    I love Sharon as much as I love Cam and if you want a realistic story about the realities of DADT policy, an Autistic woman navigating civilian life and relating to all of her experiences/emotions, than this is the book for you.

    I love Jax Meyer's writing and so far she hasn't dissapointed me.

    Excellent sequel to A Marine Awakens and Dal Segno. Meyer has the ability to make you feel as if you the reader is inside Cams brain as she battles with the understanding of her own psyche. Cam in this story gets to know herself without the presence of her lover who has been deployed to Iraq. Via a chance meeting with a psychology lecturer she discovers that she is on the autism spectrum. By knowing this she is finally able to live and love herself. When the lovers reunite they find initially that they are out of sync but as they remember what they had and what they have learned in the time apart they reconnect.
    I did not know much about autism before reading this series of Meyer’s but now I have an insight as to what it means and how it affects the individual and their loved ones.
    This is a great read and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Read all of them you will not be disappointed but prepare to have tissues handy.

    Is it a hard thing to do or is it something unchangeable? That’s the question that Cam Warren asks herself throughout this book and it’s such a potent query.

    In A Marine Awakening, she meets her soulmate, Sharon Rodriguez in the Marine Corp during the time of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell but they make the relationship work in spite of the stifling policy. Six years later, in the sequel, they’re flourishing as a couple but their lives have hit a crossroads. Sharon is in the military for the long haul but Cam has decided to leave the Marines and return to college. This is a momentous decision that could potentially cause a rift between them. When Sharon’s unit deploys to Iraq, the separation triggers doubts and fears but unexpectedly, also allows them to grow as individuals.

    It’s during this time that Cam is finally able to put a name to what she has always felt within herself, what fixed her apart from other people, the struggle to make eye contact, the inability to gauge social cues, a lack of emotional reciprocity, what might be difficult to alter vs. what is hard wired in her behavior. For Cam, the new self-knowledge about autism resets everything.

    Discovery has intense moments but there’s also a lot of joy and humor. Cam and Sharon are one of my favorite young couples in fiction. The secondary characters are warm and genuine. I recommend that you at least read A Marine Awakening before this one. Lastly, Marines are hot and there are plenty of steamy scenes to prove it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fitting addition to the series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2020

    Another genuine 5 star read which met my expectations. When we first met Cam Warren in Dal Segno she was a woman approaching 40, taking time out to evaluate what was next for her in life. This book is the link between Dal Segno and A Marine Awakening, and we get to meet Cam and Sharon 5 years into their relationship, still very much together, but heading on different career paths. Sharon is the lifelong marine, whilst Cam has made the decision not to re-enlist, but instead plans to become a civilian and go to college.

    Cam has to break out of her comfort zone when she starts classes and makes a friend who is even more painfully shy than she is, which only serves to demonstrate how much awareness and understanding Cam does possess. She shows a lot of personal growth in this book and I can see the author laying down the foundations of the Cam we first meet in Dal Segno. Despite the circumstances of her partner's deployment and the stress this brings, I'm so proud of Cam and the way she becomes the rock for other characters in the book and builds her personal resilience.

    This book has filled in some blanks for me, Sharon’s deployment giving Cam the strength to take a sabbatical later in life and open herself to love again. The character development of Cam is a particular strength in this book in my opinion. In reading this series I feel like I've gained good friends in Cam and Sharon, and the author has really made me care about them. Mission accomplished Jax!

    I loved reading more about Cam's younger years and going deeper into her relationship with Sharon. Those two are so sweet and strong together. Cam's discovery of being on the autism spectrum was very well written. I'm very happy that some other books are being written about these characters and their friends!

    This was a happy and sad book for me.
    Happy for Cam, her growth and learning about herself (autism, friendship making, change from marine life to civilian life).
    Sad because we now know, exactly, how much she lost (see book 1, Dal Segno, Cam in her 40’s)
    This book completely solidified exactly how fabulous Cam and Sharon’s relationship was.
    It’s a testament to a great writer that you come away feeling like you really know and understand the characters and care so very much about them.
    “Calm down. It’s just Sharon. But there was no such thing as just Sharon”

    So good to catch up with Cam and Sharon again. This book is fantastic. Jax has taken her two MC’s who were nothing more than kids really in AMA and allowed us watch them grow in two mature competent women. Autism is sensitively handled, Cam’s journey from realisation to acceptance is wonderful. This book will leave you feeling warm and cozy although there are hurdles they have to overcome to get to their HEA. This is the longest review I’ve ever left but... It’s just that good.
