The Moments of Glory series stands apart from most of Lindsay McKenna’s military romance work because it reaches back into history. Captive of Fate (1983) is an earlier entry, while Ride The Tiger, One Man’s War, and Off Limits all appeared in 1992. Together they cover wartime settings that range from World War II to Vietnam, bringing McKenna’s character-focused romance writing into stories shaped by historical conflict.
McKenna’s approach to historical military settings keeps the personal story front and center. The wars provide context and stakes, but the books are ultimately about the men and women living through them and the connections they form under pressure. Off Limits in particular plays with the military rule against fraternization, a constraint that generates its own kind of romantic tension.
The 1992 trio, released together after the earlier Captive of Fate, gives the series a cohesive feel despite the gap in publication dates. Readers who enjoy military romance with a historical dimension rather than purely contemporary settings will find the Moments of Glory series a satisfying change of pace within McKenna’s catalog.
