Date: 11 10, 2013
Kaiden Nelson enlisted in the Marine Corps ten years ago.Marine Under the Mistletoe (Always a Marine)was his first visit home to his Circle, since leaving.  He was at a crossroads trying to reconcile a career he was proud of, but wrought with violence, with his spiritual practice's guiding principle - "an it harm none."  Meeting Rowan Harper was the salve his soul needed to begin healing long-buried wounds.Heather Long uses the Yule cycle of life, death and rebirth, as well as an overdue homecoming to weave yet another beautiful holiday story filled with faith, and forgiveness.  The Circle embraced newcomer Rowan, as a safe place to be herself, and she extended the embrace of perfect love and perfect trust to Kaiden.  As he opens up to allow the blessings of the Goddess and Earth back into his heart, he finds love.  He also finds a very sexy surprise under the mistletoe.As with many of the "Always a Marine" books, Rowan and Kaiden are faced with the realities of active-duty life and responsibilities.  Ms. Long's readers know that each short story is merely the beginning of the main characters' happily ever after.  What she continues to do, however, is write beautifully about the diverse men and women in our Armed Forces, and each story adds another layer to the series.  In fact, proceeds from this book will benefit "Toys for Tots." Not only do I recommend you readMarine Under the Mistletoe (Always a Marine), please buy this book as a gift for your friends.
