3-3.5 starsThis was a cute and sexy story. I liked Jimmy and Lia and their story was enjoyable.Lia is the daughter of a Governor and a nice woman. She unfortunately has gotten caught up in her father's political career, especially since her mother has had health issues that keeps her out of the lime light. Another downfall of this is that her father is trying to push her in to marriage with the son of a Senator because it would make a good political connection but Lia isn't willing to go that far.Jimmy is a marine and works for a team that does a lot of undercover work. He and his brothers grew up on a farm but Jimmy and his brother, Jack, joined the Marines and are now on the same team. Jimmy has never had any problems getting women but has never found one to settle down with.Jimmy and his team are tasked to go undercover as waiters at a black tie affair due to a possible security risk. Lia and Jimmy catch each other's eyes and they exchange glances multiple times. Lia slips Jimmy her number and he calls her as soon as the event is over. They meet at her hotel and have a hot night but they don't get much time together. Lia still thinks that Jimmy is a waiter when he leaves the next morning but hopes he'll call regardless. Jimmy had planned to call Lia as he found an unexpected connection with her. Unfortunately, Jimmy's team gets sent to catch a terrorist and Jimmy is sent undercover almost immediately.After being gone about 6 months, Jimmy gets caught up in a bad situation and gets injured and sent home to recover. Jimmy has been thinking about Lia during the whole time he's been gone and thinking of her helped him get through some tough spots. He wants to call Lia when he gets back but it's been so long he doesn't feel he can. Lia has been thinking of him all this time as well. She wanted him to call her and has been on the lookout for him at every event she's attended since then. Lia liked Jimmy a lot and was definitely upset that he didn't call her again. They meet back up unexpectedly and their connection is just as strong and hot. They both want to get together in a more permanent way (yeah, it's kind of an insta-love) but have some mis-understandings to get through. They get to a good point though and the story ends with them starting their HEA.This was an enjoyable story. It was short and therefore not greatly detailed but the story was cute and I liked the characters and how it ended. I may try more of the series in the future. :D
