Marine for Hire reminded me of the movie The Pacifier in a way. Big strong dude hired to take care of a family and kids when he has no real idea how. It’s written in the third person which I always find makes it a bit hard for me to connect to characters, especially in romance books, but I really liked both main characters.The story started out a bit slow but picked up quickly.  Sheri hates liars the most and unfortunately for Sam she doesn’t know he’s a Marine (she’s sworn off military men) and she doesn’t know he isn’t a real nanny manny.Things between the two get hot quickly. And it was pretty good… as in good. Note the 5 star rating below. When it wasn’t sexy the story was pretty hilarious. Sam with kids had me cracking up while reading and then when I retold some of the scenes to my husband. I mean washing a baby butt in a pond. I can actually see this happening to a man.Overall, Marine for Hire is a cute funny easy read. It’s a bit predictable in parts but kept me interested until the end. This is one of those books that I consider an easy reader. It’s good and fluffy smut with some action. An easy and fast read that I powered through in one sitting. Not one of my normal dark reads, but still a good book. It reminded me a lot of Gnome on the Range. A little fluff, a little smut, cute story but no real emotional involvement, just a fun little read. My stress level needs a break from all the kidnapping and sex slavery every once and a while.
