3.75 starsMegan has been keeping a secret. A secret that has come back to haunt her now that Adam has returned to Raven's Cove. Adam, a sexy ex-Marine who has returned home to settle his family's estate and leave behind his past once and for all, is still drawn to the woman he walked out on three years ago. Although determined to leave his demons behind in Raven's Cove once he leaves, he can't stay away from Megan or let her go now that she needs his help.What ensues is a story of lust, love and letting go. These characters' lives will be forever changed by the secrets they've kept hidden and the bond they built three years ago.The Baby Bargain was a nice surprise for me. Although I read the blurb, this story was not what I was expecting. It had a bit of mystery, some angst and a lot of hot chemistry. I loved it!Jennifer Apodaca did an amazing job of bringing Adam and Megan to life. I wanted to be Megan's friend and comfort Adam in his time of need. I also had the urge to smack them upside the head a time or two, but that just means that I truly was drawn into the story and wanted them to make it through.Although the romance part of the story was fantastic, I do admit that the mystery part of it was interesting too. I was kept wondering who was behind it all and what would happen next. In addition to this, there were a lot of emotions brought to the page from both characters. From lust and desire to guilt and doubts all the way through happiness and closure, Jennifer Apodaca brought it all together in a way that made this story both entertaining and touching. I enjoyed it thoroughly.The Baby Bargain is a great first installment in the Once A Marine series. I can't wait to read more about the other members of the security firm.I received this title from the publisher in exchange of my honest opinion.
