Marine for Hire is one of those books that you pick up and don’t put down again until you have finished it. There isn’t a thing about this book that I didn’t like; Sam and Sheri were both likeable, strong characters with well developed, but not overly dramatic backgrounds. The secondary characters Mac (Sheri’s brother and Sam’s friend), and Kelli (Sheri’s best friend) also figured quite a bit in the story and really added value to it as well.”It’s Sam actually, but we can go with Mr. Beefcake is that’s more comfortable.”I loved the addition of the twins Jeffrey and Jackson into the mix, let’s face it babies always will add the ‘Ahh’ factor. The writing style was light, engaging and entertainingly blunt.Tawna Fenske has encapsulated perfectly what I would term as ‘normal conversation’ I could hear the characters talking, the quips and one-liners had me laughing pretty much from the beginning, and because of this it made what could have been a bland and average sort of story, shine like a bright, new penny.”I have more brothers than pubic hairs.”Interspersed with the humour though are a couple who are strongly attracted to each other, Sheri has been hurt by a cheating ex-spouse ’Lieutentant Limpdick’, and Sam has been tasked by her brother Mac, too make sure that he doesn't attempt to wangle his way back into her life again, now that she is moving on. Sheri has sworn off men in general and military men in particular. So when Mac asks Sam to keep his true identity and motivations for being her live-in Manny a secret, as you can imagine things run less than smoothly. Think Mrs. Doubtfire but with a hot guy not dressed as a woman!”It was a bit of a shock expecting Mary Poppins and seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger.”You know that this couple together are going to be hot, the pages literally pulse with the sexual tension between them, and I loved that Sheri was the one to take the lead and initiate things when she wanted Sam.”So.” ... “Are you trying to drive me insane, or do you genuinelt want me to throw you across this table and f*** you ‘til neither of us can stand.”This book was a total win; I had a blast reading it, and cannot wait to jump straight into Fiancée for Hire next.ARC generously provided via Netgalley, in exchange for the above honest review.
