Marine Under the Mistletoe is Book 3 in the Always a Marine Holiday Series by Heather Long.  This book features Kaiden Nelson, a Marine Sergeant and Rowan Harper an IT techie.  Kaiden has returned home to celebrate Yule with his family after ten years of being absent (since he joined the Marine Corps). At the Coven House (where the members and their family go to celebrate Yule) he meets Rowan. The two share an instant attraction.  Ms. Long did a great job in showing the holiday customs and traditions of Wiccan, the Winter Solstice and Yule. I love the way Ms. Long brings the tradition of mistletoe into play. You could really feel and experience Kaiden’s conflict as he tries to merge the beliefs that he was brought up on – “an it harm none” with his duty to his country as a Marine.  This was another well written story about the conflict that soldiers face in merging their duty to their country and their beliefs.
