Review: Her Summer with the Marine
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 21, 2014
I liked this book, but didn't love it. I edged the rating up because only whole ratings are allowed, and the book did make my cry, which is worth half a point in itself.The comedic value of the rivalry between Ellie and Finn didn't hold up all the way through the book, and I was left wondering why neither of them could see the most obvious choice in the world: work together to achieve both goals. They worked well together in the bedroom, so why not translate that to the business world.The sex was reasonable, but I was thinking about other things even while I was reading it.I enjoyed the friendship Ellie had with her boss, and wish that had not been dropped cold partway through the book.I would read another of Susan Meier's books, but I won't be hunting them down so I can read her entire backlist immediately. This one was above average, but not great.
