So. Things that'll make me go all girly swoony? Marines. Marines who like babies. Marines who like babies and sing to them. And adore their heroines just the way they are. *nods* Marine for Hire was totally working for me.There was a good bit of humor in this one as Sam gets the lay of the land being a nanny for Sheri's babies and Sheri adjusts to having a man living with her and accepting help for a change.And Sam. Yeah. He's good. I loved this guy. He's a little bit damaged and not entirely upfront about everything, might not always have the smoothest of manny skills but the man was just sexy as hell and a good man. There were some really hilarious scenes with him and the babies and just with his domestic role. A little kitchen fire here or there. You know how it goes ;)Sheri was a nice heroine too. She felt real and so did her struggles with being a single mom and overwhelmed. She's got some doubts over being good enough but with Sam's help worked on it--I loved how he wanted her just as she was and let her know it in no uncertain terms that she was a wonderful mom. My only issue with Sheri was she was pretty slow on the uptake about some things Sam was hiding but other than that I really enjoyed her.Sexy bits were indeed sexy and I loved that more often than not Sheri was the one who started things up. There were lots of non-sexy times as well that I enjoyed just as much. Trips to the beach, moments with the little boys, meals, and other every day things that really created a full picture and were fun to watch and be a part of.All in all, Fenske put together a delightful military romance that had me smiling and going just a bit weak in the knees for one sexy Marine and the family he set out to take care of. There was a little bit of drama with the ex to throw in a little excitement as well. I can't wait to see what happens next in the series. The secondary characters definitely caught my attention. Especially her best friend who I was cheering on the entire time as she pushed Sheri to go for a little bit of adventure.
