[Eva Millien]

(Off Goodreads)

U.S. Marine Major Kyle Waters has recently returned home after months at sea. He desperately wants some well-deserved rest, but his pleasant dreams turn from downright sinful into a nightmare when he wakes up, his arms full of a deliciously naked and thoroughly panicked Olivia Cava—the woman he’s been fantasizing about for months.

Kyle’s scheming ex-girlfriend has maneuvered Olivia into rooming with the sexy man of her dreams. Olivia’s a professional, a career woman who finds herself drawn to Kyle, as she’s been since she first laid eyes on him. Growing up as the daughter of a career military man, she’s vowed never to get involved with a Marine. Yet Kyle stirs something inside her, and she finds herself saying yes when she means to say no.

Their life goals seem worlds apart, but love will find a way. Until Kyle’s past relationship threatens to ruin the future he has only just found with Olivia. Can the truth set him free? And can Olivia put aside her five-year plan and her heartache to forgive a stubborn Marine bent on loving her…forever?

My Review:

The first novella in the Good to Go series is a wonderful quick romantic read.  Growing up as the daughter of a career military man, Olivia vowed to never to get involved with a Marine.  Home for some well deserved rest, Kyle, finds the woman he’s been fantasizing about for months in his bed.  Can the two find a way to work around their life’s goals or will Kyle’s past or Olivia’s five year plan get in the way?

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers entertained with sweet romance, drama and red hot passion.  The author describes the scenes and the compelling characters with well written details that inspire vivid images that the reader can easily picture.   The drama ups the tension level and draws the reader deeper into the story.

The attraction between Olivia and Kyle burns up the pages and frequent sex scenes including some anal sex scorch the reader with fiery intensity. A relationship however needs more that sex to make it work, so the two has to decide just what is important to them.  The author brought tears to my eyes at one point during this short story and I really things worked out a little too easily, but I enjoyed this romantic tale and the happily ever after glimpse of the future made up for the tears.

About Marie Harte:

(Off author’s site)

I’ve been writing as far back as I can remember. Interest in the written word, no doubt spawned by my English teacher father, continues to this day. I’m a voracious reader, gobbling everything from romance to horror to fantasy and more. I’m in love with the art of putting pen to paper…so to speak.

I majored in English from Penn State University, earning a B.A. in Liberal Arts, as well as a commission in the United States Marine Corps. Five years later, after serving as a communications officer, I left the service to focus more on family. After going through an assortment of jobs–the Marine Corps Reserve, a government contracted agency as an IT representative, a middle manager for a Fortune 500 transportation company–I stopped working to raise two new additions to the family–my youngest sons. During this period, I decided to stop dreaming and start seriously writing.

In December of 2004 my first story was published, and I haven’t looked back since.  I currently have over eighty titles with Ellora’s Cave, Loose Id, Samhain, and Total E-Bound.

I’ve received several awards to include: the 2005 Passionate Plume for Scifi/fantasy romance, the 2006 Amber Quill Heat Wave contest winner, 1st Place in Steamy Erotic romance for the 2006 Lories, finalist in the 2007 Linda Howard Award of Excellence, finalist in the 2008 Reveal Your Inner Vixen MRWA contest, and finalist in the 2012 Reveal Your Inner Vixen MRWA contest.
