review 1: Sarah's Review:This is the story that is tied with "Tell It to the Marine" as being my favorite. This story made me cry both times I have read it and it probably will each time I read it. Brody is our Marine of this story and he is amazing! Brody is the only one of group that agreed to sign up with Capt. Luke Dexter that is still an active duty Marine. When Damon tells Brody that Matt can't follow through on the date, he steps up to fill in. Shannon is Brody's date for the night and she is a sculptor that is trying to regain her life after a traumatic event during college. She begins translating the song that was being perform to Brody without knowing that he was her date. There are so many things that I love about Brody and Shannon. I love that Brody picked up on Sh... moreannon's nerves and figure out that she had been hurt. I love that he gave the control to Shannon in what happened that night. I love that he kept building Shannon up and wouldn't allow her to talk bad about herself. I love that Shannon began to feel more and more comfortable with Brody as the evening went on. I love that Shannon took that control and used it to help herself feel more confident. I love that when Shannon finally told Brody to help her, he did. Like I said, there are so many things that I love about these two. I also love that we find out that Damon lied to Brody and this was his 1NS all along after Brody confessed that he didn't want Shannon to know that he was a stand in. I LOVE that Matt played along and got Brody to do it thinking he was helping a fellow Marine!!
review 2: "Her Marine" was a really fab story about an artist named Shannon who loves to create sculptures focused on the male form but does not find any enjoyment in being with men, no thanks to a traumatizing and life-changing episode while in college. A year after signing up with 1 Night Stand, she's finally set up to meet a Marine on active duty named Brody, who is told that he needs to take another Marine's place on the blind date and agrees to do so even though he wasn't even open to becoming a member of the dating service in the first place. ^.^ Brody's stepping in for his friend Matt doesn't really factor much in the story, other than he meets Shannon. There's something touching about the story of Shannon and Brody. He gives her the one thing she needs in order to feel something when being intimate with someone--control, and not control in the BDSM sense. This is more about making decisions and choices based on what Shannon wants and not what is demanded of her.Of the books I've read in the "Always a Marine" series so far, this is the one book that has the guy still on active duty so that puts an interesting twist to it. "Her Marine" is definitely one of my favorites and it gets five out of five stars. ^.^ less
