Always a Marine

review 1: Sarah's Review:I re-read this story today so that I could post a review for it and I remember why I fell in love with this series. What drew me in from the beginning was that it was about Marines because I think Marines are sexy and I wanted to read more. However, this story provided me a different view of the United States Marine Corps. Luke's business plan to open Mike's Place is part of the reason that he returned home to Texas. Rebecca was the other part of that reason. Luke follows through on the "obligation" to utilize Madame Eve's 1 Night Stand service and Rebecca ended up being Luke's date for the night. Luke knew that he was going to have to make up for 11 years worth of time after he left Rebecca to join the Marines after September 11th, 2001. Luke's mothe... morer and sister died on one of the planes after the tour of colleges on the East Coast. Luke's father, who was a retired Marine, was reactivated and assisted Luke in joining the Marines. Rebecca, Luke's high school sweetheart, was left behind when Luke joined the Marines, resulting in a broken heart. Over the course of 11 years, she has built her own business. Her company is also taking care of the party for Mike's Place, not knowing that Luke is the head of Mike's Place. I love how Ms. Long brought the high school sweethearts back together but didn't make it as simple as Luke walking in the door and Rebecca running right to him with open arms. She made Luke suffer a little bit for his stupidity as a young man who was going through a horrible trauma. I loved that Rebecca, despite 11 years, still loves Luke and demanded answers about why he left. This is the story that began my addiction to Always a Marine! I am always anxious for the latest one. I believe that the reason I love these stories so much is because I am a Social Worker and I want to focus my career on working with Veterans. Mike's Place is a perfect example of a place that I would love to work.
review 2: Can Madame Eve bring two high school sweethearts together again after he breaks her heart when he enlists and leaves her to fight after 9/11?Luke Dexter lost his mother and sister in the terrorist attack on the United States that fateful September day. His father was a marine through and through and re-enlisted to fight his own demons and to avenge his family. Luke also enlists but doesn’t bother to talk about his decision with his girlfriend. In fact, he decides to break her heart. Luke is a typical guy who doesn’t want to talk about his feelings and thinks that he knows what is best for the people around him. He didn’t want Rebecca to wait for him and knew that if he stayed with her, he wouldn’t be able to leave. It is his way of protecting his own heart rather than protecting Rebecca.Rebecca Rainier dreamed of babies and a marriage until Luke broke her heart. He left her without a real explanation. No man could compare to her memories of Luke. Yet she is strong enough to move on, setting up her own company and becoming successful in her own right. When Madame Eve brings these two lovers together, can they find the love that they lost?Once Her Man, Always Her Man is a touching story of a marine who never forgot his first love. I loved Luke’s determination to protect and avenge his family and Rebecca. No matter that he frustrated me and Rebecca with his decision to leave, he does have a good character. Rebecca is such a loving, caring woman who was strong enough to go on when her heart was broken. I admired her determination. The graphic descriptions in Once Her Man, Always Her Man of what war was like and how returning soldiers deal with the aftermath, touched my heart. I have family who are military and know that they would have given their all for our country. Hearing what Luke and his friend, Mike, went though will leave you in tears. But it is the steamy sex that will leave you breathless. I loved the tenderness and spontinaity of Rebecca and Luke. They can’t wait to get their hands on each other. If you love a tender love story with passionate sex and strong characters, you are going to love Once Her Man, Always Her Man. less
