review 1: I really liked this third installment in the "Always a Marine" series of novellas by Heather Long! ^.^ "Tell It to the Marine" was sweet, telling the tale of James, a psychologist and former Marine working in "Mike's Place" (fans of the first two books will be familiar with it) and Lauren, a famous actress wanting something "more".This is another quick read that packs some oomph, though, I will admit that the ending had me a tad skeptical but hey, that's probably just the cynic in me (but I'm a cynic who still loves happy endings!). ^.^4 stars for "Tell It to the Marine"! ^.^
review 2: Tell it to the Marine is a stunning tale of love and redemption. Heather Long writes amazing stories about real people who have flaws but are learning to get past them. Tell
... more it to the Marine is the thrird book in the Always a Marine series but is a read alone story. You don’t have to have read the others to enjoy it, although I highly recommend it. Ms. Long is a fantastic storyteller. James Westwood was a Marine and now he’s a psychologist helping his fellow soldiers adjust to the world they left behind when deployed. He wants to help and deeply understands the soldiers he talks with. After all, he’s been there and done it. His whole group signed up for Madame Eve’s One Night Stand dating service to help the guys coming back adjust and now it’s James’s turn to find love.Lauren Kincaid is an aging movie star who is struggling with her career as well as finding someone who isn’t going to use her for her star power. Lauren is a product of Hollywood and the concern with agism and looks. Like many Marines who come back from service with issues, Lauren is also struggling to find her worth.Tell it to the Marine is one of most charming stories I’ve read in a long time. The focus is on the characters and their story, not just the sex between the two main leads. I love that we do get a glimpse into their love but not making it the focus of the book. We see two real people who fall in love with the “real” person inside rather than the people they pretend to be for the world around them. If you love a story that will have you cheering for the characters and remind you of the sacrifices that our troops make for our country, Tell it to the Marine is the love story for you! less

This story makes you really want to "Listen" to people not just "hear" them... great book.

A little too much psycho babble, but overall a pretty decent read.
