Review: Tell it to the Marine by Heather Long

Tell it to the Marine

by Heather Long

(Always a Marine # 3)

Another 1 Night Stand and a fantasy come to life. Military psychologist goes on his date and ends up face to face with the woman that has starred in his fantasies, literally.  A celebrity.  Lauren was convinced by her agent to use the dating service to find someone normal not after her money or using her.


This is one of those "sparks right away" and "love at first sight" type stories and I find I don't enjoy those as much as others.  However, this was more of a romance story than anything erotic in comparison to other 1 Night Stand shorts.  However it's a bit slow.

All that being said I think I liked it better than the last story in this particular series by Heather Long.  With James not being one of the soldiers that came back from war with issues, but the guy that helps them recover, we have a bit less of the military feel to this story as well.

I did like James as a character, he was not intimidated with who Lauren is and still went for it.  Lauren on the other hand was just ok for me.

Review: Once Her Man, Always Her Man by Heather Long

Once Her Man, Always Her Man

by Heather Long

(Always a Marine # 1)

I think technically this book was intended to be classified as an erotica story, being that it's part of the 1 Night Stand series.  However, the story lacked the ummmm pre-requisites of that for me.  However it was a sweet story of high school sweethearts who were separated and then found each other again.

I always enjoy a second chance story.  Everything was going well for me here.  Rebecca was being fixed up with the 1 Night Stand service for a night of hot passion.  Luke had recently gotten back in town (or close to town) after his military service and had agreed to use the 1 Night Stand service as the rest of his team members.

Neither one knowing that the person they would find was their high school sweetheart.  Luke had left Rebecca when he enlisted thinking it would be unfair to force her to wait for him while he was in danger. She deserved to live her life.

Except she never did.  And here's my issue with this story and why I took a couple of stars off.  Rebecca has been waiting for Luke since he left.  She never lost hope that he would come back for her.  And I mean waiting in every sense of the word.  So it was hard for me to understand how she found herself on a date with the 1 Night Stand service.  It didn't make any sense.

However, I enjoyed the authors' writing and I am looking forward to see what comes next for the rest of Luke's military friends.
