Her Marine

Always a Marine, Book 5 (1 Night Stand Series)

By: Heather Long

Narrated by: Christine Padovan

Shannon Fabray is a sculpture artist and her love of the pure masculine body is demonstrated in every work of aesthetic art she creates. But her passion for the body doesn't extend into her personal life after a hellish experience in college left her with nowhere to turn but her work. After several criticisms about the lack of passion in her sculptures, Shannon is determined to face her fears and take desire by the balls. A one-night stand should do the trick.

2nd Lt. Brody Essex is an active duty Marine with one goal: Come home, get rested, go back. Brody isn't interested in a date arranged through Madame Eve's 1Night Stand service like the rest of his friends from the Corps have had, but he doesn't hesitate to fill in for a Brother who can't go on his own.

The last thing either Shannon or Brody expect is a wondrous, soul deep connection, but is the spark of lust enough to bring the two loners in from the cold?

Her Marine by Heather Long
Always a Marine #5. Military romance novella.
Series definition is about fining love for men and women who are or have served in the Marines. In this book, a dating service sets up a one-night stand. Shannon has been traumatized in the past and wants to overcome her romantic hesitation. Brody understands her fear and just wants to protect and heal Shannon. He helps her relax on their date and gets her to open up, both emotionally and physically (ie a bot and sexy scene).

I listened to the audio version. I did not care for the narrator. A sigh in the voice. The way each sentence ended. The timing. It just wasn’t pleasurable for me.
