Saved by Her Marine by Laurie Ryan

 How can he say no to a woman five thousand miles away from her child?

 About The Book: Kaedon Powell has had enough responsibility to last a lifetime so when the eight-year-old next door asks for help, he’s reluctant to step in—especially when the kid’s granny hates him on sight. The girl’s mother is serving a tour in Germany. As a vet, Kaedon knows what it is to be military so he steps up.

          When things start going south at home, neurosurgical nurse Holly Miller has no choice but to rely on the stranger next door—until a single phone call turns worry into yearning that’s destined to become more.

 Our Review: This is a story of every working parent’s worst fears. Compound that with said parent being stationed on the other side of the world and that fear turns into a nightmare. Getting home to deal with her precocious child and her mother’s rapidly deteriorating health becomes one more trial this dedicated mother/nurse/daughter does not need—but she handles it with grace, and guile, and the help of a few valued friends—and comes home to meet the Marine next door who kept her family safe and functioning until she takes over. Sparks fly, erupt, explode in a most satisfying way, fulfilling the wants of every romance fanatic.

          That said, the real star of this show is 8-year-old Paige. We can guarantee this: when you’re close to weeping for all this little one is coping with, you are laughing out loud for her smart mouth and huge heart. This the kid we want for our own.  

 On a scale of 1-5, Saved by Her Marine deserves an 8.
