Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Ellie Jensen stopped believing in happily-ever-after endings after her charming yet self-centered husband left her and their young daughter, Amy. The recent death of Ellie's brother John, who was killed while on duty as a U.S. Marine, has only reinforced the fact that when it comes to taking care of herself and Amy, Ellie is on her own. And so when one of John's friends, Marine captain Ben Kozlowski, shows up offering his help, Ellie immediately sets Ben straight by telling him that the only person she relies on is herself. Bit by bit, Ben wears Ellie's resistance down until he becomes a part of her and Amy's life, but his offer of a future together, while tempting, seems just too good to be true. A wonderfully honorable hero struggling with guilt finds love and redemption with a woman who learns that fairy tales can come true, in Linz's latest sweetly sensual and beautifully written Men of Honor book.

This review is from: Cinderella's Sweet-Talking Marine: Men of Honor (Silhouette Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

While the plot summary in the editorial review is essentially correct, and this book has a lot going for it, it also suffers from what seems to be a characteristic Linz failing--an excess of crudeness, basically. From the bachelorette party which consists of a trip to a strip joint, to Ellie's bizarre work situation in which she seems ok with the skimpy uniform and continual harrassment, to the advances of her smarmy boss, to the strange honeymoon pranks--all this stuff threatens to suck the fun out of what would otherwise be a pretty good story. But, all that said, I love Ben's ongoing fairytale, and Linz creates a couple of pretty fascinating minor characters.
