The main attraction of this book is the heroine, female working as a mechanic. Then comes this hero, guy like John Wayne, with his don't-touch-my-car attitude. And sizzling is ready. I liked this one much more than two previous books by Mrs. Child. I think this one was quite a good example of the genre. The marines are good characters as heros, beacause they have so black and white attitudes. Discipline above all and so on. I found this one worth the price I had to pay receiving it to Finland.

I enjoyed this book and I fell in love with the characters. Marie is a strong female lead and I enjoyed reading about how she thrives as a mechanic and owner of her own repair shop. Davis shares a love for repairing cars and I liked how this linked the characters, giving them something in common besides just the typical attraction. This book was a page turner and at the end I was left wanting their story to continue.

I am a foreigner and I have been using romance fiction to improve my english for years... well, this excuse sounds better than my admitting I am an incurable romantic. The more I read, the more eclectic I become. Marine under the Mistletoe by Maureen Child left me with the feeling there was something left unsaid, something lacking from the description of the two heroes and of the events which brought them together and kept them together. There was not enough analysis or, if you do not like this clinical word, description of the emotions and of the story line. I usually rate books by my personal put-down factor. If a book is hard to put down at the end of the day and I want to read just one more page... If, on the other hand, I have no problem leaving the two heroes up to their own devices for the duration of my sleep... I left Davis and Marie up to their own devices for 36 continuous hours. But then again, this is only my opinion... You may enjoy it far more than I did.

The woman is at it again. *PLEASE.* I just got kicked out of Parris Friggin' Island for cripes sakes...
