Back Cover Description: Lilah, a military wife? No Way! For years, Lilah Forrest had dodged her matchmaking colonel father's 'bachelor bullets.' But that didn't stop him from steamrolling Sergeant Kevin Rogan into playing Lilah's personal escort. She'd never marry military-not even sexy soldier Rogan. But at the drill instructor's touch, her icy emotions did a swift about-face...and the virgin found herself unable to resist his masterful seduction. Still, Lilah knew what she wanted in a man-and gruff and solitary wasn't it. So why, after just one more night of loving, did she want to give this marine his marching orders...to meet her at the altar?

Nice story, good sexual tension, and funny dialogue between Lilah and Kevin. The only quibble I had was the part where Kevin finds out she's a virgin and not really engaged. I didn't feel it was that big a deal. It wasn't on the same level as what his ex-wife lied about. This is the first book in this Marine series I've read, and I'm now looking for the others.

This book is part of Ms. Child's Bachelor Battalion series with Marine heroes.

Lilah Forrest's Marine-colonel father has been tossing hand-picked officers in her path for years, hoping she'll take the bait and settle down with one of them. But Lilah has sworn she'll never marry military--she's just too unconventional to fit into such a structured lifestyle. Her objections haven't discouraged her father a bit, though, and he steamrolls Sergeant Kevin Rogan into playing Lilah's personal escort when she visits her father at the base he commands in San Diego.

When Lilah warns Kevin of her father's plans, he's appalled--divorced and wary, Kevin has no desire to test the choppy waters of romance again anytime soon. Relieved at first at Kevin's understanding, all too soon Lilah is shocked to find that the sexy drill instructor has her rethinking her decree against a military match, ready to give up her status as the Last Virgin in California in the face of his searing touch.

Kevin Rogan is an extremely yummy hero, strong but vulnerable. The sexual and emotional tension between him and the artistic, carefree heroine, Lilah, are tremendous. This book was too hot to put down--I read it in one sitting, eagerly flipping pages, late into the night.

If you like Suzanne Brockmann's SEAL stories, you'll really enjoy Ms. Child's Marine tales.
