A Sure Thing (The Donnigans #1)
by Marie Harte
Meet the Donnigans
With
the eldest Donnigan brothers adjusting to civilian life, their younger sister
constantly in trouble, and their little brother clueless about life in general,
falling in love is the last thing on anyone's mind...
Can
this Bossy Badass Marine...
The
Marine Corps was everything Landon Donnigan ever wanted in life...until a
bullet sent him home with a medical discharge. Teaching a self-defense class at
the gym is old-hat for a marine, but when he meets sexy Ava Rosenthal, his
combat skills are useless for protecting his heart.
Be
her Mr. Right?
Ava
can take care of herself and likes quiet, bookish men-not muscular warriors who
think women need to be coddled. But Landon is more than he seems, and when they
come together, the results are explosive.

Review:
The time has come for the Donnigans to have
their very own tales of love and woe.
This series spins off another favorite Marie Harte series I’m
caught up in, and I was sad to discover that the order of them is interwoven,
so though they are certainly independent stories, reading them in the proper
release order can make a difference to those of us that have a small OCD
problem about reading series out of order (and of course assuming you are
reading both series). Landon and Ava
spark off one another from the very beginning, their anger, sarcasm and passion
are all interconnected and make them a truly fiery couple from the get-go. Ava
is the kind of professional woman that thinks her intellect is where she needs
the focus of her mate to come from, completely disregarding the role that
chemistry plays in as well as the importance of the heart getting its way, but
once she begins to understand the importance of that true connection she has to
trust in the change that comes over her.
Desire drives Ava as much as anyone else when Landon is around and
though she fights it, the draw to Landon is irresistible and will lead her down
a crazy path. Landon has always lived by
his gut, which kept him alive in dangerous situations in the military, but he
doesn't really understand his draw to the snippy, somewhat snotty and totally
sexy Ava, but he’s not one to deny the draw she presents. As they circle one another and come to terms
with the attraction and emotions that develop, Ava and Landon are obviously
made for one another and experiencing them learning the true value and purpose
of love was fun and exciting. While I am
certainly a fan of any of Marie’s work I find myself becoming invested in the
men and women of this small town and all the interlocking relationships and
family connections. If you like sexy alpha men with hearts of gold and sassy
and sexy women then you will enjoy this series, as well as the Bad Boy
Mechanics series, and I can promise that you won’t regret a moment of getting
to know this folks. I am looking forward
to the next story in this family and seeing Landon’s brothers find their mates
and their very own HEAs.
