I just adored this romance, and can easily see how readers got sucked into following the whole series. The characters are so realistic, and I just loved the way Mac was so desperate to win Maddie's heart. Maid for Love provided everything I look for in a good romance, so I'm giving it 5stars. I w...

I'm still waffling about whether or not to get an e-reader. This is the first e-book I've read using Overdrive from the Cuyahoga County Public Library. I wanted to read the next book in this series so downloading it and reading it off the computer screen was the way to go. That isn't the easiest ...
I was really looking forward to this book and it was, of course, wonderful but... maybe there are just too many characters at this point. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the crazy, wonderful people on the island but I really wanted the story to focus on Adam and Abby more. I get that we need th...
I didn't really like Reid and Kate's relationship, but I thought Jack's reaction was a little too much. He didn't really try to talk to her, he just threatened to carry her on to the plane if she didn't come back to RI with him. Maybe I will like that relationship more in the 4th book which takes...
Thoroughly enjoyed the recent addition to the fatal series. It is great to see the progression of Sam and Nick and the other characters. I like that Marie tries to make this book as believable pertaining to the police aspect and the procedure of a everyday police work. I love the mixture of the ...
I really wanted to like this one because I'm such a Marie Force fan. Maybe my expectations were too high. I found myself skimming and trying to skip ahead. It just felt like it developed to slowly. I also struggled to understand Cole's attitude and impatience with Olivia. Knowing her past issues ...
I was disappointed with this book after reading the Fatal Series. I was expecting so much more because I just loved that series so much. But oh well. It wasn't a bad book, I just didn't connect with Julianna, and her going back and forth on who to be with drove me crazy. Michael was just too perf...
Nice continuation of the Green Mountain series. This time it's Hannah and Nolan's story but we are reunited with all the Abbotts. Emotional read with some heavy sorrows but Nolan was a keeper throughout. Nice bonus short story that continues their story even after the epilogue.Looking forward ...
While I liked the characters and the continuing story of the Abbott family, I did find it hard to believe that Hannah did not know two important bits of information about Nolan's life. In the first book of the series, it was emphasized that there were few secrets in their small town. Neither pie...
What a moving story! Hannah and Nolan's story is about as sweet as they come. After everything that Hannah had been through with losing her military husband, her story of moving on did not come without problems. Nolan's character is so touching with his deep love for Hannah. He was willing to mov...
I did enjoy the book a lot! Though maybe my own opinions about love at first sight not being real has kept me from loving the book. It was a cute story, I loved how he wanted to be there and help bring her back to trusting people since she was dealt such an awful hand. Though at times I felt he w...
Enjoyable romantic read 3.5 stars.It's years since I originally read this book, back before I was reviewing, the reason I read it in the first place was because I'd read the synopsis for 'Fool for Love' and desperately wanted to read that so I decided to read the series in order. Now I have to sa...
It just keeps getting better. The characters are so complex even the minor ones. It is a joy to read a well written story about complicated people. I love that Nick is so patient with Sam. I love that Sam is trying so hard. It's great that they both realize what they have together and are wi...
While I adore this series and every character in it, the main characters in this installment didn't do it for me. Still, it was great to remember everything about this series I had forgotten so much as it's been a while since I got my hands in a book from it. I kept waiting for something big to h...
Owen and Laura have been my favorite couple in the Gansett books. I was thrilled for them to finally get married and have their "happily ever after." And it was great to see the General get his just rewards. I really liked the way Ms. Force wrapped up so many stories in this book. And the surpris...
Marie Force - how is it possible with each book with the Gansett Island Series, you keep getting better and better....I hope this series will continue forever.Your stories sweep me away from the ever challenging daily lives we face.I can't wait for the series to continue and hope you will expand ...
This month is really lucky for me in romance reading, this is the third 5-stars-book that I read! More 4,5 stars, but the improvement from the last two books of the serie is so great that I prefer 5 incredibly-involving stars!In this last book in the Gansett Island serie, we see the interaction b...
This story was lovely. I loved the way that the author had each person own their fault in the break-up of the relationship. It was wonderful to see two people salvage their relationship and to not have either of them gallivanting off after other relationships just because their hearts were broken...

Ummmm... okay this one sort of didn't work for me. Evan is a confirmed bachelor who hadn't had a serious girlfriend. Grace is a virgin who has never even DATED, but one night together and BOOM! It's forever love...? I get that the couples in ALL the Gansett Island books have fallen hard and f...
07/09/13 on to the next,loved Grace and Evan.
The Abbott's are back in the third book the Marie Force, Green Mountain series, I Saw Her Standing There. Readers looking for a light romantic read, with humor, realistic characters and a true opposites attract storyline will love this one. Colton Abbott, the family mountain man, meets the woman ...
Truth....I was bored ...feels like nothing happened....I do like the characters....but I felt the story was told before I started the book. Through the whole thing it was the same mantra "how to make it work...not going to work...will make it work...back to how to make it work" Just felt like i...
He eyed the darkening sky and the frothy seas. “Gonna be a rough ride.” “That’s okay.” “Are you sure? We don’t have to go today. Another day or two won’t matter.” “Yes, it will,” Laura said. “I need to get this over with. I can’t think about it anymore.” “Do you get seasick?” “I never have before...
Harry was running late, but she’d forgive him since he snuck her in last-minute on a Monday morning. At least this time he wouldn’t have his hands all over her girl parts. A knock on the door preceded him into the room. “So sorry to keep you waiting, Sam. I had an emergency earlier that’s put me ...
They ate and drank like kings and danced liked fools. The tuxedo jackets came off, the bow ties were removed, and the ladies kicked off their heels. It was a blast. After the years of agony surrounding their mother’s illness, Paul enjoyed a rare day without the many responsibilities that had weig...
She had to get out of that house before she lost her mind. Hours of pretending that nothing was wrong had left her worn and frazzled. She couldn’t believe he’d done this to her—and to his mother. The poor woman had been shocked by how much older Carolina was than her son, which had been the first...
At least not what he’d consider atmosphere. “This is great.” Megan smiled at the huge bronze statue of a full-bellied pig standing upright that greeted them inside the door. “How have I never heard of it?” “Can’t imagine.” Seeing her bright smile, H...
@page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Chapter 12 Andi dragged herself out of a sound sleep to go home in the middle of the night, since she knew her mother wouldn’t approve of an all-nighter. I’m thirty-seven years old and still worried about my mother’s approval, she thoug...
She’d been alarmed earlier to see how much sicker he’d gotten overnight. Celia had assured Sam that she would be taking him to the doctor first thing, and there was no need for Sam to stay home from work—except she probably should have because she’d be good for nothing today. Listening to him str...
After checking her fresh-from-the-shop car into the line, Janey skipped over to where Maddie leaned against the black truck, her arms crossed and her face set in an unreadable expression. “Hey!” Maddie looked up, startled. “Oh. Hi.” Janey studied her friend. “What’s wrong?” “My mother.” “Ohhh.” J...
Sam shot him a look. “Because I know you. Spill the beans.” “We talked about you.” “Um, you’re going to need to elaborate on that.” He took her hand and kissed the back of it before turning it to press his lips to her palm. “...
Freddie had graciously volunteered to stay with them a while longer while they warmed up to Erica. Her partner was never better than in situations that required a gentle touch, and she was enormously grateful for that quality in him. She’d have to tell him that the next time she had the chance. &...
The agent was awake, watching the New Year’s festivities in Times Square on TV. Nick hated having that guy in his house, but Hill’s attentions were now focused on Shelby rather than Sam. At least he hoped so. Every so often he caught him looking at Sam with something way o...
For one thing, she hadn’t the first clue how to reach the pilot who flew them to concerts. She also had no idea where her passport was, which meant she had to involve Jill. She knocked on her sister’s door just after nine in the morning but had no doubt Jill had already been up for a ...
All she knew was that she wanted more of him—and not just sex, although more of that would be fine with her, too. “Like a deep, dark secret?” “Do you have a deep, dark secret?” After a long pause, he said, “There is one thing...
They rented a room in an oceanfront hotel and took to the beach. Though it wasn’t quite warm enough to swim, it was a hell of a lot warmer than it was at home. He sent his mother a text to let her know where they were and left his phone in the room, determined to punch out...
People got out of his way. For once in her life, Sam was glad to be a follower. She was too exhausted after the day she’d put in to fight any more battles. “I think I must be getting old or something,” he said the minute they were free of the apartment and heading down two flights of stairs. “Wh...
He could hear the ambulance and fire truck behind him. “She’s all right,” Trace announced. “She made the 911 call. She’s safe at the doc’s place.” Rick didn’t want to talk. They’d been working leads since dawn. Trace’s contacts had learned that two ...
Ben liked how Tess put others first. The kindness that radiated from her touched everyone around her and had been the first of many things that attracted him to her. Hell, he liked just about everything he knew about her, which wasn’t much, he had realized as they sat by the fire. &nb...
Watching those chubby arms and legs swatting at the toys above him was about the most entertaining thing Joe had ever seen. “What’s up?” he asked Seamus O’Grady, his second-in-command at the Gansett Island Ferry Company—and his mother’s husband. Since Seamus was only two years older than Joe, he ...
