Mac & Kelli are still my favorite couple of the series - but Grant & Anna give them a run for it. We have another couple made up of "I'm never getting married" devotees that discover along the way that maybe they really do want to find their happily-ever-after. There's a few heartbreakingly serious spots - but mostly our couple just has a lot of fun getting to know each other.
Anna gets bitten on the butt - literally, and hilarity ensues. Grant works hard to keep up his perfect boy scout image while Anna digs deep to what really drives him. All the Patton siblings (and their equally cheeky matriarch) show up in this one - adding even more fun.
Though, the elusive Schwartz... remains elusive so I'm starting Protector for Hire now.

How can you go wrong!?? A sexy Marine and an unconventional wedding planner, by unconventional I mean a paintball wedding or a nudist wedding?! Tawna Fenske has one hilarious sense of humor! I laughed throughout the whole book! I jumped into this series on the 3rd installment of her Front and Center series and Tawna swiftly moved to my auto-buy list! The mischief's that Anna and Grant got into were over the top funny! Anna is one strong woman who doesn’t believe in holding her punches! Grants’ boy next door, Boy Scout tendencies stick in her craw!
He had to say PLEASE!! So cute!!!
Tawna brings out the emotional aspect when delving into why Grant is always aiming to please. A mistake he felt he made when he was younger and the consequences has led to an estrangement from his twin brother, Schwartz, the Lone Ranger of the family. (We get his story next! Yay!)
From what I can tell the other couples from the previous books make cameos in this story and still sizzle right off the page! This can be read by itself, but as I’m usually a stickler about reading from book 1, I’ll suggest to start from the beginning with Marine for Hire and Fiancée for Hire respectively. Tawna really knows how to mix just the right amount of passion and humor!This review was originally posted on Nelle's NightStand
“Say it, Grant. Come on. It does you no good to be the perfect, polite Boy Scout all the time. Tell me what you want me to do.”“Suck my cock, please.”

I really enjoyed this story, until Grant's dark secret is revealed. I really could have done without that unwelcome and mostly unsavory revelation.

Well the banters are hilarious. Especially with Anna. She is fiesty and sassy. She has this humor on life. I love her. She is kick ass heroine. Grant is super perfect. So perfect that i do not believe he is too good to be true. Sometimes i wonder how the author can create such perfect hero.
The story itself is very simple. Not so much angst and not so much twist. Grant's past is OTT. Just because of that, he stays away from marriage?? That is unbelievable. I wish Grant can stay perfect.
Overall i enjoy this book very much.

I loved this story! The chemistry between Anna and Grant was amazing. This book has everything I need in a book - humor, likeable characters, steam, and a sexy military man. Grant is hot. This is the first book I have read in this series but I can't wait to go back and read the others. I really enjoyed this one and recommend it to anyone who loves a good romance!

This was my first book in this series and I found it very enjoyable. The story, while pretty short, flowed nicely and was fully fleshed out.

Seriously steamy and laugh out loud funny
I absolutely LOVE this series. This is my favorite so far in the For Hire Series. While it still had the humor and romance, it was also more intense and more drama. I can't believe the ending and so excited to read the next book.

Yeah, so not loving this one as much as the second book which remains my favourite.
The trouble with reading a series one straight after the other is that the similarities begin to jar. Each couple in each book, it seems, has their own hang ups and secrets which mean they feel they are unworthy/must never marry and it gets old fast. Also, when the books are about siblings you start to wonder about the so-called super-parents - how can they have (now) four children each of whom has a serious hang-up and they seem oblivious?
Anyhoo, Grant is Mr Perfect, Mr Boy Scout. Anna is Kelli's friend the wedding planner who specialises in kooky weddings (think nudist or paintball). They run into each other when Grant is running on the beach and Anna mistakes him for the best man at a nudist wedding.
They feel an instant attraction but Anna tells herself she doesn't ever want to get married because she has really bad judgement about men/caused her parents divorce. Grant on the other hand has a deep dark secret that he can't/won't share with anyone which means that deep down he knows he isn't the good guy everyone thinks he is (yawn).
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this book but the characters didn't jump off the page like Mac and Kelli did and this felt like a convenient way to match up two characters we had seen previously.
Ambivalent about reading Schwartz's book.
