A review by poisonivy70
Army Ranger with Benefits by Donna Michaels

2.0

It was ok. It’s a Hallmark movie with sex - Emma and Vince are very nice, and pretty oblivious. This story and their main conflict is dependent on their desire to be selfless. The inevitable misunderstandings, which are crystal clear to the reader, were predictable and on the whole, very sweet.

Unfortunately, it had a tendency to be repetitive and I wasn’t drawn to either character. Just about the whole town, with one obvious exception, feels like it’s carved out of cream cheese. There is a “triangle” in the mildest sense of the word, and it is very, very clear who is going to end up with the girl, which I did appreciate. The ultimate obstacle is resolved in a very easy manner.

I might have liked this more if I had read any of the earlier books, because those characters do make appearances and there seems to be more of a payoff at the end for longtime fans than I couldn't really appreciate as a first time reader.

This is a very laidback, easy category romance and if that’s your cuppa, you may enjoy this more than I did.
