Marine For Hire by Tawna Fenske
4.0
Sheri is a newly divorced woman and the mother of twin 7 month-old boys. Her Ex is a jerk who left her soon after she gave birth to the boys and took off to have fun with a stripper. Of course once the divorce is final, her Ex becomes an ass trying to get Sheri to take him back. He claimed that she's not a good mom for not getting back with him and thought the boys needed a mother and father. Never mind the fact that he doesn't bother to ask to see the boys. They had been living in Hawaii and she ended up staying for a new job, moving to a different Hawaiian island and a new house now she just needs a nanny to help look after the boys.
Sam is a marine who's off on leave and considering whether or not he'll re-enlist for another tour of duty. Sam has been friends with Mac since they were in college and Sam owes Mac for saving his life in the past. The last thing Sam expects is for Mac to show up asking him to pose as a nanny for his sister to protect her from her Ex husband. Sam has 6 sisters that have many kids and he likes kids but that doesn't mean that he's a fit nanny. Mac tells him it's only needed for a couple weeks as the Ex will be shipped off to his next assignment soon. Sam agrees because he owes Mac but since Sheri has an issue with overbearing marines, Mac's insisting they lie about Sam's background and Sam isn't thrilled about the idea.
Mac takes Sam to Hawaii to meet up with Sheri and get him settled in. When they arrive, Sheri isn't sure about Sam but when the twins take to him, he manages to change a diaper and puts together a good dinner, she decides that she'll give him a chance as her manny. Sam actually remembers Sheri from college and he had a crush on her. It's been years since then but Sam is surprised to realize that his attraction to Sheri has only grown. The attraction is mutual too as Sheri has a hard time not thinking dirty thoughts about Sam. Sam does his best to scout things out and make sure things are as safe as he can make them as he starts his position as Sheri's manny. Things go well between them but the attraction makes things very difficult as they both have trouble keeping their hands off each other. They don't exactly succeed in this though and each time they slip they both agree they shouldn't have done whatever they slipped and did and then try to act like it didn't happen. Sam would actually like to have something happen but he is lying to her and there are problems. Mac made it clear to him to keep his "hands off my sister" and the lie he is living not telling Sheri the truth.
Will the lies keep these two apart? Sheri just left a bad marriage with her ex and will the lies end up being to much for Sheri? There was some humor in this story it flowed really well and the story makes you want to swoon for Sam and Sheri the chemistry is there but the lies may destroy it all.
