About this listen
It’s pretty hard to stay away from her when she moves in right next door…
I’m the jokester of the group. I always have that one-liner that lightens the mood, even in the darkest of moments. It's just who I am. I lost my wife 11 years ago when I was on my first deployment, so now I'm just trying to keep things light.
And because of that, I refuse to put my heart out there again while I’m a Marine. It’s not worth the risk. So when a beautiful single mom moves in next door, I’m going to fight that attraction tooth and nail.
Thing is, Maggie doesn’t want to be with me, either. Her late husband was a Marine, and there’s no way she’ll let her daughter go through that again. Or herself.
It doesn’t matter that sparks fly whenever we’re together. It doesn’t matter that her daughter is just as much of a book nerd as I am and we get along great. And it definitely doesn’t matter that the three of us are somehow turning into a family without meaning to.
Because we both know what it’s like to lose the one you love, and that old saying about how it's better to have loved and lost than not loved at all? We disagree.
Romance on the Reef is book four in this sweet military romance series and is told from both points of view in the first person with alternating narrators. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone, but they are fun to hear in order!

Story
As a Marine who jumps out of perfectly good airplanes for fun, you could say I'm fine with taking risks. But not when it comes to Shelby. For years, I've been firmly in the friend zone, right where she wants me. And since I won't risk our friendship, that's where I'll stay. But I can't pine over her forever. When I propose to my girlfriend and get rejected in front of the whole town, the joke's on me. Turns out proposing to the wrong woman because you can't have the right one is a bad idea. Shelby's always had my heart. Can I convince her to trust me with hers?

Story
For Spencer, Ellie has always been his rock. His stability. The one who was there for him in his darkest hour. But he's never thought of her as more than a friend...until now. And that's just inconvenient, since he knows what she wants, right down to how she takes her coffee. It isn't him. Ellie wants a stable life and a white picket fence, so she only dates guys who want that, too. She knows Spencer doesn't do relationships. And besides, high school is over, and he's about to be a US Marine.

Story
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

When Dani gets a flat tire on her way home one evening, she is, at first, less than thrilled to be helped out by a man that is clearly too charming for his own good. Even if he is handsome. And buff. And the king of the thousand watt smile. However, prickly Dani is eventually charmed by her hottie knight in shining sunglasses. And a brief moment spent on the side of the road on a hot summer evening quickly leads to a first date.

Fun Sweet
I loved the storyline it was fun and sweet.
I liked everything about the story as I like happy endings. I am not crazy about the female reader her voice at times can be strident. The male reader has a lovely voice and can draw you in. Of course I am partial to marine stories as it makes me remember my romance with a marine in 1967
