Review: Semper Fi – Laura B Cooper

She wouldn’t even be in the predicament if it weren’t for Travis. A phone call in the middle of the night to ask for a “free pass” from her boyfriend of 7 1/2 years was hard to take seriously. When he doesn’t get the answer he wanted, his drunken stupor is all it takes to tell her via text message that it’s over. That’s enough to irritate Mattie into flying home to deal with him.

However, bad weather grounds her flight out of Washington leaving her stranded in the airport all night with one other passenger… Logan McNarry.

Ordinarily, she wouldn’t even think of speaking to him, but Travis’ unexpected break up was just the opportunity she needed to seek passion in the arms of another man.

All this leads up to the predicament that Mattie must face. Choosing the safe, steady life already mapped out, or chasing the love and passion one only stumbles upon once in a lifetime.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

With the phone call from Mattie Steinburg’s boyfriend, Travis, asking to sleep with others in the beginning I was firmly team Mattie. Mattie heads to the airport to fly and confront him, then she meets big, sexy, sweet Logan McNarry. The encounter and chemistry between the two of them is off the charts.

Logan McNarry is everything I love to have in a hero. He’s sweet, considerate and sexy and would never ask his lady for a “free pass” for a night. He does have his own demons yet he still finds and believes in love at first sight, that makes him pretty impressive in my book. After meeting Logan McNarry, I jumped teams to Logan.

I’ll admit the idea of them meeting in an airport, talking for a bit and then having an sexual encounter did seem a bit much for me. I was able to overlook it though. The story goes on to deal with Mattie and Travis and Mattie and her family and Logan and his issues. I didn’t feel like I got a lot of background on Mattie, and would have loved more. I also felt like sometimes the story didn’t focus enough on Logan and Mattie.

Honestly, I enjoyed the story. It wasn’t my favorite but I did enjoy it. I loved Logan most of all, and I think he made the story for me. He’s probably the reason I enjoyed it so much.
