McCade Brothers #2
Falling for the Marine
Listening length: 6 hours, 59 minutes.
A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
Pretending to be in love has never felt so sexy.
USMC helicopter pilot Michael McCade has two goals: Get his damn back into alignment and keep his nose clean until his commanding officer clears him to fly again. The doctor-recommended massage therapy seems like a necessary step toward returning to the cockpit, but when his too-hot-to-handle neighbor, Chloe Kincaid, turns out to be his masseuse, he strays from the straight and narrow in a major way.
Chloe Kincaid is looking for a simple, no strings attached, ego-boosting hook up. But when her positively panty-melting neighbor, USMC Major Michael McCade, (aka Major Hottie), shows up on her massage table, she lets desire get the better of professionalism. Now theyre pretending to be engaged to avoid a whole lot of unanticipated consequences of a momentary lapse in judgment. But can a girl who avoids attachments at all costs fake an engagement to a straight-arrow soldier without falling hard?

4.5 feel-good, steamy stars!
With her trademark humor, witty dialogue, great characterizations and of course steamy smexy scenes, Samanthe Beck's Falling for the Marine hits all the right notes for me. Suffice it to say, this one is another winner for me.
USMC helicopter pilot Michael McCade (Lover Undercover's Trevor McCade's brother) needs to get his back in alignment and tip-top shape for him to be cleared to fly again. After putting a disastrous marriage behind her, all that Chloe Kincaid wants is a simple, no-strings attach fling. After an aborted hook-up that left Chloe handcuffed to her bed, it was up to Major Hottie to rescue her. Their attraction to each other was instantaneous. This usually presents a problem for me but Samanthe Beck has a way of writing insta-lust/love that pulls you in and makes it believable. And there's always that feel-good element to her books which I really loved. I mean, there are no crazy exes, no dark secrets, hidden pasts or anything like that. It's just about two people dealing with their attraction and feelings for each other.
I've always loved Ms. Beck's brand of humor and this book has plenty of it. One of the funniest scene in the book happened during a particularly smexy moment. I won't divulge it here but I almost died laughing when it happened. So hot and so embarrassing at the same time. LOL! I can definitely say that this book is her steamiest and naughtiest book to date. Plus, Major Hottie definitely has dirty talking down to a science.

I must admit I was a bit weary with how things spiralled so quickly at the beginning but I just finished the book with the cheesiest grin so I'm not going to be stingy this time. I swear I don't remember the last time I felt so happy reading.
The blurb sums up the story pretty well and although these pretending storylines I've read a dozen times, they never get old. I love the MCs, especially Major Hottie and the way he talks like he's on a mission. It was a cute sexy and sweet read. I have nothing to bad to say.

I read this book years ago, but never recorded it! This is one of the steamiest Brazen books I've read. Samanthe Beck's books usually are.

Summary (from ŷ):
Pretending to be in love has never felt so sexy.
USMC helicopter pilot Michael McCade has two goals: Get his damn back into alignment and keep his nose clean until his commanding officer clears him to fly again. The doctor-recommended massage therapy seems like a necessary step toward returning to the cockpit, but when his too-hot-to-handle neighbor, Chloe Kincaid, turns out to be his masseuse, he strays from the straight and narrow in a major way.
Chloe Kincaid is looking for a simple, no strings attached, ego-boosting hook up.

Now theyre pretending to be engaged to avoid a whole lot of unanticipated consequences of a momentary lapse in judgment. But can a girl who avoids attachments at all costs fake an engagement to a straight-arrow soldier without falling hard?
What I Liked:
I read this book three years ago and really enjoyed it. I love the fake engagement trope, and I love a man in uniform, and I adore Samanthe Beck's books, so this romance novel was bound to be a winner. Recently I recommended it to a friend, and in doing so, I realized that I never reviewed the book and hadn't thought about it in a while. So I took the opportunity to reread it, and liked it even more, the second time around.
Major Michael McCade is in for the surprise of his life, when he hears a cry for help (literally, "Help!") coming from his neighbor's apartment. What a way to meet his neighbor, to come to rescue her from an embarrassing situation. Chloe Kincaid is everything that appeals to him - and the next day, he finds out that she's going to be his masseuse, for his back injury. In a twist of events, Michael and Chloe must pretend to be engaged so Michael doesn't get in trouble with the Marines, for fooling around in public. But what happens when they both want the engagement to be real, but only Michael is all in?
There are so many great tropes in this book that Samanthe Beck executes really well. The fake engagement trope is one of my favorites; and in this case, towards the end, it is Michael that is committed, and it is Chloe that is the commitment phobe. This book also deals with two neighbors, if you're into that trope. At a certain point, Chloe moves into Michael's apartment, but it started out as a neighbors thing. You could also say that this is an opposites attract romance, with Michael being a straight-laced, tough, control freak Marine, and Chloe being a free-spirited go-with-the-flow type.
Michael is easily one of my favorite romance heroes. I love that he is a Marine and he is the epitome of a true Marine. He is so serious about being in the military, and he loves his job as a pilot. He is in his cammies in several scenes, which was gratifying (nudge nudge wink wink). He has a lot of honor, which is clear in all of his actions. He is loyal, grounded, protective, and very committed. The guy is perfect relationship material - and that scared Chloe!
Chloe is more of a free spirit, especially after her hasty marriage and divorce before moving into the apartment across from Michael. She doesn't like anything to tie her down, and she likes being on the move. She is sweet and funny, and she loves her job. She is definitely afraid of commitment, but after seeing her parents' marriage crumble, it's understandable. She's afraid of making the fake engagement real, because she's already been through one hasty marriage - another one is not in the cards for her.
Still, our hero and heroine have some combustible chemistry, as evidenced in scene one. Samanthe Beck's books are always incredibly hot, and this one is no less. Michael and Chloe are perfect for each other in more ways than one. Want a steamy, steamy read? Look no further.
I liked the ending, even if it involved Michael chasing Chloe (it should have been Chloe chasing Michael, but that's okay). It makes sense, given his upstanding, determined personality. She would have fled and been miserable and not done anything about it; Michael is more proactive and committed, so it had to be up to him to win her over. The ending was quite good!
What I Did Not Liked:
My only real dislike was what I mentioned above - I wish it had been Chloe that realized that she made a mistake and should never have left. But that's okay! It was more true to her personality that she didn't - she's so stubborn, she would have just suffered in her misery rather than go back to Michael and apologize and beg. Which isn't a good trait (not swallowing your stubbornness), but nobody's perfect.
Would I Recommend It:
I recommend any of Beck's books, this one included. It's one of Brazen's older books and quite frankly, their older books are gold. I enjoy all of Beck's books, but her older ones are what lured me in, in the first place. This one is an entertaining, sexy read, and you'll definitely be looking up her other books once you're finished! I recommend her Compromise Me series, and the Private Pleasures series. I haven't read all of them, but I've liked what I've read!
Rating:
4 stars. An excellent read, and clearly, if I've read it several times now. You can't go wrong with Samanthe Beck and Entangled Brazen!

I wrote the darn thing, and I love it like a child! I laughed my ass off bringing Chloe and Michael's antics to life. There's no better job than sitting at my computer dreaming up crazy, racy, impetuous situations for massage therapist Chloe Kincaid to fall into, (and for big, bad, Marine Corps Major Michael McCade to rescue her from).
If you've ever felt like you had some serious work to do on yourself to become the woman you've always envisioned, then you know where Chloe's at. She's got a mental image of the woman she wants to be, and she's created a free bird philosophy to help her get there. Unfortunately, she keeps falling short because, deep down, she's not a free bird at all. She's a natural born nester.
USMC helicopter pilot Michael's goals are simpler. He wants to heal his injured back, stay on the good side of his super-conservative commanding officer, and return to the cockpit. Getting tangled up with a sexy, entertaining bundle of trouble like his new neighbor Chloe does not factor into his plans.
But, sometimes, the tightest plans have a way of unraveling!
I hope you laugh, fan yourself a little, and give Cupid a high-five at the end of "Falling for the Marine."
xoxo,
Sam

4.5 Major Hottie Stars!!
I really enjoyed this installment to the McCade Brothers. Michael was funny, sweet, and very sexy. Chloe was a walking, talking disaster, but in a cute way. Michael and Chloe were a fantastic couple, and the chemistry between them was off the charts!!!!
After an untimely and very funny introduction they are instantly attracted to one another but neither are looking for any long term connections but fate has a (very) funny way of throwing them together.
Major "Hottie" Michael McCade and Chloe
just gets better and better, looking forward to more of her books. Keeping my fingers crossed we'll get a "Logan McCade" book!!

I think this ticked all those contemporary romance boxes with some sexy scenes thrown in for good measure. I really enjoyed this story of Michael and Chloe. Maybe I was in the mood for a funny romantic tale of two people who really shouldn't click. But they click on so many levels and for all the wrong reasons.
I give this the Magic Mike stamp of approval and because Michael is a Marine (and I've got a thing for marines at the moment, after Ty & Zane).....

4 HOT MARINE STARS
This was a light, fast, entertaining read with some great, steamy, naughty moments to add a little oomph!
Chloe and Michael's budding relationship - from the circumstances of their first encounter to Chloe's silly antics to the "can't keep my hands off you" chemistry - was enjoyable, sweet and just a great feel good read.

Yesterday, I was searching for something to pull me out of my bad book funk. Thankfully, I stumbled upon Falling for the Marine, which was precisely what I needed. Short, sweet, fun & steamy. Great characters. Well-written.
Was it a "perfect" book? No. However, it did make me smile after the horrendous day that I had yesterday.
*3.75/5 stars*

This was a fun read that left me happy! End was a bit rushed ...I could've kept reading about these two forever.

Straight cont is never my cup. And this didn't make me change my mind. If I stop reading to bemoan how stupid and careless a woman is when, as a guest, she decides to move the furniture, it's clear I am not into the book.

2.5 Disappointing Stars
January 3, 2020
Boring
Ugh I wanted to like this book. It seemed to have fun characters and a decent plot. Unfortunately, everything fell apart.
1. Why did the heroine only get a slap on the wrist? So the heroine and the hero end up getting it on at the massage clinic she works at after his massage. The only thing that happens is that the heroine is fired. I guess I should be happy that even this happens, as usually in romance book land everything solves itself, BUT I was dissatisfied. If this actually happened, the person would be brought up on legal charges not to mention they would lose their massage license. I just couldn’t get past how inappropriate it was and how frustrated I was that there were hardly any consequences.
2. Lust as a defense. Honestly the courts need to add being out of your mind with lust as a legitimate defense of actions because according to romance books it is. In this book we are supposed to understand that this woman is so out of her mind with lust (because she hasn’t gotten any for a year... as if that’s an unbearable amount of time) that she abandons her normal senses and does something she normally wouldn’t (as in she has sex with a client). There is absolutely no responsibility for her actions, just “oh the lust made me do it.�
3. No love just lust. The whole book was basically them being in lust with each other. Then at about 85%, hero spontaneously decides he’s in love with her and wants her to stay. No build up of feelings, just from one second to the next, he loves her. The heroine, on the other hand, doesn’t have love feelings until she apparently says she loves him at the end. There absolutely no emotional build up. No hint that they feel anything besides lust. But we’re supposed to believe they love each other? Whatever.
I wouldn’t recommend. Not worth your time.

It Was Ok...
This was a fairly predictable romance. It was an OK read, although I found myself skimming a bit to get through to the end. I thought the main characters necessity to live together and fake an engagement pretty unrealistic, although necessary to move the story along. If you're looking for a romantic happy ever after book, with some steamy sex scenes, go ahead and give it a try.

I couldn't finish this book. The behavior of the characters seemed far-fetched given how long that they had known each other. I enjoyed the first book in this series and I'll probably read the next one.

This is about what you'd expect for a book involving a massage therapist and a Marine. That was purchased for Kindle for 99 cents. That is to say, I've read worse.

4.5 Stars!!!
Okay, so men in uniform are always a sexy temptation, but Samanthe Beck’s Major Hottie puts others to shame!! I usually start out my reviews talking about the heroine, but Michael McCade was such a walking sexual fantasy of a man that I can’t help oohing and aaahing over him first! He’s strong, suave, and tender when he needs to be, and best of all he has a filthy mind that’ll make your panties melt. He meets Chloe under the most awkward (and downright hilarious) of situations, but he handled himself like the perfect gentleman. At least, until sex-deprived Chloe decided to move things along�
Chloe was a hoot, her sense of humor and laid-back look on life was refreshing. She had a “just say no to commitment� view on relationships thanks to a failed marriage and seeing what her parents went through, but deep down the girl just wanted to be loved. And thoroughly bedded. When a moment of weakness between them led to a sticky situation, Michael found himself needing her to act as her fiancé to save his job, and all kinds of warning bells were going off in Chloe’s head. She had more than enough reason to be wary of getting in deep with anyone, though, and I sympathized with her reluctance. A broken family and a broken heart are not something you recover from easily, and Michael had to be one hell of a guy to sway her. All of her reservations aside, Chloe loved every minute of her time with Michael. Her job as a traveling masseuse allowed her to never really have ties to any one person or place, but he made her question that for the first time since her divorce.
As far as the steaminess factor here, the sexual tension between these two was so thick you could feel it; they had incredible chemistry right off the bat. I prefer a little get-to-know-you time between characters before the clothes start flying, but there was so much intense pent-up frustration for both Chloe and Michael that it was almost painful to wait. They were just smoking hot together and Samanthe Beck once again leaves her readers fanning themselves while their hearts race!
This was my second read from the McCade Brothers series, and I loved both Trevor and Michael’s stories. I’ll definitely be looking forward to reading more, because the McCade brothers are an addicting guilty pleasure!
Quotes:
Major Hottie is military down to the soles of his combat boots, and he has keeper written all over him. Camouflage gives me the hives, and the only things I keep these days fit in my suitcase. ~ p. 42
He might have made a noise when she leaned over him and moved on to his shoulders, because she stopped, and asked, “How’s the pressure?�
The pressure on his back? Heaven. The pressure between his legs? Agony. ~p. 51
“No tattoos for you, Major?�
“Uh-uh. I’m not a big fan of needles.�
She chuckled. “Beauty knows no pain.�
“My ass knows no pain, and I’d like to keep it that way.� ~p. 125
“I think I mentioned this morning that I felt my Chi was blocked?�
“You did. I didn’t really know what that meant, but I figured unblocking your Chi might involve a trip to the drugstore. Never, in a million years, did I think it involved fucking with my FiOS.� ~p. 203

Okay, so men in uniform are always a sexy temptation, but Samanthe Beck’s Major Hottie puts others to shame!! I usually start out my reviews talking about the heroine, but Michael McCade was such a walking sexual fantasy of a man that I can’t help oohing and aaahing over him first! He’s strong, suave, and tender when he needs to be, and best of all he has a filthy mind that’ll make your panties melt. He meets Chloe under the most awkward (and downright hilarious) of situations, but he handled himself like the perfect gentleman. At least, until sex-deprived Chloe decided to move things along�
Chloe was a hoot, her sense of humor and laid-back look on life was refreshing. She had a “just say no to commitment� view on relationships thanks to a failed marriage and seeing what her parents went through, but deep down the girl just wanted to be loved. And thoroughly bedded. When a moment of weakness between them led to a sticky situation, Michael found himself needing her to act as her fiancé to save his job, and all kinds of warning bells were going off in Chloe’s head. She had more than enough reason to be wary of getting in deep with anyone, though, and I sympathized with her reluctance. A broken family and a broken heart are not something you recover from easily, and Michael had to be one hell of a guy to sway her. All of her reservations aside, Chloe loved every minute of her time with Michael. Her job as a traveling masseuse allowed her to never really have ties to any one person or place, but he made her question that for the first time since her divorce.
As far as the steaminess factor here, the sexual tension between these two was so thick you could feel it; they had incredible chemistry right off the bat. I prefer a little get-to-know-you time between characters before the clothes start flying, but there was so much intense pent-up frustration for both Chloe and Michael that it was almost painful to wait. They were just smoking hot together and Samanthe Beck once again leaves her readers fanning themselves while their hearts race!
This was my second read from the McCade Brothers series, and I loved both Trevor and Michael’s stories. I’ll definitely be looking forward to reading more, because the McCade brothers are an addicting guilty pleasure!
Quotes:
Major Hottie is military down to the soles of his combat boots, and he has keeper written all over him. Camouflage gives me the hives, and the only things I keep these days fit in my suitcase. ~ p. 42
He might have made a noise when she leaned over him and moved on to his shoulders, because she stopped, and asked, “How’s the pressure?�
The pressure on his back? Heaven. The pressure between his legs? Agony. ~p. 51
“No tattoos for you, Major?�
“Uh-uh. I’m not a big fan of needles.�
She chuckled. “Beauty knows no pain.�
“My ass knows no pain, and I’d like to keep it that way.� ~p. 125

Falling for the Marine is easily one of the best Brazens I've read in quite awhile. It rivals my love for the Line of Duty series, although a bit more tamer and plenty of hilarity involved. I've always adored Samanthe and her writing ever since first reading Private Practice, but if you recall, I especially loved the first book in this series, The McCade Brothers, Lover Undercover. Something about a set of super-sexy brothers, each with their varied degrees of alpha male-goodness. I have to say that this book is even better than the first. I honestly never wanted to stop reading, and when I had to, it was on my mind and there were plenty of times I was rushing through other things I had to do to get back to this awesome book. Samanthe has outdone herself with her own twist on the "fake engagement turned true love" plot line. As much as I read these types of books, you would think I'd get bored or frustrated, but I just love it, when it's done right, and boy, did Samanthe do it right!
The best part of the book was the characters. I really adored Chloe and Michael. Chloe is that awkwardly adorable, yet headstrong female that I tend to favor. I also loved that she didn't hold back when it came to her sexual side, she wasn't timid or innocent, but also, not slutty or kinky - exactly what I like. She is a bit jaded, and stubborn because of it, which always gets to me because this usually happens when they meet someone so amazing like Michael, but luckily Samanthe didn't take it too far where I wanted to do her physical harm. Whew!
I really loved the banter and interactions between Chloe and Michael. There were so many hilarious moments and I love it when an author can mix in a good amount of humor with romance, and keep up the "substance" that I basically require in what I would deem a good romance novel.
Michael is yet another guy I can add to my list of "hotties I wish were real and right in front of me". The dude is a marine, is quick to help a girl in need…especially when her hands are occupied. He is quite the charmer, and quick on his feet, and he sure knows how to make you swoon. He does quite a few things that really made me fall for him, not just because he's a sexy beast, but because he's also a pretty good guy. It's really hard for me to resist an otherwise good guy who is one heck of a dirty-talker. It's a weakness of mine!
Also, let me mention that I simply adored Michael's mom. She was a hilarious little surprise secondary character that I wish I saw more of. I loved her scenes and it definitely stirred things up a bit, in a good way, and I couldn't get enough.
If you're new to Brazens or an experienced reader like me, I'd highly suggest you read this as soon as possible. Romance lovers alike will fall hard for this story and these characters. I smiled the whole time I read this. I was filled with all the happy feels, overjoyed by all the laughs, and reveled in the sexy times. I can't recommend this book enough, I'm so in love with it. I'm also dying for the next book, which involved Michael's brother, Logan. Must have now!

I have read a lot of Brazen books, but this has got to be one of my favorite!
In the beginning I did feel like their relationship was moving a little too quickly, but things level out later on. I also like that there wasn't any "I want you, but can't have you" crap. Michael and Chloe both wanted each other and went after it. There was some commitment issues, but it wasn't as annoying as it could have been.
I know that I really like a book when I'm not looking at the percentage on my Kindle. I'm so engrossed in the book that I want more pages, and I'm not counting down till I finish it. That's what happened here, I don't think I checked my page count once.
I also liked the angst level. Nothing unnecessary. They were rational for the most part. For example, having arguments like normal couples have, but not making it into a super huge deal.
I don't know how the hell I stumbled upon this book, but boy am I glad I did! Highly recommend it!!

Sir! yes Sir! I'm more than partial to a military man and Michael McCade puts the Mmmm in Marine; confident, protective and funny, he's a charmer with huge heart. Free-spirited Chloe is stubborn and sweet. He's injured, she's a massage therapist, their chemistry is instant and lets just say his back isn't the only place to get her attention...
The second book in the McCade brothers series, Falling for the Marine could very be easily read as a standalone (although by reading Lover Undercover (A McCade Brothers Novel) (Entangled Brazen) you will have a better appreciation of the brotherly banter and just how different Trevor and Michael are). I love Samanthe Beck's writing style; her books are so easy to read, flow well and you can't not fall in love with her main and secondary characters. A sexy, sizzling read with humour and a good dose of sweet and touching moments, I fell for the Marine in the opening chapter and can't wait for youngest brother Logan's offering...his brothers have set very high standards.

Re read via audible
(Narrator is not a favorite of mine) despite this the story holds!
Lately I have found that many of the Brazen books I read over the past two years do not hold up on re read. I am pleased to say this is not the case here!
This story is sweet, sexy and funny! LOL funny. Even though this story is filled with emotional denial and some angst, I enjoyed it. I especially loved the super sweet ending.
Safety gang safe

Sweet, steamy read!
I really liked the premise of this book. Well, I really liked the idea of anything with a marine because let’s be honest� Who doesn’t love a hot military man?
Our heroine, Chloe is a free spirit. She doesn’t do involved relationships. She’s been hurt in the past and is determined not to be again. However, fate has different plans for Chloe. Because when she meets Michael McCade, the military man next door, that all changes.
I loved Michael as a hero. Tough and a little rough around the edges. But there’s also a sweet protectiveness about him that makes me tingle.
Did I mention that he’s a dirty talker?
No?
Well, he is. And y’all know I can’t resist that.
“You want my cock inside you? He raised his hips and ground against her a little.
Ԩ.�
Hearing her say so brought him closer to the edge, but he buckled down on his lust. “You have to earn it.�
There were definitely a lot of hot scenes in this book. (Not that I'm complaining.) But what surprised me most were the moments we got to see both of them being tender…sweet. I swooned a little, okay?
This was an enjoyable read � everything I look for in a contemporary romance. Sexy and sweet and downright hot at points. So, if you’re in the mood for a hot military man who knows how use his words…and his cock� This is definitely the book for you.

I want to marry this book.
First, I am in love with USMC helicopter pilot Michael McCade. If you like military men, stop reading here and go buy this book. It's fantastic. Second, Chloe Kincaid is a heroine I can relate to because she's complicated. She's had a few rough spots in her life and she's working it out when the story begins. These two together have off-the-charts sex appeal. Seriously, the pages burn as you're reading them.
I really can't say enough about this book. I couldn't put it down. If you're a fan of sexy adult contemporary, military romance, alpha males, or steamy romance go buy this book. It will be the best $2.99 you'll spend.
I can't wait for the next one and I plan to encourage the author to write a military series because she got it all right on this one! I'd give this book more than five stars if I could.

Before starting Falling for the Marine by Samanthe Beck, I was informed reading the first book in the McCade Brothers series, Lover Undercover, was not a prerequisite. Big mistake on my part. Why? Was I lost because this book can’t be read as a standalone? Not at all, actually it’s because I just can’t get enough of Samanthe Beck and her hottie heroes and want more, more, more. Falling for the Marine is light and fun, cute and sweet, hot and sexy. The writing is smart, humorous and stimulating making for an entertaining and engaging read.
Chloe Kincaid is a 25 year old masseuse who is determined to never make the same mistake twice. She has sworn off being tied down and avoids putting down roots in any one place after a failed whirlwind marriage in an effort to find herself. She’s also sworn off military men after her parents� unsuccessful marriage in which duty and country always came first. Enter Major Michael McCade aka “Major Hottie.� Michael is a helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps who has never been in love and is looking for some stability. The chemistry between the two is scorching. From their initial chance meeting where Michael helps Chloe out of a precarious situation, the anticipation of the couple’s first intimate encounter could be considered some serious emotional foreplay.
Chloe is such an amusing relatable character you cannot help but love her. She is quirky and impulsive. She is a free spirit, spontaneous and unique. Michael is seriously hot. He is a big strong man in uniform who likes order and control with a compulsion to be the hero and save the day. He is sweet and kind and a gloriously dirty talker. The rapport the two have with their witty back and forth and playful teasing draws you in to their story and has you rooting for their relationship from the start.
I loved the premise of the book and how it played out when each character realizes that love has no preconceptions and that no matter how hard you try you can’t help who you fall for. These opposites not only attracted but seemed to bring out the best in each other making them better together than apart despite their best efforts to deny their feelings.
The only thing that disappointed me about this book was that I finished it. What to do now? I will be rushing to read Lover Undercover and since there is still one more McCade brother, waiting with bated breath to find out if Logan will find love as well. Whoever the next story brings, when told by Ms. Beck, I have a feeling it will not disappoint.

This book should be titled 'Falling into a quivering pile of girly bits for the Marine', but I guess that might be a tad too long. It would be the truth though!
Chloe Kincaid works as a massage therapist for a temp agency, which is the perfect job for this free-spirited young lady. Currently stationed at Camp Pendleton she is in the midst of preparing for a romantic rendezvous with a male friend when just as she clips the hand-cuffs together her answering machine clicks on with a message...her paramour cancels for the night. Frustrated, both sexually and mentally, the keys to the cuffs slip through her fingers and into the floor vent. In walks her sexy neighbor to the rescue, USMC Major Michael McCade.
Intrigued as soon as he hears her voice yelling for help, Michael makes a bet with Chloe and wins a kiss. A kiss that he can't get out of his head. But when he see's her again in the clinic for a mandatory massage due to an injury, that is when the sparks really fly.
Forced to portray an engaged couple after being caught in the act during an illicit liaison, Micheal and Chloe are forced in even closer quarters and those initial sparks of chemistry turn into an inferno. But what happens when Micheal decides that he wants to play for keeps and all Chloe wants to do is run?
Falling for the Marine is a true story of 'opposites attract'. While Chloe is a dandelion floating in the breeze, Michael is the strong and firm earth that the dandelion finally falls to. The opening scene sets the tone for the entire story and with Samanthe Beck's easy and flowing writing style, I was captivated from the first page and I stayed glued until the very end. Humorous, heart warming, and just plain HOT, you can't help but fall for all of these characters. I absolutely loved reading about Trevor's brother! It was an uphill battle for Michael throughout the story and I enjoyed every minute of it. And the obvious bond between the McCade brothers just added another element to hook me. Their sarcastic banter and good natured ribbing had me laughing out loud at times. And Micheal and Chloe's 'Story for their grandchildren', gah, so darn sweet! If you like a man in uniform then I definitely recommend you pick up Falling for the Marine today. It can be read as a stand-alone but if you would like to get the full scope on the McCade's and all their nuances I recommend you reading up Lover Undercover first. You won't regret it. I can't wait for the next McCade Brother!

Please note* You do not need to read the first book in this series in order to read this book.
I personally have never been disappointed with a Brazen title! I was hooked into this book from the first page. (I love when that happens.)
Chloe is a spur of the moment masseuse with a past that has made her the way she is. She's an extremely likable and relatable character. Michael is a tidy marine with back issues that have put his helicopter flying career on hold. This book had me laughing and blushing the whole way through. Chloe's antics and Michael's reactions were so much fun!
Watching the characters oppositeness (is that a word?) and chemistry was so much fun. I feel like I know these characters! Needless to say I am running to order the first book in this series right now. Thank you so much to Brazen for allowing me to review this!
Seriously, if you're looking for an adult contemporary romance, check out this series.

The first thing that struck me about this story was the strong, brotherly relationship between the male characters and their witty, sarcastic banter at each other's expense; I love the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, humor Ms. Beck works into so many of the conversations.
I also really liked Michael's personality. He's strong and determined but has an emotional softness toward Chloe that is spiced up with a snappy temper and edgy sexuality. She's such a free spirit, and his opposite in just about every way, that watching their spats and squabbles reminded me of real married couples. They just fit, and their relationship felt real right from the start.
Real, and smokin' hot! Major Michael McCade has serious skills. In the bedroom, this man is confident, demanding, and loves to talk dirty, and it's sexy as hell! I liked everything about this book, from the author's writing style to the flow of the plot to the inter-relationships between various characters and the subtle nuances of the main couple's personalities. Can't wait to see more from the McCade brothers!
