BOOK REVIEW- A CURVY GIRL FOR THE CADET-Clayton Calhoun had been a soldier his entire life, but after nearly dying in an explosion, he decided to give up his military career and return to his hometown. But being back home isn't as easy as he thought it would be, and soon he starts to miss the action that the Army Rangers provided. Feeling unsatisfied, he's considers taking a job overseas and risking his life to do what he does best. But a close family friend throws him for a loop when he leaves him his very successful business. Clayton is faced with a big choice: Stay home and make his friends and family happy, or go overseas to do what he loves.
With so much on his plate the last thing Clayton was looking for was love. But then Daisy Lee Gracen storms into his life.
The formerly wild widow of a Marine and mother of a little girl was the last thing he wanted or needed, but when the threat of a custody battle threatens to take away the only person Daisy has ever really loved, Clayton steps in and pretends to be her fiancé. It was supposed to be just for the summer. It was supposed to be no strings attached, but Clayton can't get the woman off his mind or out of his heart and he wonders if a life without Daisy is a life worth having.
Will this just be a summer fling, or can the two overcome their pasts and find a future together? AMAZON
I really liked this story and I liked Daisy a lot.
I just want to say- "Can Daisy be my new best friend?".
She was funny too! I also liked her niece, Aubrey who was quite the lovely little girl, older acting than her years. It was fun that she acted a lot like her dead mother but looked so much like her aunt. She was often so adult like in her approach. I really enjoyed the nights that Daisy and Aubry cooked together. They sure came up with some interesting meals. Clayton, it was interesting to watch his character and past life unfold. What a good man, messed up some yes, but basically a good man. Against his better judgement he was drawn to Daisy almost from the start. She also was interested in him, the first man since the death of her husband that got her excited. They were good together even with the special challenges that they faced. Aubry in the beginning called Clayton the "scary man" but quickly warmed to their new neighbor, seeing a side to him that others missed. Clayton had plenty of family dysfunction but loved his sister, Maggie and wanted to be there for her too. There were strong, interesting secondary characters (like Maggie) that added to the story.
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
P.S. I know it says this is a Novella, but it sure feels like a full novel.
I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
