This Marine will protect her at all costs...
When wealthy heiress Alyssa Brooks finds out her stepfather has been paying her fiancé to marry her, she's humiliated and betrayed. She quickly breaks the engagement, only to be blackmailed by her now ex-fiancé, who threatens both Alyssa and the son she gave up for adoption. With nowhere to go, she turns to the one man she can trust.
Former Marine sniper Hunter Reece's lethal skills could save Alyssa's life. But his little sister's best friend has turned into a woman, who is an irresistible mix of secrets and sexiness. And while Hunter can trust himself to protect her, he can't trust himself to keep his attraction hidden...or even pretend to be the man that Alyssa remembers.
Because the only way to keep the lovely heiress safe is to become the one thing he knows she could never love...a killer.
Erin: Exposing the Heiress is the third book in Jennifer Apodaca’s Once a Marine series, and so far it might be my favorite! A former sniper meets heiress mixed in with my favorite friends to lovers trope and I was all in. This book was on fire from the get go and I couldn’t put it down until the end.
Hunter Reece is my favorite kind of hero. A bit tortured, brooding but sensitive, and intense. *sigh* and Alyssa Brooks who has always had a crush on the sexy Hunter is perfect for him. I loved these two together, loved that there was a connection already and that they built on that as they learned to trust one another. There was a lot of chemistry between these two and the sex scenes were very steamy. And yeah, the storyline is predictable, but it didn’t keep me from enjoying every word. The action was suspenseful and this book was so much fun from beginning to end.
She's a Texan, though she drinks her tea plain and NOT sweet. She loves cheesecake, strawberry limeade's from Sonic and her favorite color is purple. In her books, she loves an HEA, but she never minds if the road is rough to get there, as long as the reward is worth the struggle.
