A "Force" To Be Reckoned With

I really wasn't on the search for a new romance author to read, but when both Amazon and Goodreads featured Marie Force in recommendations for me I couldn't resist finding out why. It didn't hurt that the Kindle Edition of the first book recommended, Maid for Love, the first book in The McCarthy's of Gansett Island Series, was only 99 cents! It's hard to regret that purchase price even if I didn't care for the book. As it turns out I can't regret the cost of that first book or of her remaining eighteen. In one month I read all nineteen books, and have added her to the list of authors whose new releases I eagerly await. Truthfully, I haven't read much in the romance genre since the 90's. Besides the obvious—romance, I must have subconsciously wanted to read happily-ever-after books. Of course, her Fatal Series features lots of danger and death and injuries to our hero (Nick) and heroine (Samantha).  I'm hard-pressed to think of another contemporary fictional couple who are as perfectly suited as they are. This, of course, does not mean they always agree, just that they truly want what's best for the other...um, always.

The books are well written with intelligent dialogue, reasonably plausible story lines, estimable characters (like Jack Harrington from the Treading Water Series! *swoon*), steamy chemistry, and close-knit families & friendships. What more could you ask for?
