Temporary Home

By Aliyah Burke

Sometimes past demons need to be faced before one can embrace what the future offers, and who better to slay them than a Marine?

Gunnery Sergeant Sam Hoch travels to the Pac Norwest upon receiving word his mentor and the closest thing to a father he's had, has taken a turn for the worse and is in the hospital. Once there he meets a woman who is unlike any he's ever met before. A former Marine herself, she opens up her home to him so he can be near his family.

Roxi Mammon isn't positive it was smart to allow Sam to stay with her, not with her immediate physical reaction to him. She'd heard tales of him from her best friend, his sister, and now having met him she is even more impressed by the man the Corps has turned him into. Silent strong type. Passion grows between them and soon she finds herself falling for the Recon Marine. And falling hard.

As things escalate between them, Sam has to accept his past doesn't control him if he plans on keeping Roxi in his future. Can he understand that this is the one woman who can give him something more? Will he silence the fear within him and tell Roxi she's the one for him? Will he realise that he deserves more than just a temporary home?

Reviews for Temporary Home

[Mpho Angela Ashworth · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Aliyah Burke is one of my ultimate favourite authors of IR romance. She always weaves a HOT, eloquent and exciting love story. Her books are well edited and proof read, making for a smooth read. The story of Sam and Roxi is no exception, I enjoyed it immensely. I found Sam at the beginning very frustrating with his skittish behaviour, but then I also understand why that was. I was very happy to see them work through the challenges they faced, and the "coming of age" of Sam, him being able to get over his nasty experience with his ex and ultimately take the leap of faith with Roxi which he'll no doubt reap the rewards of for many, many years to come. Onto the next one now!
