Review: The Officer Says “I Do” by Jeanette Murray

I loved this book. It is funny, sweet, romantic and sexy all in one. I am a military wife. My husband is in the Air Force and I about died laughing at certain parts because I still make some of those new military wife mistakes and some things I do just to annoy my husband for fun. I could not put this book down. I read it in a day because I just wanted to see what was going to happen next.

Tim is your stick up the ass, stuffy military man and Skye is the care free, leave your stuff every where hippie type and their relationship works. They balance each other out and make the other better. You would honestly think that they would want nothing to do with each other, but that is not the case with these two. They are not only attracted to each other big time sexually, they actually work on making their marriage work. While their marriage definitely did not start off in a conventional way, they made it work. Tim realizes that sometimes you need not to be so anal all the time and that is because of Skye. Skye really wants this marriage to work and even tries to change to make Tim happy, but he loves her for her not who she is trying to be. 

This does show the sometime unfortunate side of military life. I am not talking about the deployments and last minute changes. I am talking about the snotty stuck up, I think I am too good for you military wives that give the good ones a bad name. I so wanted to slap a bitch when I read about Tim’s superior’s wife and how she acted. I loved when Skye finally said something to her. I wanted to yell out You Go Girl!!

If you believe in fate or soul mates, then you will love this book. If you love military romances, you will love this book. If you love a good romance, you will love this book. Have you gotten the hint yet, go get this book, you will love it! I am wishing it was January so I can get my hands on book 2 right now.

ARC Review: The Officer Says “I Do” by Jeanette Murray

The Officer Says “I Do” is book 1 in The Semper Fi series.

The Officer Says “I Do” is fun, romantic, and delightful.  And proof that sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.
 

Captain Timothy O’Shay, of the U.S. Marine Corps, and his best friends are on pre-deployment leave.  They are having one last hurrah before heading to Afghanistan. Tim, always the responsible and level headed one decides to loosen up and have fun for a change. 

Skye McDermott, the daughter of modern day hippies, is colorful, free spirited and a big believer in Fate.

What should have been just a very hot one night stand turns into so much more. Tim is drunk off his butt.  But, unfortunately when he’s drunk he comes off as being very serious.  So, when he proposes to Skye she takes him up on it.  They have a hot consummating of their marriage…then he passes out.  Skye wakes the next morning, finds her clothes neatly folded and Tim nowhere in sight.

 

A week later Skye packed up, quit her job and headed for Camp Pendleton.  She was going to hunt her husband down and convince him to give the marriage a try.  Just one little problem, Tim has no clue he has a wife. 
 

This was such a sweet story.  I can't help but smile.  Tim and Skye are complete opposites and virtual strangers.  They are both devoted to making it work though.  She believes it’s Fate and he doesn’t believe in calling it quits.  They both rather give it a try and fail, then not try at all. They have so much to overcome.  I loved watching them get to know each other and fall in love.
