Wrong place, wrong time.
Right man for the job.
Declan O'Neill's US Marines career is over, but nothing can stop him from saving lives. When he starts an organization that aims to help people who can't defend themselves, his first client is a woman desperate for answers. Grace Lawrence knows something happened to her roommate, and she's certain she can trust Declan to uncover the truth - though she wonders if she can trust herself with a soldier like Declan.

Reviews

*I received a free copy of Marine Force Recon from Harlequin via NetGalley. This has in no way influenced my review which is honest and unbiased.*

I enjoyed this story for several reasons. Declan is one of them! He knew he wanted to continue protecting people, even after leaving the army. Grace was another reason - she had a good head on her shoulders, and she was very clear on how and who to ask for help when she needed it.
There was a lot of action, quite a bit of intrigue, romance, fights, and several strong female characters.

A good book, enjoyable, if a little predictable. It held my attention, but didn't stay with me. There wasn't a lot of tension or difficulty because almost everything was too easy to resolve.
