Getting Lucky (Marine #2)
by
Susan Andersen (Goodreads Author)
Lily Morrisette wants roots, respect, and independence. So what is she doing on a road trip with a handsome marine who′s carrying her into the heart of serious peril?

Another contemporary romance with a hint of mystery. I always wonder about the 'we are going to fight like cats and dogs until we fall in love' storyline. Sometimes you never buy the antagonism. Sometimes you never buy the love. This is closer to the latter than the former. with the actions and statements of Zacharia Taylor (our hero) I don't know how Lily would ever get past them to forgive him. He's still an ass at the end of the book. But I did like the kidnapping story and it was good...more

Solid ... 2.5*! Yah, I'm afraid this one was no "keeper"; straight to the PBS shelf where I got it from!
This was my first Susan Andersen, and although I did finish it ... it was a chore, not the goal for my romance reading choices (nor the type of book I like to spend a bunch of my time reviewing/berating even).
WHAT WAS WRONG: The hero jumped right out of the box as soon as he was on the scene making ridiculously unfounded accusations to the heroine, whom ...more

Zach Taylor (alpha male) comes home from a marine stint to find his sister gone and she has rented out his room. He has always worried about his sister being conned and being takin advantage of because she is wealthy. So he jumps to the wrong conclusions about Lily Morrisette. Lily is a corporate Chef who just happens to be between jobs at the moment. Zach is accusing her running a scam on his sister Lily, when she shows him the lease it doesn't really calm him down much because Lily isn't aroun...more
Story of a marine and an executive chef trying not to be attracted to one another as they travel together to find Zack’s baby sister who’s run off to meet her fiancés family and is kidnapped. Characters are well developed and likable. Plot is simple but it works. Good beach read. Fun, fast fluff.
I liked it and would recommend it to anyone. The banter btw the H/h is good! It was a nice change of pace to read a book where the heroine knows how to cook something besides an egg. :)

This was the second book in the series, and if you thought the banter was great between Coop and Ronnie, then you are going to love the banter between Zack and Lily. This was a fun fast read, that grabbed you from the front line till the last. I am happy to report that neither the Hero nor the Heroine got on my nerves, and I never found a moment where it was hard to get through, like the first one, or even the third one since I have read it as well. Maybe it was because there wasn't a kid involv...more
I really enjoyed it. It moved fast and was very good, very funny.

Zach Taylor is convienced that his sisters roommate Lily Morrisette, trying to bilk as much money from his trusting sister Glynnis out of her money. When Lily tells him that Glynnis is on her way to meet her fiance's family, he hits the roof. And follows after Glynnis.
Why I picked this up: Road trip romances are almost as fun as arrianged marriages... and a little more likely.

Great fun summer reading!!
I love it when a cranky alpha male is undone by the softer side (not the weaker side) and finds his equal, if not his better.
Just enough intrigue and wit to make it a book to re-read, not read and pass along.

Very good. Sexy Soldier trying to rescue his sister while trying to fight his feelings for her friend who is helping him out. It includes characters from "Head Over Heels". Can't wait to read it again.
Fun read. I really like Susan Andersen's strong female characters. They aren't afraid to stand on their own two feet!
Good quick read. Thought the "baddie" could do with a bit more fleshing out, but loved Zach and Lily.
I enjoyed this one, it was fun. I liked the glimpses of the characters from the other two Marine books.
This was a quick, fun read.
Fun delightful read!

I grew up in a household with two brothers, a daddy, and my grandfather. Too many men, in other words. They diluted M'ma's influence by diverting my attention to things like the danger of answering nature's call in the dead of the night. I've got a hint for those of you raised in a less spit-and-scratch world: check before you sit, because chances are that seat is gonna be up. And they don't even ...more
