Marrying the Royal Marine by Carla Kelly

This story invoked similar emotions in me, the tone and way I was lost into the world the author created was reminiscent. This book reminded me a lot of 'All through the Night' by Connie Brockway (if you haven't read this book I demand you do). This wasn't oh he/she is hot, fall into lust but thoughts and feelings building over time and honest to god emotion. This author did it right and I was able to read about the rarest of all things, two people falling in love. These little things are what separates decent stories and great stories. The 'horror, he thought, horrors' part was hilarious and simply adding this part adds to Oliver's character and the story. “I could get up and use the chamber pot,” he protested, but only feebly.

If I hadn’t been available just now, she’d have done for you, too.” Gran cut up stiff, but Nana’s not a shrinking violet. “She’s tended me when I’ve been too ill to get out of bed. “I think you’re needing this,” Pete said, his voice gruff, but not unkind.

An example of this and a part which made me laugh out loud was when Oliver was sick and woke up having to pee and thought Nana was still in the room: The way the author writes Oliver's private thoughts was a huge boost to this story. I have only read two chapters and already feel attached to these characters and can not wait to see how they come together. Right away I have distinct feelings for Nana (yeah wish her name was different) and Oliver and like them a lot.
