A Sure Thing (Donnigans Series #1)

by Marie Harte

Overview

Meet the Donnigans

With the eldest Donnigan brothers adjusting to civilian life, their younger sister constantly in trouble, and their little brother clueless about life in general, falling in love is the last thing on anyone's mind…

Can this Bossy Badass Marine…

The Marine Corps was everything Landon Donnigan ever wanted in life...until a bullet sent him home with a medical discharge. Teaching a self-defense class at the gym is old-hat for a marine, but when he meets sexy Ava Rosenthal, his combat skills are useless for protecting his heart.

Be her Mr. Right?

Ava can take care of herself and likes quiet, bookish men—not muscular warriors who think women need to be coddled. But Landon is more than he seems, and when they come together, the results are explosive.

Editorial Reviews

"An awesome series. I loved this story. These characters became much more than just some made up people. I am so ready to read more about this family and can’t wait until the next book comes out. Anyone who loves a good romance will love this book!" — Night Owl Romance, 5/5 Stars, Top Pick!

"Intense chemistry, crazy courtship and just flat out fun; I LOVED A Sure Thing. Every time I read a contemporary romance by Marie Harte I simply want to run out and tell everyone to read it and see for yourself why I love her work so much. She makes me laugh, she makes me tear up, she makes me cheer and she makes me want to grab my husband and drag him to the bedroom, a whole lot like real life. Simply put, she is an amazingly gifted author who writes characters most people can relate to, characters you want to be friends with, and characters who while not perfect find the perfect one for them." — Guilty Pleasures, 5/5 Stars

"To say the sex scenes are steamy, sinful and colorfully described is an understatement. In addition, the story has a natural flow and progression that makes this a real page turner." — RT Book Reviews

A clinical psychologist has to re-evaluate her expectations for a mate when she begins to fall for an ex-Marine who is the exact opposite of what she's looking for.After watching his Marine Corps career disintegrate following an injury, Landon Donnigan is settling into civilian life. With a good job and a loving though imperfect family, he’s feeling good about his future, though he misses the military life he loved and expected to carry him through retirement. He’s not looking for commitments of any kind, spending time at the gym and dating casually. So he’s a little stunned when he meets Dr. Ava Rosenthal, the gorgeous clinical psychologist who’s determined to keep him at arm’s length, but can’t fight their blazing chemistry. She’s been trying online dating, looking for Mr. Right—cerebral, slight, low-key—to no avail, so giving in to sexual attraction with Landon won’t lead to anything real. He’s so totally not her type! Except that every minute she spends with him makes her realize that maybe her type is Landon. Which goes against everything she thinks she believes yet may be the answer to a happy future. At first afraid of her feelings, Ava is forced to reconsider when Landon challenges her assumptions at every turn and demands that she face her emotions and admit they were made for each other. Harte is known for sizzling sex scenes in her contemporary romances that feature everyday characters (as opposed to billionaires) and a sprawling cast of secondary characters who add conflict and depth to the story as well as hints at upcoming directions for the series. A blazing hot, emotionally intense love story launches a new series from an author on the rise.
