So whenever I get a chance to read a new author, I am never sure what I am going to get. This author is new to me and I can say I was not disappointed. She has away of grabbing your attention in the beginning and keeping you drawn into the book till the end. The emotions were just jumping off the pages and the author had a way of making the reading really feeling the emotions. I felt I was reading a letter from a really good friend not a story of fiction. I really like what a fighter Becky was she will fight till the end and take no prisoners. I really liked the relationship with Logan and his sister Pam and how she looked up to him and he was willing to fight for those he loved as well. This book flew by, this book does have some strong language and sex in it so it may not be for all readers. But if you are looking for a fun read that just seems to fly this book is well worth the read.

Ahhhhhh this book was just so good. I just couldn't get enough of it. I'm so excited to see what's next from this author.

Her Temporary Hero is Becky and Logan’s story. Becky is on the run from her ex that has just gotten out of jail and is in need of a place to hide and keep her and her baby safe. Logan’s cousin is Becky’s friend who decides to use Logan’s place while he’s out of town, we’ll she thinks he’s out of town. They have a chance encounter and realize they are not only attracted to the other but they could actually help each other out. But that’s just when it’s getting started. It was a good read and I enjoyed it. I just wish it had more.... I needed an extra epilogue, but that’s only because I liked the characters so much. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.

While I enjoyed this book - It took me forever to get through. I don't know why. Maybe it was the heroine that I just couldn't relate to and therefore kept putting it down. In the end, I finally felt like I accomplished something.

The story captures you from the beginning and has you immersed into the characters drama, and romance of their story. Totally enjoyable and entertaining read that will have me picking up more books by this amazing author. Happy reading

Her Temporary Hero by Jennifer Apodaca is a great story in the Once a Marine Book Series. Becky and her daughter need protection for her exboyfriend and Logan needs wife to get is his part of his father land.
I enjoy both these the characters. I loved how the interacted with each other. I enjoy how they truly want the help each other. I found people to find the unexpected with Becky. Logan had sweet side.
I enjoy the story. The book briefly glance on tough subject of PTSD. It brought it own heart the story.
This a great story. I really enjoyed reading it.

This is a great quick read with plenty of drama in a small town setting where we meet Becky and her baby along with her adorable dog Jiggy! Jiggy stole many a scene in this story. Logan is living with his PTSD, loves living out in his place in the woods by himself and it's all about being alone for him.
When his sister helps Becky and her daughter seek a safe haven from her baby's abusive jerk of a father who has been released from jail early and threatens Becky, Logan's sister offers up Logans place knowing he's out of town. Becky, baby and the pup arrive and settle in, not knowing Logan is headed home early and his middle of the night entrance makes for a little drama. He's not happy someone is living in his house and Becky for what it's worth dramatically doesn't want to be any trouble to anyone. There's a lot of push and pull between the two as the story unfolds and Logan's protective instinct kicks in to ensure their safety. Plus he and Jiggy have become pals. And I'm just going to leave you hanging as to how things play out between them and the rest of the story.
Great plot line and it moved along well. This is my second read of this book and the only thing I would have made me love this book more was the dialogue sounded dumbed down to me. Maybe it's the way I read, but both sounded that way.
A great read all in all.

4.5 Stars
This is book 2 in the Once a Marine series and it features Logan and Becky. I really liked how this author didn’t sugar coat Logan’s PTSD issues. They were what they were and he was slowly dealing with them. What is better than seeing how fiercely a woman protects her baby girl! Becky is vulnerable but tough at the same time. The steam factor was off-the-charts HOT! Logan and Becky were a sizzling match made in heaven, that just needed a little bit of work to get there. It was all the outside forces they had to fight just to survive.

I love this story and all its characters so much, that I wish I could have stayed in their world just a little while longer.

For Becky Holmes the term "happily ever after" no longer exists, at one point and time she thought she was on the cusp of finding it, then her abusive ex-boyfriend destroyed her hopes of having it. Now she is raising her child on her own, struggling to make ends meet, and is as happy as one can expect to be. Then her happy little world is turned upside down when her ex shows up on her doorstep, after serving only a few months of his sentence. He is trying to lay claim to the child they created, but honestly wants nothing to do with it.

Now to keep her child safe and out of his clutches she decides her only choice is to run... which takes her to a secluded cabin that belongs to a friend of her bosses. And directly into his protective arms...

Her Temporary Hero is a thrilling little page-turner brimming with action and heat, these two had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I really enjoyed this one, it had sweet and tender moments that squeezed the heart, steamy passionate moments to curl the toes, and dangerous action packed moments to keep me engaged. It made for a nice little afternoon escape from reality, highly recommend!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, via NetGalley request, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
