The Gun RunnerMichael has been a Marine for 10 years. Since a year he’s home working as a Gun Runner. He isn’t looking for a relationship until he sees Terra being dragged across a parking lot by her former abusive boyfriend. Nobody steps up to help her but Michael. Terra is immediately attracted but a non-catholic, non-italic man would never be approved by her father, the Godfather of the Italian Mafia.

Both have their secrets. Michael doesn’t reveal his profession and Terra doesn’t reveal who she really is. How long can they keep their secret? Will they be able to stick to Michael’s No-Sex-For-30-Days?

What I loved are both main characters! I also loved how feisty Terra is, both their dirty mouths and Michael’s friend Cap. I hope that Cap and Terra’s friend Michelle get a book too or we can read more about them in a second book.

Now some MINOR issues for me personally. I felt that Terra needed to reveal her secret when Michael confessed everything. I really missed an epilogue 😦 I’m not a big fan of insta-love. Condoms, birth control, … were never discussed.

The next books in this series will be The Game Changer & The Good Boss. The Gun Runner was the first book I read from this author and get 3,75 stars. I look forward to read more. Any suggestions on a book?
