Publisher's Summary:

I've spent my entire life under my father's thumb, but now I'm finally free to make my own choices. When my roommate dragged me to my first college party, I met Finn Coram and my life turned inside out. He knows how to break the rules and is everything I never knew I wanted. A Marine by day and surfer by night, he pushes me away even as our attraction brings us closer. Now I am finally free to do whatever I want. I know what I want. I choose Finn. I always follow orders. My job, my life, depends on it. I thought this job would be easy, all the rules were made crystal clear, but when I met Carrie Wallington, everything got muddy. She's a rule I know I shouldn't break, but damn if I don't inch closer to the breaking point each time I see her. I'm ready to step out of line. And even worse? I'm living a lie. They say the truth will set you free, but in my case...the truth will cost me everything.

Fun, feel good NA read!

Carrie Wallington is the only daughter of a United States senator. She is nineteen, and after spending a year abroad after high school, has settled on a college all the way across the country from her parents in sunny San Diego. Carrie is adamant that she wants to fit in just like every other student while she is in school, she doesn't want her father's "suits" following her from class to class. She is beautiful, smart, is a philanthropist at her very core, and has a whole lot of attitude.

Finn Coram is a Marine and is the son of Marine. They bleed green, and they are both dedicated to the Corps. Both he and his father work private security detail for Senator Wallington, and Finn just happens to be assigned to Carrie in San Diego, easily playing the role of a surfer boy. He's not particularly happy about having to "babysit the brat" so he didn't give it a second thought when he signed a contract saying that he would not get involved with Carrie romantically. After spending time tailing her he gets to know her and quickly falls in love. Problem is, he hasn't come clean to her about who he really is and Carrie is tired of the lies revolving around her life as a senator's daughter.

Sometimes I hate to admit that I love YA/NA romances as much as I do. I have friends that have kids Carrie's age, but I found this to be a very enjoyable read. Carrie is strong-willed and is ready and willing to become her own woman. She has no problem standing up for what she believes in and what she feels is right. She is not interested in the privileged life she was brought up in, however both she and Finn believe this will be a problem if the senator ever finds out about the two of them. The senator is unlikely to approve of the enlisted Marine, with his tattoos and motorcycle...he is far more interested in a stuffed shirt who will further his political aspirations someday.

Ms. McLaughlin spends a lot of time really developing the characters and the relationships between them. Finn, the rough, tattooed Marine is sweet and emotionally available, making him absolutely swoon worthy. Carrie is a spitfire, who isn't going to let Finn, even though he is in "charge" get his way with everything.
