From bestselling author Jean Stokes... ??A city girl looking for a big change... A hot hookups-only kind of guy... And a greedy rancher bullying their small town??

Joslyn
I needed a change. I needed more space to breathe. What I didn't know was that the little town of Fort Balerno was home to a tall, strong Marine named Tyler Wright. I'd never felt like I needed a man. Until now. Oops.
His normal lines just won't work on me, so will he persist?

Tyler
He spends all day playing in dirt and getting a tan. That's what he tells people when they ask about his job as a soil scientist, but he's also a Marine Reserve. He dates a lot but most of the women just don't give two hoots about who he really is. Overall life was easy until he met me and found out exactly what he'd been missing.
Can we ever find common ground for us to finally click?

Murphy is a rich local rancher greedy for more money and won't let anything stand in his way. Tyler and I are now an obstacle to him and in his sights.
Can we stop this ruthless bully with the help of our Marine friends?

?WARNING: The Fort Balerno Series will have you addicted! Be prepared to stay up until 3am reading about steamy passion in a small Western town, a tight-knit group of smokin' hot protective military alphas and feisty heroines!?

Reviews

????? "Tyler and Joslyn hook you and don't let you go. The side characters in this book make you want to read more about them. Joslyn is such an independent woman who sees what she wants and goes after it. I loved how they worked together. I so enjoyed the suspense, surprises, intrigue and so much more. Wasn't able to put it down.."

?????"Joslyn and Tyler meet via friends as Joslyn is looking at buying a home and Tyler can verify plant, soil and drainage conditions. Their relationship is hit and miss at first but they are hooked. The characters are strong and determined and back each other up no matter what. The bad guy, Murphy, can not accept that the town is against him for his practices. Tension keeps building with the issues Murphy forces on them, injuring more and more, including sweet Odie. You will not be able to put this book down as the action is non-stop.

????? "Engaging with the Enemy (and that can be ourselves). This is a fun yet serious tale focusing on a Marine and a professor, seemingly with little in common. But, oh, things happen. It is the first book of the series, holding promise (and more) for upcoming books. Standalone, warm, romantic, page turner as things get complicated (within their world and exterior factors). Looking forward to the rest of the books"


Author Note
This is one of the heart-melting Fort Balerno romance stories about a tight-knit group of protective military veterans alphas in a small-town Western setting with independent heroines, high-adrenaline suspense, a dash of humor, no cheating and a guaranteed happily ever after in each book! There is a healthy dose of smokin' hot steamy scenes, no cliffhangers and each can be read standalone but is ideally read along with the rest of the series as you will love the characters and want to find out what happens to them!

Steam alert: 18+ only: I don't want your angry vigilante mama after me! If you aren't eighteen then go read Harry Potter, mind your language and eat your broccoli. But do come back when you hit eighteen and buy this book! This story contains mature themes and language intended for 18+ readers only.
