Lieutenant Brody Essex has been set up by his former-Marine
buddies. The guys have all gone on dates using the
1NightStand agency once they returned state-side and all
have had success in meeting a great woman they wanted to
spend more than one night with. Brody is still active
duty,
but is in Dallas on 10 days leave before he has to report
to
Washington DC.
Shannon Fabray is an artist. She's decidesto use the
1NightStand agency to see if she can get over her fear of
men that stems from a rape in college. Her art has
suffered
due to a lack of passion and she hopes to reclaim that
passion.
The moment she lays eyes on Brody she is instantly drawn to
him as an artist. She finds herself wanting to touch him,
to study his form, to sculpt him, draw his every
expression.
Brody suggests Shannon take him back to her studio and
experiment with touching him -- no expectations, no
pressure,
giving all control to her. Shannon begins to sketch Brody
and as she orders him from one pose to another, she begins
to take back control and find her passion.
HER MARINE is a sweetly erotic short story. Heather Long
does a wonderful job of handling the touchy issue of rape
recovery and PTSD. I really enjoy her 1NightStand
series.
She does a great job of building the characters in such
short stories.
Shannon Fabray is a sculpture artist and her love of the
pure masculine body is demonstrated in every work of
aesthetic art she creates. But her passion for the body
doesn't extend into her personal life after a hellish
experience in college left her with nowhere to turn but her
work. After several criticisms about the lack of passion in
her sculptures, Shannon is determined to face her fears and
take desire by the balls. A one-night stand should do the trick.
2nd Lt. Brody Essex is an active duty Marine with one goal:
come home, get rested, go back. Brody isn’t interested in a
date arranged through Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand service like
the rest of his friends from the Corps have had, but he
doesn’t hesitate to fill in for a Brother who can’t go on
his own.
The last thing either Shannon or Brody expect is a wondrous,
soul deep connection, but is the spark of lust enough to
bring the two loners in from the cold?
