Just The Thing by
Marie Harte was just what I needed. This book had it all. Ex-marine
with PTSD meets girl at his gym. After trying everything he knew to
get a date she finally gives in and goes on a date with him. Gavin
himself warns Zoe that he is unstable. He has several flashbacks which occur
during the day, including one that happens at a wedding. Gavin
knows he has some issues but he does seek help, which Ava really pushes for him
to do. Some of those sessions were shown
in this book. I will say Ms Harte really showed his survivor's guilt and his
guilt over his role in the Marines and the intensity is shown. I
felt for him and my heart hurt for him. Tissues were used during those scenes.
I want to say Zoe is seriously
phenomenal, well she has to be because Gavin needs someone who is willing to
walk that extra mile with him. Now Zoe has some things in her past that is
painful and Gavin is there for her but she is seriously like rockstar awesome.
I don’t want to give too much away into their courtship, for it is something
that must be read but their love story is one that is beautiful. Out of pain
comes joy. Their relationship is one of
immediate attraction yet they fought it and tried to stay just friends
but they kept coming back around to each other and that permanent relationship
that they were fighting ended up being one at first they fought against became
one they fought to keep. Their sex was so hot –Think steamy, spicy, erotic ,
passionate and oh so intimate.
You also get to see previous
characters from book 1 make an appearance like Ava and Landon and the
rest of the Donnigan family. I really loved this book and cannot wait
for book 3.
