Every
red-blooded male in St. Helena wants Harper Owens…as a friend. Despite her
efforts at seduction, Harper seems to be destined to end up alone. The only guy
with a knack for unleashing her inner vixen is firefighter and resident
rule-breaker Adam Baudouin. Agreeing to a faux-mance could help him secure a
promotion—and save her family’s lingerie shop, the Boulder Holder. But playing
with fire has consequences. Especially when the flame comes courtesy of St.
Helena’s own Five-Alarm Casanova.…
None of
Adam’s quick-and-easy hookups have prepared him for a connection this
extraordinary. There’s more to the milk-and-cookies art teacher that he’d love
to explore. But first he has to convince her to trust the town’s most notorious
playboy. Even tougher—he’ll have to trust himself to be the real-life hero this warm and sexy woman
deserves.

Liza’s Review:
I was excited to see Marina Adair had a new release with Need You For Mine. As I somehow missed
the first 2 books in the Heroes of St. Helena series, I can definitively
say Need You For Mine can easily be read as a stand-alone book. I can also say,
I totally plan on going back and reading the books I missed.
Harper Owens is one of my favorite characters ever from Marina
Adair. She is everyone's best friend and go-to girl with the exception of the
Five-Alarm Casanova, Adam Baudouin. Their agreed upon faux-mance was
totally perfect in theory, yet I could feel the connection they had the
more time they spent together. I liked that they were both affected by
their first kiss and really couldn't stop thinking about each other.
I really felt like the more time the spent together
the more both characters showed growth. Harper looks at the work through
slightly rose-colored glasses, as in she really does try to see the best in
everyone she is around. She is very insightful about everyone but herself, and
Adam is more than willing to help Harper see all the wonderful things about her.
I loved that Adam couldn't seem to stay away from Harper, which
was so not his norm. Adam and Harper had chemistry that just got stronger the
more time they were together, yet there was also an unexpected sweetness
between them that I loved. I loved watching Harper and Adam both finally find
someone that saw them each for the person they really were rather than the
person most people thought they saw.
Need You For
Mine was a sweet, funny, and sexy romance and I highly recommend
it.
