My Review: This is a very sweet romance.  I enjoyed the story.  The couple seemed to be destined for each other and got the HEA.

Be Mine
Blurb:
Beth has always loved Mark. He was the boy of her dreams even though she was nothing more than his little sister's best friend. Now he's back from the military and looking at her differently. Though that could be the plate of lasagna she dropped in his lap.
A series of mishaps gives Mark opportunity to spend time with her. He is sure that he is the man for her but experience has taught Beth not all men can be trusted. Can he convince her that he wants her to be his for Valentine's Day and ever after?


Excerpt

     Exiting my car, I spot Mark’s, a couple of parking spaces away. Hurrying into the building, I can’t wait to see him. When I do, I come to a screeching stop, tripping over my own feet; I stumble forwards only to be caught in his strong arms. 

     “You okay?” He asks steadying me. 

     “I’m fine, thanks to you,” I reply, looking him up and down, I ask the question slamming around my brain, “So why are you dressed in only shorts?” 

     A laugh escapes him, as he traces my jaw line. “I was training,” he explains. A second later, the door opens to the gym area; Jonathan appears also dressed in loose shorts, similar to Mark’s. 

     “Hey Beth, are you early or am I running late?” he inquires while wiping the sweat from his muscular torso. 

     “Both,” I reply, for lack of anything better to say. 

     “Okay, I’ll be back in a second,” he replies, walking past us and into the men’s changing rooms. 

     “I best get ready too,” Mark informs me, releasing me slowly, before heading into the changing rooms. I can’t help turning around and watching his fantastic back disappear. Just before the door closes, he pops his head out, and with a wicked grin on his face asks, “Did you enjoy the view?” 

     “Oh yes,” the words fly from my mouth before I can think about stopping them. Heat enters his eyes burning brightly into mine, before he retreats behind the closing door. “Damn.” I mutter, before finally moving into the ladies room to get ready for class.
