All the ...

Men were hot. I enjoyed learning about them but I wanted more. This was not meant to be more but I can't help myself in wanting more. Thanks Tori for good stories. I can't wait to read more. 0373794495 This is a collection of novellas about four marines and their return home from Iraq. Each man returns changed and more committed to making it work with their women. I enjoyed reading their stories! Romance, Mystery Thrillers I'd give this one a 3.5 Enjoyable but because of the shortened format of having 4 individual stories I didn't feel like I knew how it ended for each of the 4 men. Tori Carrington Tori Carrington writes the HOTTEST blazes ever! This is a collection of 3 short stories about men in uniform. I liked the first story the most and wished it had been longer. My review: http://bit.ly/desmGE 0373794495 Four stories pack this book, which means four sexy heroes and four women who can't help but love them. I really liked this little anthology of men in uniform, a great kick off for the Uniformly Hot series. I hated to see some of these stories end. English

3 1/2 stars

The Harlequin Blaze series is typically cayenne pepper hot on the smut-scale, but this book was more emotional than most. Husband-and-wife team Tori Carrington pen an angsty tale of 4 marines' stories as they come back stateside. Although they're all from the same platoon, they are all in different stages of their lives, both professionally and romantically. The stories are short and poignant, and really leave the reader wanting to know more. Well done, smooth writing, recommended. 9780373794492 Putting this book down as erotica is so very wrong. The husband and wife duo under the name Tori Carrington wrote a heart-wrenching romance book. Other than people hooking up every now and then, this book is very emotional.

A Few Good Men is a 4 part story about 4 Marines. We get to know them each for a little bit as they come home and try to sort out their lives. They all melt your heart, and some you remember better than the others when the book is done. It's not always all feel-good, but it's worth your time picking up this book.

What's for sure, is that I'll be looking up more books by Tori Carrington. Tori Carrington A Few Good Men are four short stories about Marines who combat together and come home after a tour to different situations in their personal lives. This sees them dealing with the long time away from home and coping with their loved ones when they try to get back to some normality.

This is a great way to start the Uniformly Hot series. Each story is written well with likeable characters and it is super sexy. How could it not with hot Marines? This was a quick enjoyable read and would have loved to have an epilogue that tied the stories together making sure that each marine got back safely from their last tour.

Will definitely be looking out for other stories written by Ms Carrington. This was a pleasure to read. 9780373794492 I liked the stories but they were just too short - I really wanted to know what happened and how the couples got on and I really felt cheated that I didn't get that!

Harlequin books are short anyway and having crammed 4 stories into the pages really didn't work for me. 217 Harlequins are by rule rather short (of course it depends on the imprint), so it’s quite a feat to find a good story, with a proper arc, well-developed characters, and believable actions and reactions.
Unfortunately this Blaze book has four short stories crammed into the space of one story and the plots suffered greatly. Actually, none of the four encounters had much of a plot. Or interesting characters (despite the males being all marine hunks). Or gripping story lines. Or good bedroom scenes (which would be a small compensation for all the other lacks).

The first two stories were a complete waste of time and effort to try to relate to anything the characters said, did, or lived through. And I wanted to deck the heroines.
The third encounter also raised my boxing instinct. Thanks to the heroine, again, but mostly because there was so much potential, but so little space to develop anything. And the mediocre ending without heads or tails also didn’t help.

The final story, the hero of which was at the center of the main arc, was the strongest of the bunch, but still severely lacking in execution, plot and interest-holding. The h/h were a little more developed, the hero had more depth than his three buddies combined, and the heroine was a true breath of fresh air from her three nerves-grating predecessors.

If the prologue and epilogue were any indications, the fourth story â€" lengthened and strengthened â€" would’ve been quite a good read, instead we got a great prologue promising us a bang of a story, mediocre four novellas that could’ve been good PWP if the sex scenes were better, and an epilogue that was too short and certainly didn’t accomplish anything.
