"Whoa! What a hero!"

As much as I enjoyed, Striker Koslowski's story in HER MILLIONAIRE MARINE, I believe Ben's story is just a little bit better. Of course those Koslowski brothers are tough Marines but when they have to be they can be as gentle as a kitten.

In this story, Ben Koslowski has made a promise to his buddy who was killed by friendly fire to take care of his sister Ellie and his niece Amy. Ben takes this to heart because he believes it's entirely his fault that John was killed. So when he gets back to the states, he promptly goes looking for Ellie so he can make good on his promise.

Ellie can't believe this big gorgeous Marine was a friend of her brother's and now wants to take control of her life. He even offers her money since he's just inherited part of his grandfather's estate worth millions. She's highly insulted but she can't believe how she's attracted to Ben and how good he is with her asthmatic five year old daughter, Amy. Ben even makes up bedtime stories about a princess and a dragon for her.

Finally, Ben offers a marriage of convenience. Since Ellie has just about hit rock bottom with everything from Amy's severe asthma attack, her car dying and losing her job she takes him up on it in a moment of weakness. Can she go through with just a marriage of convenience?

I have completely fallen in love with the whole huge Koslowski family. Cathie Linz has created the most wonderful down to earth parents and the greatest brothers even if they don't get along all the time. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two stories and eagerly look forward to more of the brothers' stories!
