"perfect blend of sexual tension and suspense"

Marly has returned home to attend a funeral, but she has another agenda in mind. She has loved Cade ever since he and his two brothers took her in as their "cousin" when she was twelve. That love has matured into something out of control, and now she's intent on seducing him, even after hearing rumors of his strong sexual desires.

Cade has felt more than "brotherly" to Marly for years, but his honor and pride have kept him from her. Cade has a tortured past, one he shares with his brothers, and is sure that it, along with his sexual practices, will surely scare Marly away . . . or will they? When a threat from Marly's past begins to stalk, can Cade protect her? Marly has a choice to make. Can she give in to Cade's needs and desires? Or is she willing to leave forever?

MARLY'S CHOICE was a thrilling read! Lora Leigh created a perfect blend of sexual tension and suspense, along with a pull on your heartstrings to keep readers turning page after page with anticipation. Marly's determination and Cade's hesitation made for an explosive coming together. I highly recommend this book, and can't wait for the sequel, SARAH'S SEDUCTION.
