Carolina Man (Dare Island #3)
Steady Matt, the son who stayed
Ambitious Meg, the daughter who never looked back
And warrior Luke, the Marine who never expected to return.
A heartwarming new novel in New York Times bestselling author Virginia Kantra’s beloved series about family ties, second chances, and the power of love…
Marine Luke Fletcher is determined to do his duty—first to his country and now to his ten-year-old daughter, the unexpected legacy of a high school girlfriend. But his homecoming to Dare Island in North Carolina's Outer Banks challenges his plans for the future and forces him to face everything that's missing in his life. He wasn't prepared to lose his heart to this child he never knew. Or to fall hard for coolly reserved small town lawyer Kate Dolan.
Former military brat Kate knows Marines can make lousy fathers...and she's got the scars to prove it. Giving her heart to a man who's bent on leaving seems one sure way to have it broken.
Now, no matter what it takes, Luke must prove to Kate and to his daughter that Semper Fi is more than a motto—and to himself that there’s more than one way to be a hero.
Love this series. Luke was such a great character and I loved reading his relationship with Taylor grow. He was so great with her ~ especially towards the end. I also really liked Kate and Luke together. I'm so happy how this one ended. Another great story in this series and I cannot wait for more.
I won a copy of this book in a Firstreads drawing, but will not let that affect my review.The theme of this book is the changes in our selves and in our view of the world wrought by love.This does not suffer the doldrums that other third-in-a-trilogy books sometimes have. We are introduced to our hero in a way that is unlike the first two books, and where actions show his character.Even though our heroine was introduced earlier in the trilogy, she was such an insignificant character at the time
This was an absolute sigh-worthy book. I fell in love with the cover before I even read the blurb and chose it for a read. Then when I cracked open the book and began reading...I fell even harder. You put a military man, a crusading heroine, a cute girl who needs her daddy surrounded by a great family in a small town and I will adore your story. Bestill my romance-loving heart!Okay, now that my emotional theatrics are over, here's my summary. Luke Fletcher is a career marine like his father. He

Another good one; still hooked. It is interesting that the author introduces the main characters in the next book into the current one. There are many books that have a lot more depth and, perhaps a more complex story, but there is something relaxing and comfortable about a well written romance. These books certainly qualify. On to #4. I am going to be sad when I finish the last book in the series.
Another good read in this ongoing series. Great characters and storyline.
