Smooth Moves

There are moments within a Marie Harte novel where it becomes hard to tell who the alpha is. Smooth Moves has a number of those moments. Cash and Jordan butt heads at every turn. It's an uphill battle to romance, but the climb is full of seductive foreplay. There's always a new twist to their story, but the culmination is as explosive as their courtship is tempting.

Smooth Moves is the second book in the Veteran Movers series and while it can be read standalone I think you will enjoy this book much more if you really get to know Cash and Jordan in the first book, The Whole Package. Cash and Jordan are quite the pair. Between them is a ton of sass, snark, and sizzling chemistry that seems to throw Cash off his game. This is the story of how their relationship moves from enemies to friends to lovers and it's one wild and sexy ride that was so much fun to read. I'd definitely recommend this book to everyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed book 1, The Whole Package, that introduced the Veteran Movers. A group of men and women, all former veterans, that after serving their country were at a loss on how to return to civilian life. Thanks to former Marine Reid Griffin, who started the company to help his brother Cash, they are now employed and thriving. This time the story belongs to former Marine Cash Griffin and Jordan Fleming, former Army MP. Cash always seems to be getting into trouble or looking for a fight. He suffered a great deal as a child and later was hurt by a woman . He feels not worthy of love or good enough for someone like Jordan. Jordan , is still unsure what her future holds, and in the meantime , has taken in her troubled teenage brother . This story was at times funny, at others heartbreaking . A reminder that the experiences as a child and how the adults that were suppose to love one failed to do so, will affect the individual when he becomes an adult. But as heartbreaking as the story was at times, it was also heartwarming. Jordan was perfect for Cash. The plot was engaging, and the complex characters likable. The secondary characters were also well developed. Though not necessary, I would highly recommend reading book 1 in the series to get the most enjoyment of the story. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
