Basic Training by Julie Miller

Tess Bartlett hasn’t had a man in her life for quite a while. So when Marine Captain, Travis McCormick returns to his parent’s home for an extended leave, she works up her courage and asks him to teach her to attract men. Travis is reluctant at first, but Tess manages to convince him quickly and soon Tess is progressing rapidly through her lessons. But Travis senses an old enemy nearly, and he uses all his skills to keep Tess safe, while at the same time helping Tess with her homework ;) .

I really liked this book. It had a nice balance between tension and plot. Julie’s story was also very good, as nothing felt rushed and contrived. If you like stories with involving the military, you’ll like this one too. I know I did.
