Bad Girls Don't Marry Marines by Codi Gary Review

Valerie Willis has done it all: tattoos, one-night stands, even strip poker. And now she can add getting a messy public divorce to that list. Back in her hometown of Rock Canyon, Val just wants to bury her head and wait for the scandal to pass. But when she suddenly finds herself at a singles' weekend face-to-face with former flame Justin Silverton, hiding from her heart—and the sexy Marine—won't be that simple.

Is just too good to let go… 

It's been ten years since Justin kissed Val, but he still remembers the way they just seemed to … fit. Since then he's served his country and helped his father keep their ranch intact, but he's never forgotten Val or her wild ways. So when a twist of fate brings him the chance to chase her across state lines and spend a weekend winning her heart, Justin's all in. Because when he sees something he wants, he fights for it. And he's ready to fight for the right to call this bad girl his one and only.

This is a great story...but there is a lack of marines (other than the main character), so if you are looking for a military romance you will be disappointed. Anyway back to the story, Val is one of the infamous Willis girls in town. A town where horrible, stuck up women apparently can verbally attack you in the grocery store and no one else stand up for you. Val reputation was destroyed by her ex-husband and her father capitalizes on it. Jason doesn't care about Val's reputation, he just cares about Val and he goes above and beyond to protect her and makes her smile.

I love the character Val, but my heart just breaks for her. It is so sad that this woman was mentally abused not only by her ex but by her own Father! The character Jason is fantastic! Funny, loving, caring and has a nice ass. The awesome plot twist at the end made me cry!

Overall its great book, It earns 8 out of 10 from me.
