Nanook Warriors #2
The Marksman
Cameron Sommers has always worked just beyond the borders of right and wrong. A military sniper, she retired to work on adventure tours, mostly in the Arctic looking for polar bears. When an accidental shooting left her shaken, she went back to the military. This time she works as a consultant for a European Forces General, and he-s sent her to the Arctic. Where she has come face-to-face with the biggest, most dangerous, and the sexiest bears she has ever known.
Kjell Tivet thinks the new sharpshooter is going to endanger the mission and get herself killed. How one curvy, sexy woman who is wicked good with a rifle can help them track down the Russian corporations dumping in the Arctic, is beyond him. But Kjell knows the mission, and he trusts his commanding officer to know what he-s doing. All he needs to do is keep one hot sharp shooter safe and make sure he-s not left wounded by her lethal charm.

About the author
Mary Winter
125 books90 followersMary commutes between her dream home near the Mark Twain national forest in Missouri and her current residence in Iowa. She lives with a menagerie of animals including an opinionated horse and a cat who was a dog in past life. When not writing spicy tales of erotic romance, she enjoys writing science fiction and fantasy, spending time with her horse, and enjoying the outdoors. Lucky for her, her partner (hero) shares these same passions, and usually both of them can be found in their respective dens writing.
And it’s not far from the truth. Mary began writing in high school after she discovered Silhouette Desire romance novels and realized that she wanted to be the one to write stories that carried readers away from their oh-so-boring lives. She has a deep appreciation and love of the natural, the spirtual, and the metaphysical, which has led to her running Jupiter Gardens and writing for new age and pagan magazines. She is attuned to Reiki II and reads tarot cards.
Right now her household includes six cats, ranging in age from less than six months (Tenzin, former feral kitten) to seventeen years (Tigger, diabetic kitty), her horse, two parrots, a finch flight, a geriatric parakeet flight, and her partner, the hero of her own personal romance story.
Her favorite television shows are Torchwood, Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr. Who (new), Battlestar Galactica (new), Babylon 5, Farscape, and Sex in the City. Her favorite movies are Spaceballs, The Cutting Edge, Serenity, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, the LoTR trilogy, and probably a few others she’s forgetting. Her musical tastes range from Enya, Clannad, David Arkenstone, David & Steve Gordon, Scott McDonald, and AfroCelt Sound System to Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and others.

Disclaimer: The author is a near and dear friend of mine, and I did receive this book as a gift. With that being said, however, this is my honest opinion of the book, itself.
Admittedly, erotica is not usually my cup of tea. My main pet peeve with the genre (based on bits I've read in the past) is that the books often exist for nothing more than the sex. What I liked most about this book is that while there were quite a few sex scenes, which were well written, there was a strong storyline as well.
I liked Cam. She was a strong character, confident in the job she had been sent to do, but she did have a soft side. She had internal demons to work through and the reader was clearly able to follow along with her thought processes.
Then, there was Kjell... Yum! I've always had a thing for men in uniform. (Hubby is retired Army.)
Added to that was the fact that he was a shifter. Not a vampire or werewolf. Those, to my way of thinking have been done to death by this point. No, he shifts into a polar bear. That was the premise that really drew me to this book in the first place, and Mary certainly did not disappoint. Not once, did I find myself skeptical of the world she built, even going so far as reading the majority of it in a single day because I couldn't put it down.
I would definitely recommend this book to people who enjoy erotica, service members, shifters.

I don't know if it was the mood I was in or what, but I just got really bored reading this one. I have others in this series that I'm still planning on reading, so maybe I'll eventually end up re-reading this one and changing my mind.
