Tank and Bea had a wonderful summer romance then one day he was gone just ghosted her. For 13 weeks she didn’t know what happened and in Thanksgiving Day he showed up at her door dressed in his uniform. He wanted to win her back. And boy did he have his work cut out for him. I loved how the town came together to help out as well as her parents telling her she’s an adult now and needs to take responsibility for her choices.
I like that there were the newlywed real life issues especially when it comes to military life. And that she learned her lesson as well.
Military books, especially Marines, are near and dear to my heart.

Stolen September by M.C. Cerny. I love how easy it was to read this book and enjoy it. I enjoyed the author’s attention to detail, and she did a great job keeping me entertained throughout the story. I enjoyed it and recommend it to others. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Bea and Tank have undeniable chemistry but you can’t blame her for not running straight into his arms when he reappears in her life. He left without a note, goodbye, or explanation. As the story goes, you understand why that was but I was happy that she didn’t immediately forgive him. There is some funny banter between them and sexy times. This is short, funny, and sweet.

3 1/2 Cute Stars!
This was a sweet Thanksgiving second chance romance of sorts. Tank and Bea’s secret summer romance ended abruptly when she joined the marines and ghosted her for thirteen long weeks. I really thought there was going to be a good reason for Tank’s cold behavior considering he was actually a nice guy.
But no, he really was going to leave her for his new career in the military. He didn’t expect to miss her so much, and he certainly didn’t expect to realize that he wanted her with him forever.
When he showed up on her doorstep on Thanksgiving day to win her back, I was happy with her response to him. The rest of the book had him doing whatever he could to win back her trust. Kudos to the author for having him stick it out with her and being a man of his word.
I liked the reality check of a life that was filled with newlywed challenges and I especially liked the way her parents were supportive of their marriage by forcing her to take responsibility for her relationship with Tank.
An easy to read, feel good holiday romance!

This is the story of two people – Tank and Bea who met over the summer and made a huge connection. When Tank disappears Bea is devastated.
When he returns their relationship goes on warp speed.
This is an easy to read story. The character are easy to like. There really isn’t much character development. There is steam and an HEA. These two need to learn to live with each other.
I was given this book for an honest voluntary review
Bea is eagerly waiting for today’s Thanksgiving dinner, especially her mom’s caramel apple pie and cheesecake bites, when she goes to answer the front door. When the door is open, there stands the guy who broke her heart in his dress blues and wanting to talk to her. To say that Bea is shocked is an understatement, after all he left town 3 months ago without saying a word to her about his enlistment. Tank has spent his entire basic training unable to get his short 6 week romance with Bea off his mind. He only has 8 days to organize a wedding so he can return to his base with Bea as his wife. Is there any way Tank can pull this off? More importantly, can a 6 week whirlwind romance turn into a successful marriage when they are both so young?
M.C. Cerny has gifted us with a young love novella to enjoy.

This is a very sweet love story of a man who enlists and leaves his girl behind. Problem is that he didn’t bother to tell her that he was leaving. She has been missing him and hating him for months and suddenly he turns up again. He has realized his mistake, but can she forgive him? Can he remind her how good it was?

I enjoyed this book. Bea (Beatrice) and Tank (Henry) spent six weeks together in bliss. Then Tank left without a goodbye. Thirteen weeks of sadness and being heartbroken later, Tank shows up at Bea’s house with a plan to get her back. Tank has a limited amount of time before he has to leave again, but he needs Bea. He’s a Marine and isn’t going to give up until he gets what he needs.
Bea and Tank have a very sweet love story. They are both young and so they have to learn together how to be a married couple while dealing with deployment’s. There is some angst, but not a lot.
I recommend reading this book.

Short, funny, steamy, realistic – Tank loves Bea, but can they survive on only love?
Beatrice has just spent the last 13 weeks in He!! b/c her boyfriend, Henry Edward Andrews aka Tank left her. Now he stands on her doorstep all gorgeous in his military blues and expects her to run into his arms. Nuh uh. Not going to happen! But Bea can’t deny this niggling feeling that she’s secretly over-the-moon that he’s back. Tank is thoroughly rejected and dejected after Bea has her say. (Funny though.) What happens soon, begins the realistic portion of the story. I can truly believe that this would be the circumstance if Bea was all “alone.”
This couples’ biggest problem is lack of communication. It happened when he went away and again on base when she’s young and has one friend, no car and a one-bedroom house to clean. Days get really long. The irony is that while she’s thinking of what she could do if only…Tank is trying to fix things for her but life gets in the way.
Loved this story: short, steamy but very believable. The banter between Bea and Tank is so funny. Ms. Cerny gives Bea some witty comebacks. I personally loved how much Tank showed his love for Bea. There is a bit of narrative where he recounts the ten ways he loves her like the Twelve Days of Christmas. Clever! Oh, and then there is the scene in the kitchen with everyone but Bea. Anyway, I highly recommend this book if anything I’ve said tweaks your interest. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Booksprout.
Tank and Bea fall in love too quickly for their own good and have to figure out how to move on with their lives when separated. When they reunite after boot camp, they have to adjust to their new lives which continue to be on fast forward. With luck and determination, this sweet romance will sweep you along for the ride.

Set an afternoon aside to read this book. It’s a quick novella length book, but a super cute enjoyable read. Once you start you’ll want to read uninterrupted until you’re finished. If you have military ties in some form or another this book definitely worth your time. My only complaint was that I wish it was longer.
As a former military wife I totally relate to this book. Heck with the exception of the first couple of chapters, this was my life. I totally felt what Bea felt. It’s like the author knew that part of my life. ; )
I recieved this book free and as an arc in exchange for an honest review.
This is such a good book! I loved how Bea wasn’t sure about Tank’s true feelings. Tank realized his mistake, and wants to try to rekindle their relationship. Will she forgive him and let them try again?
