Just the Thing is another good book by Marie Harte. Gavin Donnigan is suffering with PTSD after losing several of his friends in a bombing while he was recuperating from a gunshot wound. Zoe York is one of his clients at the gym where he works as a trainer and conducts classes in self-defense for women. Gavin has pursued Zoe for a while, hoping for a date, but Zoe has shown no interest. Zoe decides to take a chance on Gavin, and the two hit it off. Both have experienced loss - Zoe losing her twin sister a few months ago, but Gavin's issues make keep the two of them apart.
This was a good story, light except for Gavin's issues, but it has enough emotional depth to keep the reader interested. Overall a good read. I'm hoping for Hope's story next. (

Over the years, I have become a fan of Ms. Harte's contemporary romances. Sure her stories have a tendency to get steamy but behind all the foreplay lie some deeply meaningful messages. In the case of Gavin and Zoe, theirs is a quest for hope. Gavin lost his fighting for a world that he feels like a stranger in. Nightmares and guilt are his constant companions in a world filled with loneliness and despair. For Zoe, her anguish lies in losing a piece of soul. The death of her twin has left her searching for who she is and what comes next in her life. The loneliness is overpowering and the pain cuts deep for both, but the oddest thing happens. Out of the darkness, they find strength in each other. Just The Thing has the power to break your heart, but between the author and her awesome lead characters it also has the will to heal it. (

Gavin has just got out of the Marine Corps and he's not the same man he was before joined, his experiences and loss of friends in the corps have left him a troubled man.
Teaching self-defence at the local gym has given him a cause he enjoys and its put him into contact with a feisty beauty called Zoe. She also, like Gaven, is struggling to come to terms with a loss....the loss of her twin sister.
And it seems the distraction of self-defence, and a smoking hot teacher is a great tonic and for Gavin, he's hot for her pink yoga pants...and other things.
As what starts as just some fun and a release from their hurt souls, soon becomes something much more which surprise them both.
This was a good book. It was great see how the characters grew and changed as the story progressed. I highly recommend it! (

Received an advanced copy for my fair review from author... Oh Gavin he broke my heart... This book had it all. We were happy to be reunited again with the Donnigan's, they were at it again with the Prank Wars, it was good to read about Ava and Landon and that they were still in love and going strong. But this was about Gavin, we knew that he was suffering from PTSD, and man to read everything he went thru, and how he tried to tough it out, it puts you to think about our military, and knowing others are suffering. I was happy he found a love interest in Zoe, another smart beautiful woman, instead of the "barbie dolls" that so call work out at the gym. She ended fitting in right in with the family, and since she also went thru hardship, she could understand what he was feeling. It was an emotional book.. Can't wait for the next one.... (
