Need You for Always (Heroes of St. Helena, #2)
Marina Adair
Emerson “Emi” Blake dropped out of culinary school to care for her ailing mother, but she has bigger dreams than running St. Helena’s most popular pita cart. First on the menu: upgrade to a gourmet food truck. A new part-time job as a personal chef will definitely provide the funds, but it also forces her into close contact with her one and only one-night stand, Dax Baudouin, who’s daring her to try a second taste. Former army Ranger Dax has a clear mission: come home, get healed, and get gone. Yet Emi’s tough-girl exterior and hidden soft side are even harder to resist than her mouthwatering baklava. After years of battles, he knows better than to try and rescue anyone—not that she’ll let him get close enough to try. Truth is, Dax is starting to think that Emi’s the one person who can save him…if he can just persuade her to give him another shot.

0I looked back at my review of the first book in this series to see why I only gave it 3 stars. It's been more than a year since I read that book and couldn't remember. I have to say, now that it's been over a year it didn't bother me that we didn't see as much of the rest of the town. Although it's likely we saw more of Dax's brothers in this book than in Jonah's book. Anyway, I really liked this book.
Man, Emi is one tough cookie. She often brought tears to my eyes. There were some similarities to her circumstances in some of my upbringing. I could feel her emotions in the pit of my stomach...and understand them.
And Dax. We know he has stuff to work through and we know he's a great guy under that "bad boy" image so my heart just broke for him. But I loved his teasing, flirting and persistence with Emi.
I really enjoy reading Marina Adair's stories and I'm looking forward to the next time I can get my hands on one.
