Reviews for IN THE AIR TONIGHT
“WOW. This five-star read just became one of my favorite reads of 2024!! With its scintillating storyline and cast of memorable small-town characters, this bingeable edge-of-your-seat read captivated me from the very start.” —@juliereads_alot
“This was such a riveting story! The writing flowed so well between all the characters and dual timelines. I loved getting a viewpoint from every character and seeing how this difficult situation affected each and every one of them. I could really feel the emotions of the characters throughout and was brought to tears by the end. This is such a heavy topic but written so well I could not put it down. And the romantic storyline—swoon! I highly recommend this one for fans of romantic suspense!” —5 stars, Jennifer Horton on Goodreads
The Gansett Island Series
“This series never gets old for me. I guess I’d attribute that to good writing and wonderful characters, and Temptation After Dark is no exception. This book gives us more into the lives and loves of the delightful James brothers, and is another enjoyable visit to the magical island of Gansett. I love that although each book centers around one couple, previous characters play a big part, with their stories continuing as well.” –5 stars for TEMPTATION AFTER DARK by Di Obrien on Goodreads
“Temptation After Dark is swoonworthy and hilarious. I wasn’t sure I would get into these characters because he’s a player and she’s a diva. Can you say ego? But – never judge a book by it’s cover (unless you’re looking at the great cover of Temptation!) Cooper is the best little brother anyone could ever have. Aside from being hot, he’s bright, thoughtful and caring, and truly has a heart of gold. As for Gigi, underneath her façade lies a sensitive, insecure woman, afraid to be too vulnerable and getting hurt.” —5 stars for TEMPTATION AFTER DARK from Mona Abramesco on Goodreads

“Sam and Nick have been centre stage through 20 plus books, each one as thrilling as the last one. How on earth does this author do it?

All that is down to the author and this author is the best at what she does.” —Five star review of STATE OF THE UNION from Gloria Wenmen on Goodreads

Love isn’t always easy. But true love is worth gold.” —5 stars for HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE from Kristen Spate on Goodreads

I predict this will be the year’s winner for best books.” —5 stars for COME TOGETHER from Desiree Holt on Goodreads

This couple has 10 children and one of my favorite things here is we get vignettes of each of them about how they feel about what is happening to their father.

This is pure BOOK HEAVEN!!”—review of VALOROUS from Aestas Book Blog
“This is an erotic romance but I loved that the story did not revolve around the sex. The heart of the story was them and the sex complimented the story, but it was not the center of it. Every scene drove the story forward and was (in some way) character building. THIS is how a strong erotic romance should be!” and “This book just had everything I love it in. It had amazing writing, a gripping story, characters I fell in love with and respected, and a romance that made my heart melt.”—5 star review of VIRTUOUS from Aestas Book Blog

One Year Home
“Simply put: One Year Home made my heart happy. Through all of the ups and downs, angst and darkness, unexpected love and insurmountable odds, this powerful novel pulled at my heartstrings and left me breathless.” A Top Pick from Sara at Harlequin Junkie
“After I read Marie Force’s phenomenal Five Years Gone, I couldn’t wait to read One Year Home, and it is all I hoped and wanted it to be — a truly memorable, poignant and beautiful romance. I don’t want to say anything else about it, in case you haven’t read Five Years Gone, and you WANT to read Five Years Gone. You technically don’t need to read it in order to love One Year Home, but it makes the experience so much more meaningful if you do. These two books have a permanent spot on my keeper shelf and will be read again and again for years to come.” —Mary @ Frolic Media
“A fantastic read to me is when I finish and close the book and days later, I’m still involved in the story. With One Year Home (as well as Five Years Gone), I’m still deeply affected by the feelings from the journey Marie Force took me on. I’m not an observer of the story, I’m part of it. I’m right there with the characters, feeling all the deep feels. It’s a moving, emotional, and character driven read.” —5 stars from Comfy Chair Books

Marie, “allows her readers to experience all the joys, struggles, sadness, anger, etc. that her characters do. Her books are a must add to your libraries.” —Romancebookworm’s Reviews five star review of THE WRECK
“It’s a rare treat that you get three gorgeous romances in one story but Marie Force has achieved that with Georgia On My Mind. Ms. Force has seamlessly woven these stories into one magical novel. Each couple is drastically different with their own issues and smoking hot chemistry. This story has a bit of suspense, plenty of humor and lots of romance. GEORGIA ON MY MIND is a keeper!” —Joyfully Reviewed.
“I read this book in less than a twenty-four hour period. I can’t remember the last time a story held me as mesmerized as LOVE AT FIRST FLIGHT; I couldn’t get enough and wanted more… It’s a great story that knits together friendship and new-found love around bitter and sweet emotions, fear and sacrifice, and heartache and joy. Ms. Force pens so much more than a simple romance, her voice has that “certain something” which captivates the reader from first word to the last. She creates a story and characters the reader can embrace and cheer on whole-heartedly with a smile and a lump in the throat.” —Once Upon A Romance

“Marie’s debut novel is wonderful! I was captured on the first page, and her characters are bigger than life. The emotional tug-of-war between two people who loved deeply but lost, takes you to the core in matters of the heart. Marie does a marvelous job leading you to the edge, and back again. So buckle up for a fun ride!” LINE OF SCRIMMAGE reviews by Magical Musings.
