He’s all kinds of man. But is he a family man?

It’s good to be home! But civilian life isn’t easy for Mark Delaney. The former surf champ copes by carving California waves and working solo as the handyman for his family’s beachfront hotel. Until Laurel Prescott, pretty owner of the new B and B—and widowed mother of three—asks for his help. One small task leads to another and another, and suddenly Mark is knee-deep in kids, responsibility...and a love he never dreamed possible.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling author Lynne Marshall used to worry she had a serious problem with daydreaming, then she discovered she was supposed to write those stories!

She's a proud mother and grandmother who loves babies, dogs, books, music, and traveling.

Review:

Number two in Marshall's Delaneys of Sandpiper Beach series is a touching and bittersweet tale about loss and the courage to love again. Soldier, Handyman, Family Man stars a classy B&B owner and the middle Delaney son as he tries to find his footing after Afghanistan. The imperfect couple are genuine, their love scenes are spicy and sweet, and their rocky road to happiness is worth every bump in the road. The resort community backdrop is pitch perfect, and the author's take on teen angst and the returning vet's PTSD, plus other family dynamics, is spot-on.Two years after losing her husband to cancer, Laurel Prescott buys a B&B in a small California beach town. She and her three grieving kids need a new start. What Laurel doesn't know about running the business she can learn ... and it doesn't hurt that the hunky younger hotel owner next door has offered his help. Ex-army vet Mark Delaney likes doing maintenance for his family's Sandpiper Beach hotel because physical labor keeps his PTSD at bay. So when the beautiful B&B owner next door needs a handyman he's happy to help. He just doesn't expect to fall hard and fast for her and her family.
