Book Review: Handle with Care by Marie Harte

Author Marie Harte strikes again with “Handle with Care,” the third book in her wildly successful “Veteran Movers” series,

The series is about a trio of military veterans who banded together to put up a moving company to create jobs for veterans like them. With their great service and a heroic act that landed them on the six o’clock news and social media channels made “Veteran Movers” a go-to local move company in the Seattle area.

Books 1 and 2 follow brothers Reid and Cash Griffith, respectively. Book 3 – “Handle with Care” is Evan Griffith’s story, who was Reid and Cash’s cousin, but Evan was more of a brother than a cousin due to their closeness.

An accountant by trade, Evan is the money man in Veterans Movers. Because Evan found his accounting job too stressful, he decided to join his cousins in the company which he was 1/3 owner. He just wanted a slower pace, but then he met Kenzie Sykes in one of the moves the company did. As it turned out, Kenzie turned Evan’s life upside down and he found himself busier than ever.

“Handle with Care” is a romantic comedy at its core. The love affair between Evan and Kenzie has so many laugh out loud funny moments thanks to the supporting cast of characters that include Reid, Cash and the employees of Veteran Movers.

Yet, “Handle with Care” also tugs at your heartstrings. Evan, like many Americans today is taking care of an aging parent while Kenzie is the “parent” to a much younger brother.

Between their jobs and their families, it was hard for Evan and Kenzie to find time to get together. But, somehow, they did. Then something unthinkable touched their lives and their fledgling love falters.

An enjoyable read that will touch your heart. You will fall in love with Evan the same way you did with Reid and Cash Griffith. There will be times when you would want to shake Kenzie and tell her to “stop and smell the roses.” Even then, she will be one of your favorite characters.

Handle with Care” is Rated M for Mature due to some adult situations and sexual content.

Evan Griffith has had a hell of a day… And that was before he met the stunning, sexy woman having a meltdown.

Evan Griffith has had many careers in his life. But who knew working for his family’s moving company would hold just as much action as his stint in the Marine Corps? On an unforgettable job, Evan finds himself taken by a teenage conman and confronted by a woman wielding a knife—and promptly falls head over heels for her.

Kenzie Sykes is doing her best to raise her little brother and keep him out of jail—all while dealing with her own broken heart that just hasn’t healed. She doesn’t have time for romance. He’s not asking… Until he is, and she finds herself saying yes.
