Synopsis (Goodreads):

Eli Strong got out of the military and all he wanted to do was get better. He never expected that the officer he was living with would have a daughter who tested his honor.

Maggie Drummond has been moved around more times than she can count, and starting at a new high school sucks. But when a wounded Marine comes to live with her and her dad, suddenly Maggie figures out what home is.

She’s forbidden fruit, and he’s trying to not to taste… But desire can only be denied for so long. Circumstances keep pulling them back together, and something truly unforeseen happens. Overnight, Eli becomes a guardian and Maggie his ward.

Will Eli keep his hands off Maggie? Will Maggie like it if he doesn’t? Will the two of them break the law because it feels so good? Only one way to find out!

Warning: This book will make you ache in the best way possible! It’s so sweet it’s disgusting, and yet we just can’t stop. It’s a coming-of-age story that’s just what the author ordered. So eat up and enjoy!

Thoughts on Her Touch: Oh, this one was a sweet one. Sure, both Eli and Maggie knew they'd found The One the moment they laid eyes on each other (more or less), but THE SWEET. It was everywhere and it was GLORIOUS.

Well, except for when Eli walked out of Maggie's life because he didn't trust himself to remain a gentleman when she was underage. That was sweet in one sense, but it kinda blew in another. Because, you know, of the not telling Maggie why he was doing it.

BUT IT'S FINE. EVERYTHING'S FINE HERE. HOW ARE YOU?

I do need to mention that the thing with the teacher spilling the beans about a little family secret was uncool. I'm holding a grudge against her now. Forever. Sorry, I don't make the rules, that's just the way it works.

Other than that, though, THE SWEET! Bonus: we get a little more in this world with a certain other couple who have a few things to work through. Yes!
