A retired SEAL is about to face his toughest assignment yet. As a nanny…
Fixer. Bodyguard. Advocate. Brann Calder is expected to play all these roles and more as a member of Torus Intercession, a security firm guaranteed to right what’s wrong. In the military, catastrophe was his specialty. Five months out of the service, Brann is still finding his way, so a new assignment might be just what he needs. Unless it includes two things sure to make a seasoned, battle-trained veteran nervous: life in a small town, and playing caretaker to two little girls.
Emery Dodd is drowning in the responsibility of single fatherhood. He’s picked up the pieces after losing his wife and is ready to move on now, hopeful that his engagement to a local patriarch’s daughter will not only enrich his community but will grant his daughters some stability too.
The only thing standing in Emery’s way is that he can’t he seem to keep his eyes—and hands—off the former soldier he’s hired to watch his girls until the wedding.
Emery’s future is riding on his upcoming nuptials, but being with Brann makes him and his family feel whole again. Too bad there’s no way for them to be together.
Or is there?

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
No Quick Fix is the first book in Mary Calmes' Torus Intercession series, and I'm hooked!
Wow! Words cannot describe how wonderful Brann is with Emery's kids. He's straight-forward, ballsy, and helpful, as he supports them through their loss, pain, and grief. I adore the way he deals with them.
In general, I love Brann. He's an ex-Seal who's sent to care for Brann's kids. Never does he expect to fall for the kids, let alone the men himself.
Brann and Emery are amazing together. Their love is intense and all-consuming, making for a great story. Of course, they have a lot to deal with if they're going to be together. Emery's engaged to someone else, and the town is relying on that arranged marriage to happen.
I love both kids and how they're written. They're good kids and I enjoyed all of their scenes immensely.
The tone is nice and easy, setting the reader up for an enjoyable read from the start. The men are great, in addition to the town, kids, family and friends. I love them all.
No Quick Fix is a fantastic tale about finding a family. I loved every single moment of this story. It's an impressive mix of romance, fun, and danger. Having not read a lot of Mary Calmes' books, I am now interested into checking out her older works. And, as for this series, I cannot wait for the next.
