The Whole Package (Veteran Movers, 1)

When Reid's brother and one of their employees get caught on camera stopping a burglary, it gives their local moving company, Vets on the Go!, more attention and a lot more clients. After seeing Vets on the Go! on television, Naomi knows working with them is just the boost her marketing and public relations company needs to open the door to another veteran whose business she's trying to snag. What she didn’t count on is the instant attraction she has with Reid, but she's determined not to mix business with pleasure. She’s been there, done that, and has the former boss/ex-boyfriend to show for it.The early copy I read of this book is my first by this author and it was such a fun read! With plenty of heat and lots of heart, there is also no shortage of laughs. Reid and Naomi are wonderful characters, both strong and opinionated but each with enough baggage to make them human and endearing. Of course there's the usual blah, blah, blah – “We're just friends,” and “We're not serious,” – lies the characters tell themselves which a reader never believes but makes for delightful entertainment. And let me just say, at the critical point after the conflict, the way Naomi gets Reid's undivided attention? Epic. Pure genius. And one of the funniest/sexiest scenes in the book.I loved all these characters and adored the strong and funny ex-military movers who kept me laughing throughout the book. Reality TV junkies, anyone? And Reid's brother, Cash, comes across as a crass, muscled meathead, but that boy has hidden depths, and I can’t wait to read his story. If you like hot heroes with heart and feisty, intelligent heroines, you’ll love Reid and Naomi's story!*I reviewed this book freely and voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide a review and receiving no compensation of any kind from any source for this review.

This book was nice but oddly both had too much going and not enough. Like this random stealing subplot that also contained a bigger heist of a friend’s safe? Unless the safe comes up in later books, it just was not needed! And then conversely, the stakes between Reid and Naomi seemed low key. Reid doubts Naomi way too many times, especially before she gives him cause even accounting for his mommy issues.Several lines were also dropped ... who was Reid and Cash’s mom’s emergency contact? Why have an emergency contact who then never comes up, doesn’t show up at the hospital or funeral? The “big guy” who looks like Cash ... Cash doesn’t get suspicious? Meh, I’ll check out at least the next book.

A steamy, slow burning romance. I enjoyed meeting the brothers who started Vets on the Go a moving company with veteran employees. The brothers are as different as night and day but have a close bond. The romance between Reid and Naomi was fun to watch. They are drawn together from the start but both are committed to their jobs and employees and don't want to mix business with pleasure. But oops! They do! Fun book! Looking forward to Cash's story.

Lots of heart, likeable characters, hot romance and plenty of humour and I like the use of Vets because in a gentle way it does draw attention to the difficulties faced by the returned service personnel. Nothing new but everything fun.

Another really heartwarming read by this author. Her books just make my heart happy, full of family, love and friendship

Marie Harte can tell a story. She has a great sense of people and you are pulled in and taken along. The Whole Package has some familiar people and places, but a whole new set of friends. Her sense of humor is wicked and you laugh out loud. Cannot wait for the next one!

This book was truly a wonderful find that I bought on a whim. The characters were wonderful and the way they fit together made me laugh. I can't wait to get the rest of the series.

Well written, enjoyed it so much i went on to the next in the series.

It's a case of 'no questions asked' when it comes to buying and reading a new release from Marie Harte - I'll admit that Marie is, without doubt, one of my favourite authors.The Whole Package is book one in the new Movin' On (Veteran Movers) series and it was a really good read.My only wee thing was that there was a lot going on in this first book. We are introduced to all of the veteran moving crew as well as following Reid and Naomi's story but, in saying that, this is something that Ms Harte has done with other series and in the long run it works as we've kinda got a handle from the outset on the characters still to get their own book.Reid is a great guy but he takes everything on himself and is so focused on the new business and looking out for his brother that he's not got much of a life of his own.Naomi is wholly focused on her own up and coming business and having been bitten in the past when it came to relationships, she's not living much of a life either.The attraction between this pair was almost instant although both were at first hesitant to act on any feelings they had. When they eventually give in it's not supposed to be more than fun and definitely not long term.......I really enjoyed The Whole Package and am definitely looking forward to Smooth Moves which is the second book in the series and Cash's story!!I'm giving this book 4.5*

Good story but had more potential. Really liked the male lead.
