Griffin Jude Payne is the last U.S. Marine. He's determined to take down the U.N. and send their twisted dream of a global utopia back to hell where it belongs. After assassinating the Prime Minister, he is captured and exiled off-planet. His enemy's widow boards the same ship, presenting Griffin with a unique opportunity--Prudence is his ticket back to Earth. With her as his hostage, he intends to gather the exiled residents of Asteria, commandeer a ship, and head back to reclaim Earth for all people.
Prudence has no intention of returning to Earth now that she's escaped. She wants Griffin to join her in making a new life together on Asteria. As they struggle to survive on the hostile planet, he's blindsided by her tenacious bravery and sweet sensuality until he's no longer sure if she's his hostage, or if he's hers.

The Last Marine eBook Cara Crescent Reviews
I loved this story! It mixes futuristic, sci-fi, and romance together. The descriptions of every portion of the story were spot on. I could easily picture everything as I read. Every character was well-fleshed out and the secondary ones added their own bit to the story whether it was extra suspense or a touch of humor. Instead of having Griff’s PTSD be magically healed by a woman’s love, his way toward accepting the fact that he needed help was ushered along because of it. Each interaction between Griff and Pru was intensely hot and their chemistry was practically explosive. I would definitely recommend this story and could easily see myself reading it again.

Blending of sci-fi, dystopian, and military romance is guaranteed to grab my attention and, in this case, provide a rousing-good story. This was a new to me author and I will definitely be on the hunt to see if she wrote more like this one.
Griffith Jude Payne is the last US Marine. Literally. The UN has taken over rule of the planet and disbanded countries and their militaries in the effort to achieve world peace and prosperity. Unfortunately, few know the lengths to which the UN led by the new Prime Minister and his family would go to to bring it about. Griff does. He watched the UN destroy his whole base and before that he saw the destruction and deportation of every person who wasn't perfect or disagreed with the take overs. Thousands were sent to the harsh planet Asteria six months away by space ship. Griffin's brother was one of them all because he was a little different. Griffin executes a daring plan to save his brother and make up for his past mistakes.
Prudence watched the Marine shoot her husband and thought here was a hero only to see that he didn't finish the job and left things worse than before. Now she is faced with the sadistic Randolf who wants her for her alien power to give the gift of persuasion to her mate. She is determined to escape and sets in motion her plans to slip away to the colony world of Asteria and become a pioneer far from those who would abuse and exploit her. Randolf will never look for her there.
Fate puts Griffin and Prudence on the same ship and has them crash land together. He mistrusts her, the wife of his enemy, and she mistrusts him, a brute. But a harsh planet has a way of making people work together if they want to survive. Griff must survive, find his brother, and then go back to earth and finish the job he started to liberate people from the regime that allows no freedom. Somewhere along the way, things get complicated when the two begin to understand and care for each other.
This story was an exciting blend of suspense, action, survival, and passion. The author created an interesting background and colorful alien setting. I enjoyed the characters and their opposite way of thinking. It was an enemies to lovers type of situation as they don't like or trust each other at first. The dual trouble between surviving the harsh planet and avoiding the UN and Randolf was exciting, but the internal struggles of Griff getting past his PTSD and survivor's guilt and Pru healing from the abuse she had undergone made it deeper than I expected. I appreciated this aspect of the layers for this story.
The romance is a slow build on the relationship and somewhat slow on the attraction as Griffin had to be careful with Prudence because she had been abused. He doesn't know this at first, but reads the situation well anyway. They came together one scene after another. Things got scorching hot when Griffin unleashed the passionate woman inside Pru when she believed herself to be frigid and ugly after her dead husband and his brother got through messing with her head. Griffin really was her hero in more ways than one.
All in all, this was a great sci-fi romance with a good blend of action and passion to leave me satisfied. I would definitely recommend it.
I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
Earth has gone utopia under Alfred Parnell. His ability to persuade others has resulted in the world governments, and their militaries, uniting under him into the United Nations. Now all military are the Blue Helmets, all people living happy, clean, and free.
But Griffin Jude Payne knows this is all a lie. As a U.S. Marine, the last Marine, he has been involved in removing undesirables from the Earth, putting them in rockets to the planet of Asteria. The old, the sick, those who don’t agree with the Parnell government all go to the ultimate prison off-world.
He knows how ruthless Parnell is, he’s not blinded by the man’s persuasion, especially not after the U.N. fragged the base where Griffin lived and worked. Now he knows there’s only one way to stop what is happening—kill Alfred Parnell.
But that didn’t stop it. Parnell’s death just got him caught and convicted and sent to Asteria.
In the ship with him, in the escape pod when the ship caught fire, is Prudence Angelica Parnell, the alien wife of the late Alfred Parnell. When they land on Asteria, she takes off across the hostile desert to find a way to start a new life and Griffin follows her to help her. His aim is to get her settled, find his brother, and go back to Earth to end the false utopia that her husband had built up.
But Angel is the hitch in that plan, everything about her screams sensuality and Griffin’s body keeps telling him that she’s “the one”. Try as both might, they are drawn to each other and when they do find Griffin’s brother, the choice of what to do looks like it may just have to change.
The Last Marine is a very good combination of science fiction and romance. Griffin is the usual big, strong, determined Marine, Angel is the soft yet tough woman who is destined to turn his heart. While the love story is pretty much typical romance fair, the strength of the characters carries the storyline well and makes you want to root for the couple, even if Griffin’s plan to go back and start the war would pull them apart.
There is one caution she goes into detail about some of the sick things Parnell and his brother do to gain and keep control of Earth. It’s not pretty and it can be disturbing. The fact that Cara Cresent doesn’t shy away from those things gives the reader the reasons to dislike the utopia.
The Last Marine is a lovely read.

Fun scifi adventure. Recommend to my romance and scifi reader friends - very steamy!
I loved this story and the well developed society, characters, and plot. The characters were flawed, genuine people that had me rooting for them from the beginning. The fast paced action made it hard to put the book down. More stories like this one please!
An interesting premise'. If we don't agree with the ruler where and what will we do. Our marine took an extreme line and ended up being shipped off to die. Luck and good will helped him out of deep trouble and love entered his life.
Well written, fast paced and a good start to a new series. Will read more.
