Author Claire Marti
Claire Marti started writing stories as soon as she was old enough to pick up pencil and paper. After graduating from the University of Virginia with a BA in English Literature, Claire was sidetracked by other careers, including practicing law, selling software for legal publishers, and managing a non-profit animal rescue for a Hollywood actress. Her award winning debut novel, Second Chance in Laguna, was a Finalist for Best Contemporary Romance in the prestigious Stiletto Contest, won best unpublished contemporary romance in the Heart of the Molly and third place in the Maggie.
Check out a teaser here: Second Chance in Laguna. Book two in the Finding Forever in Laguna series, At Last in Laguna, and Book three, Sunset in Laguna, are available everywhere. Sunset in Laguna was a Golden Quill finalist.
A smoking hot stuntman. A fiery horse breeder. And a 220-acre ranch too small for both of them.
She’s avoided Hollywood for years…
When an arrogant Hollywood stuntman struts into Samantha McNeill’s breeding barn, sparks fly. She doesn’t care how mouthwateringly gorgeous he is, not when he assumes Pacific Vista Ranch’s resident horse breeding manager must be a man. Not to mention his job threatens to pull her family back into the paparazzi filled world they escaped from over a decade ago.
Now it’s at her door––wearing faded jeans and a wicked grin.
Holt Ericsson can tell the beautiful redhead hates him on sight and the feeling is becoming mutual. But he will call in a favor and convince Sam’s legendary director father that Pacific Vista Ranch is the only suitable place left in California to film an epic Western. Holt’s invested all his savings in the movie and his entire career is riding on it. No way will he allow one irritating, sexy woman to stand in his way.
Sam intends to fight him at every turn…if only her heart didn’t race when they’re together. Holt does his best to steer clear of her…except all he wants to do is hold her close. The sizzling attraction between them is either going to burn up the sheets or burn down the ranch…

Nobody Else But You
Pacific Vista Ranch
Book One
By Claire Marti
Review by HeidiLynn's BookReviews
First, I want to thank Claire Marti for providing me with
this book so I may bring you this review.
Claire Marti’s Nobody Else But You is by far her best book
she has written! This is just book one in the Pacific Vista Ranch Series. One
that I hope to continue to read and review for. If book 1 was this good I am
excited to see what else she has in store for us!
Nobody Else But You’s cover is beautiful and eye catching.
It represents the book perfectly. Kudos to the graphic designer who designed
this for Claire.
Claire would like to thank Kay Bennett for the inspiration, the
encouragement and the Sarvanana.
I could tell Claire has grown as a writer from the last
series that I read from her. You could tell that she wrote about topics that
were extremely close to her heart. It showed in her writing. She did her
research and educated her readers on rehabbing and breeding horses. I found it
to be extremely interesting.
You could tell in her writing style that these characters
were special to her too. The way she wrote each of their stories she seemed
passionate about them. A little bit of her was in Dylan and in Sam I could tell.
Even though they were total opposites.
To me this had a little of everything I love in a book! I
love books that are placed in ranches or horse farms! I am a huge fan anything Hollywood
so this aspect of the story I loved! Each character in this book was different
and unique. Each character’s past story effected today’s story. Many of their
stories made me want to hug them for what they went through. Of course every
story has to have a little bit of romance!
I was a huge fan of Princess Diana fan so I loved the
reference to her in the book. It was totally appropriate too!
One element that is majorly strong in this book is family!
Through tragedy family sticks together.
