![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think this might be the shortest review ever, but I really don't have anything else to say! The writing flows nicely, and the pacing is brisk. Readers who enjoy Dee Henderson might also enjoy this book. I have to admit I'm a little tired of the "tough man protecting vulnerable woman from great danger" storyline.not that there isn't room for more great stories to be told along these lines, but I do like a fresh angle. My Review: I enjoy romantic suspense as one of my favorite kind of comfort reads and this one is well written and easy to read. Because terrorists aren’t known for their patience-or their mercy. And with every second that ticks by, Coop knows that the odds of saving the only woman who has ever managed to breach the walls around his heart are dropping. As Coop and his partner do their best to keep her safe, David Callahan continues his work-triggering an abduction that puts his daughter’s life at risk. Estranged from her diplomat father, who is involved in a sensitive hostage situation in the Middle East, she refuses to be intimidated by a related terrorist threat back in the States…until a chilling warning convinces her that the danger is very real-and escalating. Unfortunately, Monica Callahan isn’t making it easy. About the Book: For FBI Hostage Rescue Team member Evan Cooper and his partner, dignitary protection duty should have been a piece of cake. ![]()
