Book Blurb:

No Holds Barred, In Love or War...

A decorated hero, pararescueman Liam McCabe lives to serve. Six months ago, her and Rachel Flores met in the horrific aftermath of an earthquake in the Bahamas. They were tempted by an explosive attraction, but then they parted ways. Still, Liam has thought about Rachel every day—and night—since.

Now, after ignoring all his phone calls for six month, Rachel has turned up on base with a wild story about a high–ranking military traitor. She claims no one but Liam can help her—and she won't trust anyone else.

Book Review:

This was my first Catherine Mann book-and boy, am I glad I picked it up! I love the Romantic Suspense/Military genre. It holds a special place in my heart.

That being said, this book is a great one to sink your teeth into-it has all that I love about the genre in it: Great romance, action-oriented plot, and strong secondary characters.

My only complaint is that I thought the secondary character, Brandon,  was a much better hero than Liam in some respects. Brandon is suffering from PTSD and had such a great story of his own. I would have loved to have seen a full book just about him.  I devoured the scenes between Brandon and Cat and thought the sex between them was more intense than Rachel and Liam. But I'm truly complaining--because it was hot and intense...

But I will go back and read where the two meet in Hot Zone...and add the rest of this great series to my TBR pile.

Book synopsis:

Liam McCabe meets Rachel Flores in the Bahamas when they are on the same Rescue Team after a devastating earthquake. The two never connect--instead going their separate ways until the get together once again in Under Fire.

Rachel works with dogs that help PTSD patients recover and function in their daily life. Rachel works with Brandon after a traumatic shooting, telling her about his suspicions involving several higher ups in the military.  A secret that puts Rachel and Brandon on the run for their lives.

Liam McCabe, twice married and now twice divorced, has no problems falling in love. He just can't seem to keep the women he marries. But he cannot deny the attraction that he feels for Rachel. And when he finds her hiding in his Jeep--along with her dog, Disco--he finds himself drawn to this fierce woman who he hasn't stopped thinking about since leaving her in the Bahamas.  

Unable to trust the police, Rachel has nowhere to turn to...except for the one man she left six months ago--Liam McCabe.  

And now both are on the run, trying to figure out who is trying to kill her.
