Product Description
As the middle child, Pepper Prescott's rebellious nature helped her survive when her parents disappeared and she and her siblings were sent to different foster homes around the country. Now an independent young woman, Pepper finds herself on the run after witnessing a shooting. Fearing for her life, Pepper flees to the only place she ever considered home and is shocked to find her old lover, Dan Graham, living on the remote mountain ranch. A battle-hardened ex-Special Forces soldier, Dan no longer strikes Pepper as a man she can trust with her secrets, her life, and her love. But as long-simmering desires flare into a deep, sensual passion, Pepper realizes the only way she can reclaim her life is to ally herself with the enigmatic warrior who's willing to help fight for her future by solving the mysteries of her past -- and making her his wife today.
Jackie Porter hoped she didn't embarrass herself by falling to her knees before her idol and kissing her hem. Read the first page

However, this novel has additional problems. The storyline: involving rogue military bigwigs, terrorists, conspiracies, a former teen rebel heroine, and a rekindled romance, simply doesn't quite gel. This isn't so much a 'Grosse Point Blank' as it is an episode of NCIS: at times well-written, with a solid storyline, but at others unconvincing.
As series novels go, this is one of the weaker efforts from an enjoyable author. That said, some of the roots of the paranormal 'Wilder' series can be traced back to this book - which should make it of definite 'keeper' interest for fans.
In this sequel, Dodd turns up the heat in some very passionate and exciting sensual laden encounters. Brisk writing, page turning action, and hot and steamy sex had all the makings of this being a stellar read, but for the fact that I was totally aggravated with our heroine and hero - especially Pepper. After all, after having this amazingly sensual connection with a he-man type gorgeous soldier, she couldn't TRUST him to tell the truth, to share her burdens that someone (an Army General) was trying to kill her? And her reasons for running away from him in the first place - didn't cut it. Granted he had his secrets too, but she was just too prickly to warm up to. I did like the action, the covert gadgets and thrill of terrorists attack. Unfortunately, even the hero turned into too much of a cave-man with the `you belong to me - we're mated' statement! Ugh, I cringe! But sensibilities aside, when an author can arouse readers emotions with a characters' distasteful personality - then you do have to appreciate the writing talent and Ms. Dodd is certainly that, a writer with enormous talent. Bottom line - I enjoyed the read, I just didn't warm up to nor embrace the main characters. ----- Marilyn Rondeau, Official Reviewer for www.historicalromancewriters.com ----
