Product Description

Review
"Monroe's wonderfully written, multi-read romance features characters you ache for as though their emotions were your own."

Product Description
As a writer, Lise Barton is used to coming up with wild scenarios for her characters, but the one that's playing out for her right now is no fiction - it's frighteningly real. Someone is stalking her, someone who knows where she lives and what she does. Someone who has even threatened her family - her brother, his wife, and their precious baby girl. Lise isn't about to let someone hurt them, so she packs up and leaves Texas for the anonymity of Seattle. And then the threats start again...Joshua Watt's mission is simple: Go to Seattle and bring Lise home for Thanksgiving or he'll never hear the end of it from his sister. It's not like "Aunt Lise" to stay away from their adorable niece, and Joshua's pretty sure he's the reason for it. He's spent months trying to forget the taste of her lips, the feel of her soft hair in his fingers. Yeah, okay, he wants her - badly - but family comes first. But the minute he sees the fear in Lise's eyes, his survival instincts kick in. The former Army Ranger isn't about to let some creep terrorize an innocent woman - not on his watch. He's going to do what it takes to protect Lise and try to keep his personal feelings out of it. Because if there's one thing he's learned, it's that sex and work don't mix. Not ever. So far...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, a fab start to the series!, 26 Dec 2006
By Noosh "Nu" (Sheffield) - See all my reviews
This is the first of 3 books about 3 mercenaries and there soon to be partners. This is the story of Lise and Joshua. Lise is a writer who is being stalked so much so that she has left her home town and moved to the city. Thanks giving has come around and once again Lise has refused to go and Joshua (who is Lise's brother in law) thinks it is because of him and there brief kiss the last time they got together, so he goes to see her. When he rings her door bell she answers it with fire poker in hand and Joshua quickly gets to the heart of the problem and decides there and then that he will take care of it.

After that the story carries on looking at capturing the stalker but also looking at the quite explosive relationship that builds between Lise and Josh. The writing is brilliant, creating totally vibrant characters that you really want to get together at the end.

This is a Fab read (I took this and the other 3 on holiday and read them within 2 days....they are Fab!) you won't be able to put it down. Totally engrossing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good storyline - Great love story, 7 May 2007
By Sian Louise (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews
  
I really enjoyed this book - the stalker storyline was very good, and I really liked the characters Lise and Joshua. The love story was just as good as the rest of the storyline. I would definately recommend reading this.

This was my first Lucy Monroe book and I will definately buy Willing and And Able next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ok, so the cover looks like a Kays catalogue shot, but give it a chance..., 14 April 2009
By Angels Bright (Manchester) - See all my reviews
This was one of the first books of this genre that I ever read - which is somewhat miraculous as the front cover does genuinely look like they couldn't afford one and ripped out the menswear pages from a Kays catalogue! At the time I was a Romance novel naif, I was one of those people who dissed romance novels as intellectual drivel - I know, I know! Those poor unenlightened souls! Without wishing to sound too evangelical this book kind of showed me the light. Books didn't have to be tense, intellectually draining and a challenge - you could actually just enjoy them and let them take you along for the ride. That's exactly what this book does...
Fairly simple story of an ex Special Forces (really isn't it amazing there are any SEALS left in the american military seeing as they all seem to be busy romancing their best friend's sister or such like!?!)type who ends up using his incredibly handy skills to protect this author chick who's being stalked, in the process falling madly in love but endlessly denying it only to live happily ever after...

So on finishing this book, I was forced to examine my own life. I mean it seems as though every family should have their own handy ex SEAL who helpfully can crack a hi-spec code in under 4 minutes or kill your average stalker with his bare hands. I feel completely distraught that I appear to be missing my allocated ex SEAL - I wonder where he's gone? Perhaps he is the one sole SEAL still serving in the military...

Enough sarcasm - this book is actually good. Lucy Monroe is a talented story-teller - she takes you along with the story without losing you or getting overcomplicated. She keeps the characterisations simple and she obviously likes her men very, very Alpha! But unlike other books that "Alpha-ness" is tempered by a really likeable persona. The story is pacy, the side characters well introduced but nicely peripheral and the romance suitably intense without being seedy.

If you prefer more kink than commitment with your alpha male then these books aren't for you, but if deep down you want that ultra tough protector type to fall (and fall hard!) then this is a perfect book. Settle down with a cup of hot chocolate, read and enjoy.
