Under Fire

Title: Under Fire
Author: Catherine Mann
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
Genre:Contemporary Romance
Pages: 271
On Sale: May 1, 2012




Synopsis:
After Rachel Flores' relationship with Major Liam McCabe ends abruptly, she refocuses her energy onto her career. She plans to forget Liam and live a peaceful life supplying therapy dogs for recovering military vets--until a patient reveals a traitorous plot within the epicenter of military intelligence.

My Take:

Sad Face :(  This book expired before I had the opportunity to read it.  I was super excited and had a grand plan to read the first 2 books (Cover Me and Hot Zone) in the series before starting Under Fire (Elite Force #3).  I've read some good reviews and plan to come back to this series and give the whole thing a proper review..maybe these will be the next thing I load for my long gym workouts where I need to focus on something other than how many minutes of torture remain.

Disclosure:
I received this book from Sourcebooks Casablana via NetGalley for reading and reviewing

One Hot Cowboy Wedding



Title: One Hot Cowboy Wedding
Author: Carolyn Brown
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
Genre: Romance (With Cowboys!)
Pages: 348 paperback - I read digital
On Sale: April 3, 2012


Synopsis:
A marriage made in Vegas...
Hunky cowboy Ace Riley wasn't planning on settling down, but his family had other plans for him...The only way to save his hide, and his playboy lifestyle, is to discreetly marry his best friend, Jasmine King.
Can't possibily last...
Fiesty city–girl Jasmine as just helping out her friend—that is, until their first kiss stirs up a whole mess of trouble, and suddenly discretion is thrown to the wind.
One hot cowboy, one riled up woman...
And they'll be married for a year, like it or not!

My Take:
An enjoyable book with a fun story line and likeable main characters.  As the 4th book in Carolyn Browns Spikes & Spurs Series I felt like a a respectable job was done allowing the book to stand on it's own; but found some of the back story filler to be more than I personally would have liked, the opportunity to go back and read the first 3 seems lost.  Regardless I would recommend this book for those who enjoy the genre and don't see any reason why I won't be seeking out the next book in the series.  My advice would be to start from the beginning... I think there was probably good stuff there too.
