He's everything she fears… and
everything she wants
Mercenary by name and by
nature, Carson is a Lakota Sioux who stays to himself and never keeps women
around long enough for anything emotional to develop. But working with his
friend Cash Grier on a complex murder investigation provides Carson with
another kind of fun—shocking Cash's sweet-but-traditional secretary, Carlie
Blair, with tales of his latest conquests.
Then Carlie lands in deep
trouble. She saw something she shouldn't have, and now the face of a criminal
is stored permanently in her photographic memory…and Carlie is the key piece of
evidence that could implicate a popular politician in the murder case.
Her only protection is
Carson—the man she once despised. But when she learns that Carson is more than
just a tough guy, Carlie realizes she's endangered herself further. Because now
her only chance to live means losing her heart to the most dangerous kind of
man….
Full of the snark, strong yet vulnerable
heroine and an aloof hero with just a touch of misunderstandings thrown in,
this was another good story from Diana Palmer. I really liked Carlie, she’s a
bit of a geek and a bit naïve because of the way those around her keep her in the
dark. She obviously loves Carson, but she believes that the best way to love him
is to let him be free.
Carson is wildly attracted to
Carlie, but after the disaster in his past, he isn’t sure he is right for her.
Or what she needs, even while he can’t help but love her.
There are some crazy things
happening and some over the top plots, but I really loved this storyline. It
fit, and as always this was a comfort read to me because it gave that feeling
of a time when the world was slower and simpler.
I definitely recommend this
story.
I received a copy for the purpose of a review. I was not compensated for my review.
I don't think I've read her yet. I know I was planning on it. *hangs head*
