For five years Gabriel West has wanted
a second chance with his estranged wife, Tyler Laine.
After he is once again nearly killed on a SAS mission and he is feeling
burned out, he retires and moves into Tyler’s apartment building in the hopes of
becoming a part of her life once again. When
Tyler’s life is suddenly threatened by an unknown stalker, Tyler is thankful for
West’s reappearance in her life but doesn’t understand it. For years she has tried to get over him, dreamt
about him and missed him, but doesn’t want history to repeat itself and lose him all
over again. With West protecting her day and
night, Tyler is forced to re-examine her feelings for him and can’t fight her attraction to him.
Will Tyler
let West back into her life and her heart? Or will it be too late for them if West
can’t protect Tyler from the person who wants her dead?
This newest
release from Fiona Brand is an exciting, fast-paced and steamy read that fans can add to
their keeper shelves with a smile on their face. The
undeniable desire and magic between Gabriel West and Tyler Laine sizzles and enchants
readers with a love that will never die. Ms.
Brand provides suspense at its best and readers are left guessing as to who the bad guy is
and praying that he will be caught in time. Gabriel
is an alpha male who could protect me anytime! He
is an ultimate tough guy who has a heart of gold and is irresistible.
Ms.
Brand’s compelling words such as “deceptively sleepy amber eyes and exotic
cheekbones, a full, beautiful mouth....a dark, masculine mane hung loose about his
shoulders, accentuating the impression of danger....the man was beautiful in the
mesmerizing way of a fallen angel.....the fact that his name was Gabriel was pure
chance....” to explain the man. More
compelling words such as “he wanted home....an abrupt hunger to be with the woman
he’d walked out on, but never succeeded in forgetting, ate at him, sharp and
deep” to describe his love and need for his woman.
These words
by Ms. Brand hook readers within the first chapter and they are enthralled to continue on
and they tell us so much about the man that Gabriel West is and what is in his heart. It is this writing that keeps readers coming back for more from this author time and again. Fans will also be pleased to visit with
some characters from Ms. Brands past releases. And
while I wish for more of her books more frequently throughout the year, Fiona Brand is
STILL ONE to read when it comes to romantic
suspense.
