Under Siege
Lieutenant
Colonel Zach Dawson is dedicated to his job. He
has been in the Air Force for sixteen years and is the commander of a Charleston Air Force
Base C-17 squadron. His wife walked out on
him and their two children so he has been trying to hold his family together as well as
take care of his squadron of pilots. Not only
does he have to contend with taking care of his airmen but he also has a rebellious
teenage daughter. Eight months before,
Lieutenant Lance Sinclair crashed into a mountain leaving his pregnant wife, Julie. Zach is investigating the accident.
Julie
is captivated by her new baby boy and determined to give him a normal life even though he
has Down’s syndrome. She has had a rocky
marriage to Lance but is now trying to be independent and raise her son to the best of her
ability. Zach comes around quite often fixing
this and that, trying to help out. He is
definitely attracted to the beautiful widow and although she is attracted to him, she is
not ready for any kind of a commitment but Zach has other ideas.
The
Wingmen Warriors is an excellent series by author, Catherine Mann. The dialog in UNDER SIEGE is very good and the
story moves along at an excellent pace. A lot
of romantic tension makes an intriguing read as the air sizzles between the hero and
heroine. Bronco shows up from COVER UP, and
it is great to see what he is up to as he adds to the current story. Shelby, Zach’s teen daughter, is suffering
from her mother’s desertion leaving Zach trying to figure out how best to cope with
her anger. As Julie and Zach help each
other with their family problems, the friendship gradually turns to love. Very good book, Ms. Mann -- I will be waiting for
the next one in this series.
