Romance Books Reviews & Treats

Amnesiac former-DIA agent can't remember the bombing event that injured her in Africa & has been suffering from panic attacks & nightmares for a year. So when she saw the Marine she's been dreaming about on TV & realized he was with her the day of the bombing, she flies over to see him. Hero, who's been in love with heroine since he 1st saw her 2 yrs ago & has been grieving her b/c he thought she died during the Embassy bombing, is overwhelmed upon seeing her again. He makes sure that he doesn't lose her again & helps her piece together her forgotten past & find the bombing culprit especially after the recent 2 attempts on her life.

This book is an improvement to Jennings' 1st book, Pursuit, especially the love scenes. A great romance-suspense with tight writing. I LOVE the hero in this one. He's not particularly tall or handsome but he exudes confidence & strength. He is obsessed with the heroine but gives her the space & support to figure things out herself. I liked that he didn't wallow in his miserable childhood & more than survived it with his can-do attitude. I LOVE that hero stayed celibate for 1 yr after he & heroine shared a kiss before the Embassy bombing & even when he thought heroine was dead. He loved her so much that none of the willing women he encountered failed to turn him on. Heroine was wonderful too. I liked her intelligence & courage even when she was mentally & physically shaken. The plot was exciting & pacing good.

Highly recommended.
