Review Quotes:
"Bestseller Brockmann's Reluctant Heroes series opener delivers everything that romantic suspense fans will expect...The lengthy story starts slowly but moves powerfully once it gets in gear, and the cast of sensitive alpha men and strong, imperfect women is well developed. Interpersonal tension gets far more focus than action, creating a refreshingly light feel."
