Book Description

Series: Hqn Romance | Publication Date: July 1, 2006

A brand-new, heart-pounding tale featuring Catherine Mann's heroic Special Ops unit

Air Force captain Bobby "Postal" Ruznick wouldn't consider working a job that didn't occasionally scare him to death. But nothing gets under his skin like sexy profiler Dr. Grace Marie Lanier. Not that Dr. Uptight Lanier could tolerate his risk-taking ways when they'd struck sparks off one another on assignment a year ago. Now it looks as though the two of them are stuck with each other once again.

Being paired with Bobby's Special Ops crew sends Grace Marie's calm, collected existence into a tailspin. Not only does she have an assignment of utmost importance to complete . . . but she's got little recourse except to turn for help to the one man who threatens her orderly world the most -- Bobby.

Now with one week to stabilize a situation that could destroy the lives of countless others, Bobby and Grace Marie are about to learn that to save the world, they'll have to risk their hearts.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Once again special ops air force captain Bobby "Postal" Ruznick finds himself on a mission with air force psychologist-profiler Dr. Grace Marie Lanier in the Central American country of Cantou. Lanier, the unwilling "parent" to her bipolar genius father, is scared of relationships, and Bobby has clawed his way up from a crack-addicted mother and ADHD. While they are resolving their issues and exploring their feelings for each other, Lanier's physicist father is attracted to Felicia, a suspected nuclear weapons spy. In the midst of these budding relationships, a dirty bomb nearly ends life as we know it, but Bobby's crew and Grace's father save the day. Compared to Mann's other Wingman Warrior titles, there's a little too much going on in this story, but her sympathetic characterization of Bobby, a unique ADHD protagonist, is typically superb. Hopefully this is the start of a military romance series in the tradition of Suzanne Brockmann. Mary K. Chelton

Catherine Mann does it again! She brings all of her flyboy characters to life with warm memories and exciting scenes!

Finally, I found out what makes Bobby "Postal" Ruznick tick and how he got that cool call sign. Not to mention meeting the woman who brings him to his knees. Bobby and Grace Marie chemistry sizzle throughout the pages. Not only does their story rock, so does the second storyline with Matt and Felicia.

Ms. Mann brings to front some of today's issues on mental health and does a great job showing how people struggle, and achieve these hurdles on a daily basis.

Can't wait to see more from her Wingman Warrior series, especially Rodeo's story.

Thanks for the great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Catherine Mann is back with another heart-stopper!, July 5, 2006

This review is from: Blaze Of Glory (Hqn Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

If you think "Postal" doesn't sound like the name of a bigger than life hero, you haven't picked up Catherine Mann's latest military romantic thriller BLAZE OF GLORY. Wow, what a page-turner and the characters are as endearing as the action is exciting. Grace and Bobby's relationship spins, dives and shoots to the heavens in a spectacular romance woven amidst a daring mission. Mann peels back the human psyche in poignant layers, exposing emotional challenges in a way that will touch the soul of every reader. With so many interesting secondary characters, I can't wait to see whose book is next. Any hints?

5.0 out of 5 stars Blaze of Glory is another keeper, July 23, 2006

By 

Judy "book reader" (Cincinnati, ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blaze Of Glory (Hqn Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Blaze of Glory by Catherine Mann soars with the love and valor of our men and women in uniform.

Profiler Dr. Grace Marie Lanier could not get used to Captain Bobby "Postal" Ruznicks over the top personality so she ended their relationship months ago. Now her genius father nuclear scientist Matthias Lanier is in deep trouble in war torn Candou. Grace Marie turns to Bobby and his special ops team for help.

Captain Bobby Ruznick is still harboring feelings for Gracie. He is shocked to see that she is an integral part of his current mission. Bobby has always felt he wasn't the right man for Gracie but something about her keeps drawing him back into her world.

Even though this mission is full of danger and intrigue it brings Bobby and Gracie closer. They both realize there is more to each other then what appears on the surface.

Catherine Mann really delivers the high voltage war story along with a searing romance. The lives and loves of Bobby's crew will touch your heart. The secondary romance regarding Gracie's dad is tender and moving.

Blaze of Glory is another keeper from Catherine Mann. Looking forward to the next story in this series.
