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!

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?

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.

I really enjoyed the characters and the story. This story kept me
interested from the beginning to end.

Dr. Grace Lanier is in the odd position of having to call on an ex-beau to aid in the recovery of her father and a covert agent who has skipped communication with the handlers. Bobby "Postal" Ruznik can't forget the way she broke his heart while traveling on a bus in Bagdad, just before he piloted their bus to safety after a landmine tried to take them out. While never having consummated their relationship, Grace and Bobby are very hot for each other, and being together in the jungle has them both willing. Dr. Matthias Lanier is a genius currently working on weapons in the jungle of Cantou. He has become catnip to the sexy new recruit Felicia, who may be more than she appears. Diagnosed as bi-polar, if Matt forgets to take his meds, the whole project could be in jeopardy. Grace has always maintained a caretaker role for her father; now is no different.

When Grace's team rolls in and recovers her father, she's in shock, as he and Felicia are in a very compromising position. They are forced to take on another duo that happened to walk in on them. Back at the camp, sparks continue to fly between Grace and Bobby, as well as the other couples, while Grace and Bobby share a little of their childhood with each other and Grace discovers there is more to her flyboy than what meets the eye. But danger is still lurking in the jungle...

I didn't realize that this was one in a series of books until I got well into the storyline. Mann uses well written dialogue and lots of chemistry to tell the story of two people who had to grow up really fast and are only now learning to love. She does a great job in telling their histories, and I also liked the bantering between the other "wingmen" in Bobby's unit. With two other romances tossed in, something's gotta give, and unfortunately, readers are shortchanged on further insight into the primary couple.

Police profiler Lieutenant Dr. Grace Marie Lanier asks by name for Air Force Captain Bobby "Postal" Ruznick to help her on her current imperative assignment in spite of the two having a heated history together. However, though she knows how volatile he can be, the prim Grace feels he is the best and she needs the best on this quest to save her father in the Asiatic jungle surrounding the Cantou Nuclear retreat.

Bobby feels the same way about Grace as she does about him. Though he has not forgotten how she dumped him nine months ago on a bus in Baghdad, he knows they are opposites who can set an inferno with their looks of desire, but cannot live together without also wanting to kill one another. Still he appreciates and admires her tucking away her ego and asking for him that shows she trusts him with her life and that of her father.

The lead couple makes for a terrific romantic suspense that never slows down once Prim and Postal see one another for the time since Iraq though both deny it to themselves even as they salivate. The action-packed story line centers on the rescue mission as much as the witty verbal battles from the onset when Grace insists she accompany Bobby and his team while he demands she stay home safe. Fans will wonder if they survive the mission will they survive the rumble in the jungle intimacy.

I would have like to have seen grace and bobby's story expanded and less of the other characters.
