Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 1999

MEN of mystery

Three men with secret identities and hidden agendas—sworn to loyalty and tamed by love.

Her life depended on a stranger…

On the morning of her wedding, Tyler Stewart looked out the wrong window and witnessed a murder. Running for her life, she opened Lucas Hawkins's door—and found her true heart's desire.

But Lucas—his identity destroyed by the government he'd served—was a man with nothing. Yet something about his cool blue eyes and unreadably handsome face told Tyler that his secrets were as haunting as her own—and infinitely more dangerous….

When both their secrets eventually caught up with them, only Lucas's skills could keep them alive. But would the truth of who and what he was drive Tyler away?

5.0 out of 5 stars Wilson At Her Best, April 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bride's Protector (Men Of Mystery) (Harlequin Intrigue, No. 509) (Paperback)

With "The Bride's Protector," Gayle Wilson delivers a great tale that should satisfy romance and mainstream readers alike. A renegade CIA operative and a witness to murder are on the run from impossible odds, and readers are lucky enough to be taken along for the ride. I was swept up in Hawk and Tyler's story from page one. It's a beautifully constructed novel, as Wilson manages to juggle a complex story, two strong characters, and a lot of suspense and passion with surprising ease. By the end, I was amazed by just how much ground she was able to cover in 250 pages. The suspense tale is frighteningly realistic enough to please anyone who loves espionage-type stories and contains both a compelling dilemma and enough twists to keep readers guessing. Meanwhile, romance readers won't be disappointed by a love story that is both passionate and ultimately poignant (LOVED the last scene in the house in Covington).

"The Bride's Protector" strikes the perfect balance between story, character, romance and suspense. If this is any indication of the next two books in her "Men of Mystery" series, we're in for a treat. This ranks right up with "Only a Whisper" and "Whisper My Love" as Wilson's top efforts-as well as easily being the best Intrigue so far this year. A must-read.

4.0 out of 5 stars She hit all her marks, January 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bride's Protector (Men Of Mystery) (Harlequin Intrigue, No. 509) (Paperback)

I enjoyed the book. Ms. Wilson made sure there were no holes in her plot, I appreciate that respect for the reader. The hero and heroine came just shy of touching my heart though. It's a pity because after the intro, I really wanted to know them better. But instead I followed their mystery to their happily ever after without being convinced that these two deserved to (and would) beat the odds.

This review is from: Bride's Protector (Men Of Mystery) (Harlequin Intrigue, No. 509) (Paperback)

The Bride's Protector is a roller coaster ride of danger and passion. Tyler Stewart is running for her life and Lucas Hawkins is the man to save her. This is an exciting and fast read with two wonderfully flawed characters, and passion that can sizzle the pages. An absolute must read!
