Catherine Mann (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Intimate Moments | Publication Date: September 1, 2002

Nothing frightened Grayson "Cutter" Clark. Yet the sight of Lori Rutledge had the Air Force flight surgeon almost dropping to his knees. After a year without her, Grayson was now her partner. Suddenly, rescuing a group of orphans from a war-torn country seemed easy compared to keeping his feelings for Lori locked safely away.

He was the only man she'd ever wanted, but Lori dared not forget Grayson's need for emotional distance. She'd accepted they would never share a family...until fate delivered a heart-tugging orphan into their care. Now Lori had reason to keep him beside her. But could she settle for anything less than Grayson's ultimate surrender?

4.0 out of 5 stars An intense military romance, October 26, 2002

By

This review is from: Grayson's Surrender (Wingman Warriors) (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Paperback)

Air Force pilot and flight surgeon Grayson "Cutter" Clark fears nothing. Even the trip to war-torn Sentavo to rescue war orphans doesn't bother him. Yet when Lori Rutledge joins his crew as the NGO operative, she nearly brings him down. Now he must rescue the children, and avoid becoming emotionally attached to the woman he left nearly a year ago.

The fates intercede, as Grayson gets another girl in his life, a young orphan named Magda. She quickly becomes a unwitting cupid between the two, and slowly Lori and Grayson begin to realize that the spark they felt over a year ago is still strong. Is this flame of passion strong enough to make their love eternal, or will the blaze die in a glorious sensual moment?

GRAYSON'S SURRENDER offers a sweet yet steamy romance, with a hero to love and cherish, and a woman brave enough to face a war zone and a child who can't speak English. The minor characters also enhance the overall plot, from the talkative and often fun-loving Bronco, to Grayson's parents who have troubles of their own.

Military romance fans will enjoy the pure intensity of the details, including a sudden decompression. The emotions flowing between the two and the pain of loss and injury strikes like a lightning bolt. It leaves one begging for another blast, a second helping of pleasure and a simple delight. Catherine Mann has begun her career in grand style, with all elements firing off without a hitch, so expect big things from her in future novels. -- Jo from Author, Author!

This review is from: Grayson's Surrender (Wingman Warriors) (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Paperback)

I had the good fortune of hearing Catherine Mann speak at a workshop two years ago. She was dynamic, enthusiastic, generous, and dedicated. In Grayson's Surrender, it is clear those qualities transfer to her writing.

Grayson's Surrender is a fabulous book that is so full of heart it is easy to forget you are not reading about real events or flesh-and-blood people. The plot is exciting, thrusting the reader into a normally closed world (military). The characters are so identifiable and compelling.

Major Grayson Clark is a hero and a hunk. Of course, being married to a real-life AF pilot makes me biased. But there's something more here than a babe-magnet in a flight suit and Ray-bans. With his sense of decency and nobility, Grayson is a modern day knight.

I look forward to many more books about the Air Force world written by Catherine Mann - because, in the words of my favorite pilot - "Chicks dig flightsuits."

This review is from: Grayson's Surrender (Wingman Warriors) (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Paperback)

Lt. Grayson Clark is fearless...except when it comes to relationships. But no relationship, no woman, ever affected him the way Lori Rutledge did. Even after a year without her, he can't shake the thought of her. And when they're sent on a mission together, all those all feelings flood back.

Lori broke her own heart a year ago when she left Gray. She doesn't know if she can live through that kind of pain again. But how can she walk away from this one last chance with him?

Catherine Mann delivers a fast-paced, touching story of rediscovery as Lori and Gray find what they were meant to have all along...love. I'm looking forward to the next book, Taking Cover, this November.
