3.0 out of 5 stars A Last Stand, April 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Hart's Last Stand (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1073) (Paperback)

Hart Branson is a leader of an elite Cobra Corps unit. A year ago while on a mission he saw the helicopter of his best friend, Rick Cassidy, explode. Now, Rick's wife, Suzanne, is back and needs his help. Hart was very attracted to her and still is, but isn't sure he trusts her. His relationships with women, his mother, ex-wife, etc, have not been very good. They always leave him. Suzanne has returned because she is afraid. Military plans have been stolen and the FBI think that Rick is alive and that she and her husband are involved in the theft. She wants Hart's help to stay out of jail, but even though she is attracted to him, she isn't sure she trusts him. As they work together to find out who stole the plans their attraction grows. The premise of this story is why I purchased the book. However, it failed to live up to my expectations. The writing is very flowery and takes pages to say little. The distrust between the two characters is fine in the beginning, but nothing in the story seems to actually resolve it. It just seems to disappear near the end. The ending also appears weak and just occurs without much of a build up. The mystery of who stole the plans and the two characters solving it is secondary to the pages of language on how much each character is attracted to the other. This might seem as if it would have a strong sensuality rating, but it isn't there either because it takes most of the book for them to get together and you wonder why. Nice light reading because I liked the characters, but not a book I would keep.
