Hero To Hold (Harlequin Romantic Suspense) [Paperback]

Linda Castillo (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Romantic Suspense | Publication Date: September 1, 2001

She had no name, no memory, nothing but the knowledge that she was pregnant and someone wanted her dead. Her only hope was John—the rescue medic who'd saved her life, the Good Samaritan who'd vowed to keep her safe, the sexy stranger who was stealing her heart. Her hero.

Saving lives was his job, but John Maitland had learned long ago the cost of personal involvement. Risking his life he could handle, risking his emotions—his heart—was out of the question. Until he rescued "Hannah," battered, bruised and scared for her life, off the side of a mountain. Suddenly things got very, very personal....

Search and rescue medic John Maitland found her clad in nothing more than street cloths at nine thousand feet in January. A cross-country skier had spotted her, resulting in a call to the Rocky Mountain Search and Rescue team. When she pulls a gun on him, John reminds himself that hypothermia can cause mental confusion. He doesn't yet see the bruises on her arms - or around her neck.

When the redhead wakes in the hospital, she suffers from amnesia. A scrap of paper in her pocket provides her only identification, Hannah. While she might not recall her name, family, or that she's pregnant, Hannah does recall a sense of danger. A fact confirmed when she's dismissed from the hospital to go to a shelter. As John drives her there, an SUV tries to run them off the road at a curve over a dangerous ravine.

Hannah must discover her identity and the father of her baby. Somewhere in her forgotten past lurks the key to life - or death. By the time John realizes the extent of the danger to himself in his association with the mysterious redhead, both physically and emotionally, he's in over his head. She effortlessly touches a part of him he's held isolated for thirteen years.

Linda Castillo's HERO TO HOLD earned a well-deserved Romantic Times TOP PICK award. With fast paced action and complex characterization, HERO TO HOLD will hold the reader riveted. Courageous and heroic, John Maitland fills every woman's desire for a hero. The perfect blend of romance and danger once again demonstrates this masterful storyteller's skill. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give me more!, September 23, 2001

This review is from: Hero To Hold (Harlequin Romantic Suspense) (Paperback)

I don't usually read the smaller romance novels, but I was looking for something to read and picked up A Hero To Hold in the supermarket. All I can say is WOW! The action starts on the first page when the heroine is rescued off the face of a cliff by the hero who is a search and rescue medic and is lowered from a helicopter. Ms. Castillo did a superb job with the romance as well as the suspense and kept me thoroughly entertained. I finished the book this morning just as my husband was getting up to go to work! If you like lots of adventure and too-hot-to-handle romance, try one of Ms. Castillo's books.
