More About the Author

Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached thirty that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.

In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the "Isn't It Romantic?" episode of CBS 48 Hours. That book, Call Me, was a Romantic Times finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.

With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best "how-to" manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.

Having over thirty titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the Harlequin Blaze and Kensington Brava lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (http://www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (http://www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a Website designer.

Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her web site at http://www.alisonkent.com.

Jamie Danby has spent the past ten years looking over her shoulder. As the sole survivor of an attack that left five of her co-workers dead and their attacker never caught, she has much to fear. The the case is brought to light again and Texas Ranger Kellen Harding steps up the investigation, Jamie reluctantly agrees to undergo forensic hypnosis in a hopeful search for missing clues about the attack.

When the killer reappears and Jamie's life is once again in danger, she realizes that she has a formidable source of protection on her side this time in Kell. While they both understood the risks involved, neither of them were expecting to fall so quickly, or so hard, for each other. Kell is determined to simply walk away once the case has been put to rest, but that's no easy task when Jamie's holding on to his heart.

Alison writes in a sort of living color - she doesn't simply tell you a story, it's as if you open the book and she takes your hand, encouraging you to step into the story. Every sound, smell, texture, and emotion become almost tangible. Jamie's fear is real enough at times that you can feel it in your gut, and Kell's determination is realized with an almost spine-tingling desperation.
I highly recommend ONE GOOD MAN!

This review is from: One Good Man (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

One Good Man by Alison Kent gives us another sexy hero in Texas Ranger Kell Harding.

Jamie Danby had never really put behind her the terrible day when she was the sole survivor of the horrific mass murder. Ten years later it all comes rushing back and her life is in danger again.

Texas Rancher Kellen Harding has swore to protect and serve. His former mentor had previously worked the Sonora Nites Dinner case, so Kell is very familiar with its history. He wasn't prepared for his attraction to the key witness Jamie Danby.

When the killer thinks Jamie is starting to remember more details of that day, her life is on the line. Kell will do everything in his power to protect Jamie. As Kell and Jamie are on the run they give into their explosive attraction. Neither had thought they would find something so life changing in the middle of such terror.

One Good Man is another book by Alison Kent that keeps you enthralled from page one. Kell and Jamie's passion is hot and steamy but also deeply healing for them both. You can't go wrong picking up any book by Alison Kent.

I've read a good number of Harlequin Blaze. Some good, some fair, and even a few that were a struggle to finish. I would place this in the top five for "All time best". Go ahead and give it a read- you won't be disappointed in this one.
