5.0 out of 5 stars Underwater adventure -- Very highly recommended, August 5, 2003

Air Force co-pilot First Lieutenant Darcy "Wren" Renshaw is disgruntled at being reassigned to fly dolphins and Dr. Max Keagan to the South Pacific rather than flying a war mission; that is, until she gets a look at the good doctor. Tropical flower swim shorts and a five o'clock shadow do not detract from one hot professor. Perhaps this jig in Guam would not be so bad afterall if not for haunting memories of her last stay in the island paradise. Then she had been a child held by kidnappers.

Max's deep undercover CIA assignment is about to meet its conclusion. Two years ago his partner and lover Eva, pregnant with their child, died on a mission. The double agent has led Max to warm tropical waters and unexpected temptation. However, someone watches, and plans to use Max's new love interest to cause harm. Suddenly Darcy and Max's private maneuvers put her at risk, and tropical spiders and snakes are only beginning.

Underwater adventure brings intrigue and love in Catherine Mann's PRIVATE MANEUVERS, the fourth of the "Wingman Warriors" series. Author Mann has made a reputation for delivering sexy, heart pounding action and PRIVATE MANEUVERS is no exception. A spirited heroine, Darcy does not let her fear stop her under the most frightening of circumstances. Determined to gain notice on her own merit, Darcy resents her General father's kindhearted manipulations. Also a military brat, hero Max is her perfect complement, she believes, until she realizes he is more than a simple professor. Rich with witty dialogue and subtle nuances, PRIVATE MANUEVERS delivers a masterful, intriguing romance readers will find impossible to put down. PRIVATE MANUEVERS comes very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first Wingmen Warrior heroine...she's gutsy!!, May 31, 2003

Darcy "Wren" Renshaw is a C-17 co-pilot and she desperately wants a war-zone flying mission. However, her overprotective General father has her landed with an assignment far from the action she craves. Now, she is stuck with transporting a marine biologist and his dolphins to Guam. Darcy can not help but be attracted to the biologist even though he shows no mutual interest in her.

Max Keagan is actually a CIA officer, working an undercover mission on a Naval marine program. He has past personal issues which makes him reluctant to share the attraction he feels for reckless, free spirited Darcy. Plus, he does not need her interferring in his top secret mission. When Darcy is threatened by the same person that killed his lover years ago Max is faced with his past loss and he refuses to let history repeat itself by taking away what he holds dear. Max now has a future to fight for!

I have to say that I get such wonderful feelings after reading Catherine Mann's books. I don't know if it is strictly the patriotic pride I feel for the military of my country or if it is just because this author's books are so fantastic....well I would have to say a combination of both. Each "Wingmen Warrior" book is different and special in it's own way.

PRIVATE MANEUVERS is the first of the four "Wingmen Warriors" to feature a heroine as a member of the special C-17 squadron and she is definitely a heroine to remember with her feisty free spirited nature that snags the hero long before he knew it. And the hero.....WOW!!!!!! From his sexy spiked hair to his flamboyant beach wear, he will snag reader's heart as surely as he did his lady's. This story is a must read and it will kick start your desire to find your own hunk to frolic with on a sandy beach. Catherine Mann has earned her spot by Suzanne Brockmann in military romance. Max and Darcy's story is beyond fantastic!!

Yet again, Catherine Mann brings us a superb book complete with serious relationship issues, authentic military research and witty dialogue. I love her characters and the way she breathes life into their journey. Now, I just need to figure out how to get a full night's sleep when her next all-nighter book comes out. It can't be too soon for me!
