Sleeping Beauty & The Marine [Mass Market Paperback]

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Journalist Cassandra "Cassie" Jones is determined that this time around Marine Captain Sam Wilder is not going to ignore her. The two had only met once before at a press conference, where America's latest military hero seemingly disregarded the then quiet brunette Cassie to focus his attention on one of Cassie's blond "colleagues." Tired of being overlooked, Cassie trades in her glasses for contacts and has a stylist turn her into a "whiplash blonde." Now assigned to do a magazine profile on Sam, Cassie starts out determined to maintain a strictly business relationship with the all-too-sexy Marine, but the more time she spends with Sam, the harder it becomes to keep things between them strictly professional. Linz expertly maneuvers the simmering sexual chemistry between her hero and heroine into a sweetly satisfying romance, and her polished writing is seasoned with just the right amount of humor. The fifth in the author's Men of Honor series, the last three of which have featured a different Wilder brother, this is pure fun. John Charles

5.0 out of 5 stars another fantastic Wilder Marine!!, January 3, 2003

US Marine Captain Sam Wilder is an American hero!! Cassandra Jones is an up
and coming journalist on a new assigment. She had once been rebuffed by Sam
when he had "overlooked" her at a press conference. At that time Cassie had
been a bespectacled brunette which she believes is the reason Sam had not
picked her to question him at the press event, instead he had chosen a
blonde. Now, Cassie is doing a hero piece on Sam, however she is now a
blonde bombshell and Sam does not recognize her. He is instantly attracted
to Cassie but she is out for revenge!!

Cathie Linz has another winner!! The last Wilder brother is definitely what
a hero should be! "SLEEPING BEAUTY & THE MARINE" is a five star delight with
snappy dialogue and sexy characters. Don't miss this fast-paced, feel-good
military romance...it's fantastic!
