Brianna Kent is a well respected psychologist and has become the target of a
stalker. She is forced to hire the services of a top notch Manhattan-based
security company which is owned by her ex husband. Michael Landis is ex
military and has brought his skills from the Special Forces into his company
TALON-6. As soon as Mike learns his ex wife is being stalked he utilizes his
knowledge, and his company, to protect her at all costs. And in the process
discovers he still loves Bria and vows to find the person that is tormenting
her. Things become deadly when the stalker holds Brianna's life in his hands
and it is up to Michael to save the woman he loves.

Michael Landis is an Alpha male you definitely have to meet. And his special
security company TALON-6 will intrigue readers that enjoy military romance.
TOUGH AS NAILS is action packed and the renewed love between the hero and
heroine will satisfy your romantic soul. I will definitely be keeping my
eyes on this author for more TALON-6 books. Great story!

Michael Landis is definitely a Man on a Mission - too bad his ex-wife is a bit off base in her emotions.

She has issues that she has not resolved so how can she advise others? At least aunt Nora has a modicum of sense. She has kept in touch with Mike. And knows that he has the ability to protect the very reluctant Brianna Kent.

Brianna figures the Mike walked away from their marriage and didn't look back. Little does she know.

Michael Landis is one of the partners of Talon-6 along with Liam O'Shea, Clete, Russel and the daughter of deceased Master Sergeant Stuart Thomas who acts as secretary, Bailey.

The trouble is that the stalker is always one step ahead of them. And, of course, Brianna can't believe that anyone she knows would betray her and her clients. Except someone is listening - taking pictures - and trying to trap her.

Brianna doesn't want anything to do with Mike out side of the business of catching this stalker. But she still falls into the trap of her own hormones. She hasn't had a relationship in the past two years [yet hints at the physical] what a drip.

Love the smarts of the stalker - he almost gets her, due to her own niavity. Not much self-preservation instinct there.

Excellent story - great characters [even the stalker] great action - mystery - cat and mouse game.

Definitely Recommended -m a great read [just can't stand these silly females.]

4.0 out of 5 stars A Romantic Story, June 29, 2003

This review is from: Tough As Nails (Men on a Mission) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is about a psychiatrist who is being stalked by someone who wants to kill her. She is known for her work on battered womens cases and someone who has access to her office and an in-depth knowledge of surveylence is coming after her. She promises her loving aunt that she will get in touch with her ex-husband, and the head of a private security agency, for help. Between the stalker and the love the two still have for eachother, the book really sizzles.

I enjoyed the book because the two have some unresolved issues that they have to work through and despite their attraction, they care enough about eachother to know that getting more intimately involved would be a heartbreak waiting to happen. Therefore, the suspense is a great build up. The action is continuous and the ending is perfect. Not a book to make you think but a great summer read.
