This review is from: Warrior Without a Cause (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Mass Market Paperback)

Tessa D'Angelo refuses to accept that her recently deceased father would have been working for drug lords and ultimately committed suicide in spite of the evidence that overwhelming condemns her father. Instead she believes he was to into justice for all so she keeps looking for counter proof. However, her inquiries cause concern for someone who beats her up in her home warning her next time she will be dead.

Family friend Stan Kovacs sends Tessa to military trainer Jack "Lone Wolf" Chaney. He reluctantly takes her on in his hell of a boot camp. As he dishes out all he can and more, she keeps coming back for additional punishment as Tessa refuses to quit her investigation and refuses to ever be a frightened victim again. Though he swore her quest was stupid and he would not get involved in watching her die, Jack falls in love with his student and cannot help but keep her safe which includes from himself though Tessa loves him back.

WARRIOR WITHOUT A CAUSE is a fabulous romantic suspense tale that stars a wonderful courageous protagonist who is more energetic than the energizer bunny is. Jack is an intriguing dedicated professional who does not believe in lost causes so he cannot comprehend why he is working with Tessa. Adding to the training camp from hell subplot are a fine romance and an especially fun mystery of her father's death as suicide seems the only solution to this locked door thriller that grips readers from the moment the intruder assaults Tessa until the final rescue.
