Product Description
Claire Sharp trusts few people and relies on no one. But, after her life is threatened, exmercenary Brett Adams blows into her self-contained world, full of southern charm, rugged good looks, and enough sexual experience to write a how-to manual...experience he makes it clear he'd like to use on Claire. She wants help fighting the bad guys, but she's not about to fall into Brett's bed. For one thing, the guy has a no-commitment clause better than most big shot attorneys and for another, despite her response to his too sensual kisses, in her experience sex isn't exactly fireworks and brass bands. Definitely not worth getting all excited over...Brett plans to prove her wrong. He's never felt such a powerful combination of lust and friendship with a woman. He'll give her a white-hot pleasure like nothing she's ever known and she'll realize that some things in life are worth taking the risk for. When the threat to Claire grows dangerously close, pitting them against deadly odds, Brett will do whatever it takes to save her. Because Claire Sharp has just found herself a man who's ready to bring it on, willing to do what it takes, and able to go the distance...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book by an author at the top of her form!, April 29, 2006
By C. Farley "seafaire" (Bakersfield, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: And Able (Paperback)
This book completes a trio but is very much the best of the lot and can stand alone as a marvelous read. It takes a skilled writer to create an alpha male with a deep ability to express caring and love as well as action. It happens here because the character comes from a background of strong Southern women. We believe this and it gives him a balance for his almost saintly behavior. He is swoon-worthy! To have a female lead with enough conflict to bring a quality level of tension to the story plus have brains and personality plus creates a power couple that we care about. This book came to me at the perfect time.
I had just discovered I "inherited" a construction clean-up project I hadn't know about that will take about three weeks of hot sun work to finish. Knowing that I can come back to this world with my feet up and a cold beer to be swept away into this wonderful story really helped.

4.0 out of 5 stars Plot eclipsed by the romance., May 1, 2006
This review is from: And Able (Paperback)
Overall, this was the best book of Lucy Monroe's Mercenary trilogy. The characters we have met in the past two books, Ready and Willing, Claire Sharp and Brett "Hotwire" Adams are the most intriguing and realistic couple, with a more true kind of relationship. Brett has vowed to never fall in love and Claire resists the idea of an uncommitted sexual liaison. The chemistry between the two is highly combustible and carries the reader steadily to the last page.

The plot is a different matter. Claire is attacked in her own bed, despite Brett's safety measures, and even though Brett is supposed to be the best at security detailing and tracking criminals, he is unable to do either successfully. The book would also benefit from a thorough copy editing, especially in chapter three when Claire asks a man in his eighties about his involvement in World War I. It may have been a typo, or just a misunderstanding, but I found it distracting. Some of the other time line stuff didn't seem to ring true either, which can bother us detail oriented readers.
The villain, who isn't revealed until the end, seemed superhuman, capable of even more than the Mercs, and his final act of tyranny was rather far fetched.

In conclusion, a very worthwhile read and I believe the characters will stick with you long after the inaccuracies and mediocre plot fade away.

2.0 out of 5 stars Same old stuff..., June 27, 2006
This review is from: And Able (Paperback)
I had never read a Lucy Monroe book before. I bought 3 of them at once based on the good reviews they got. I read 'The Real Deal' and really enjoyed it so I immediately started in on 'And Able.' Am I the only one that noticed carbon copy scenes and dialogue from her previous book??? A lot of authors use a formula for their books, I just don't remember one that uses almost word for word lines of dialogue and identical scenes in 2 different books. I had an order for a 4th Lucy Monroe book but have canceled it because it would be more of the same old stuff that I've already read.
