The unrealistic dialogue between the SEAL rescuers at a time when they should have been totally focussed on getting the woman and children out of imminent and severe danger destroyed any credibility the story might have. ( ) This is a really good story. Usual Susan Stoker Hero. Strong, protective streak. This time for both the heroine and three children. Some interesting issues raised. No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine. Bit slow burn due to the situation they are in and the three children being present for most of their time together. No other woman or man drama. No real relationship history. Pretty instant connection but more admiration than love at first. Some violent references and unpleasant issues going on in the background but no details or descriptive scenes. Breadcrumbs dropped for future books in series and updates of previous characters and possible spoilers to their books if not read series in order. Beloved Tex also makes an appearance. Warning that the epilogue drops a huge breadcrumb for a future book and it looks like the book that will continue it isn t out next. HEA. No doubt the couples story will continue in the background of the series. It's terrible what grief can do to someone and how much it varies from person to person. Piper has such a huge heart to go through what she went through and still adore Rani, Sinta and Kamala. And Ace is so special to jump in with both feet and help Piper accomplish what she wants to do. It's not all roses and chocolates, but once they get through the "theft" they have truly found "family". A very powerful story. no reviews | add a review

"What started as an adventure, soon became hell. Piper Johnson's thrilled to spend time in Timor-Leste with her best friend, a Peace Corps volunteer...until civil unrest erupts throughout the countryside, including an attack at the orphanage the women were visiting. With the aid of a SEAL team sent to extract the government employee, Piper flees with the only other known survivors--three young orphan girls. Piper wasn't able to save her friend, but she'll be damned if she leaves the girls to the mercy of child traffickers in the country's impoverished capital. However, taking them with her to the States requires something drastic, something crazy...something she can't do alone. What started as a mission, soon becomes fate. Since nearly dying on a previous op, Beckett "Ace" Morgan has no time for regrets. Life is far too short. So when he learns the brave, beautiful, selfless woman he's rescued has a better chance of getting three orphans out of the country if she's married, he doesn't hesitate. Ace marries her then and there, instantly gaining the family he's always wanted. With time, he knows his respect for Piper can grow into love, and meanwhile, he's saved both her and their new daughters from a fast-spreading rebel incursion. Protecting his girls on foreign soil turns out to be the easy part of the team's mission. Protecting them from a threat waiting at home may be the biggest fight of Ace's life."-- No library descriptions found. |
