I really think Brockmann should give up the Navy Seals books and go back to straight contemporaries because she does them so well. This one was again witty, light, funny, with great dialog, like the other old Loveswepts she wrote. It's a friends to lovers story and I really enjoyed it. (Grade: B) (

Leila Hunt joins her brother in his Floridian home for a New Year's Eve party and subsequent vacations. At the party, she is kissed by a mysterious stranger in a ninja costume. She tries to find this stranger, but at the same time, she seems to be falling in love with Marshall Devlin, her brother's best friend and her own childhood enemy, who has grown into an attractive and lovable man...
This is a reissue of a 1996 series romance and it shows. It's bad. Really bad. The author's talent shows even in this book - Brockmann can certainly write, and I have to admit that the book never got boring. But the heroine is intolerable. She's stupid. Bitchy - so much so that she takes bitchyness to a whole new level. She's fickle. She waffles. She considers getting married to a guy who she has been dating for about 2 years, who never has time for her, and who she is so attracted to that she hasn't even slept with him! I just couldn't stand Leila. The hero isn't too bad though, but he doesn't get enough scenes to actually save this book. (

Leila Hunt had grown up on the isolated island where her brother still lived. She couldn't wait to leave the island and the small town and gossipy neighbors for the Big City. When Leila returns to the island for a vacation, her fiance declines to come with her and she runs into Dr. Marsh Devlin, her brother's best friend and her tormentor all during childhood.

I love Suzanne Brockman's Navy Seal novels, but this is one she wrote before that series. It's lightly entertaining, but didn't really hold my interest. (

Book description

When Leila Hunt is swept off her feet by a ninja at a New Year's Eve costume party, she has no idea who the masked man is—but after he disappears into the night, she’s determined to find him. When the clock struck twelve, what began as a friendly New Year's greeting quickly became the most unforgettable kiss Leila had ever experienced with anyone—including her absent boyfriend. But of all the possible suspects, Leila hardly imagines that the ninja is the same man who’s teased, tormented—and secretly intrigued her—since childhood.

Marshall Devlin is finally ready to face the terrifying truth: he’s in love with his best friend’s sister, and has been for years. There’s just one complication: Leila didn't know he was her ninja. To win her, Marsh will have to woo her. But can he make Leila forget their decades of verbal sparring in time to stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life?
