Book Description
Publication Date: April 23, 2012
Step into Elaine Levine's exciting new series of alpha
warriors--products of the government's secret corps of assassins called the Red
Team:
Haunted by memories he cannot reach, stalked by an enemy
bent on revenge . . .
Rocco Silas has come home to Wyoming after long years as a
Red Team operative in Afghanistan. It isn't easy returning to civilian life,
especially burdened as he is with a staggering case of PTSD or hunted as he is
by an enemy determined to seek an eye-for-eye--neither of which can he battle
until he confronts the truth of what happened one fateful day in the high
mountain ranges of the Hindu Kush.
. . . She alone holds the key to his sanity.
Mandy Fielding's dream of opening a therapeutic riding
center on her family's ranch is almost within her grasp--until she hires Rocco
Silas, a dangerous ex-Spec Ops friend of her brother's. His haunted eyes and
passionate touch promise a love she never dared believe possible. Can they
confront the truth of his past and build a future together or will the enemy
stalking him destroy them both?

Review: I have no idea how I'm not going to make this review
the size of a novella.
I picked up this book based on the cover alone. I didn't
read the blurb or any of the reviews. I saw the cowboy - BAM - bought it. Don't
let the cover fool you. Even though I've listed cowboy in the tags, it's not
what I'd consider a true cowboy romance. This is the story of a "special
teams" military man, Rocco. He was deep in for years and he has the PTSD
to prove it. He was from the area and grew up on a nearby ranch. But, for me,
him putting back on a cowboy hat - it just didn't seem to fit.
That being said, this was a brilliant story. Often when an
author has too many things going on, at the end, a reader is left unsatisfied.
That's not true with this one. Ms. Levine proves that Rocco can be loved, that
he can move on, that he can face his demons with the help of Mandy and some of
his great military friends.
The author pulls you in and you feel as emotional as Mandy
does (or perhaps it's just me with so many friends that have been in
Afghanistan). I could feel her heartbreak at not knowing what to do with him. I
even wanted to hug him, the poor guy.
A must have for anyone that enjoys the military genre. Even
those who do not, this might be a good first. Lots of hot sex as well.
I bought book 2 first thing this morning (after I'd stayed
up almost all night to read this all in one sitting - you won't want to put it
down either).
