"A Winner!"

Shana Quinn may be too short for the police force but she's well trained and has enough drive and motivation. She also wants to get a job on her own merit and not on the good word of her father, a retired policeman. She applies for a job at Renault Technologies, Security division and is hired but, it's not long before she makes a mistake and is consigned to door duty and then a break falls her way. Royce Renault's niece has been kidnapped and held for ransom. She volunteers to find the little girl before she is killed and Royce lets her take the case. This should be a good thing but instead it puts her in direct contact with Royce who insists on calling himself her boyfriend as a cover. Will Shana be able to find the girl, keep her heart, and stay one step ahead of the bad guys or will everything fall apart and love finally get a hold of her?

Ms. Hart has penned a wonderful romantic suspense read...high in octane, and wonderfully romantic. Shana and Royce are opposites and this makes for a great read with laugh out loud moments as well as deep sighs at the romance, and nail biting edge of your seat reading. Shana is a strong female and yet despite the fact she can kick backside and take names there is something totally feminine and likable about her. Her strength is an endearing trait and her spitfire attitude will draw readers in. Royce is a charming hero, rich, protective, and there when you need him. He allows Shana to shine and be who she is even though he wants to save her from himself at times. In other words a perfect hero. Ms. Hart knows how to combined elements and introduce different threads in her storylines without cheating any of them or over doing it either. This is a fast entertaining read, one that I highly recommend as well as the author.
