When Samantha Fairchild witnesses the murder of a local Boston celebrity journalist, the Harvard-bound law student becomes the next target of a professional assassin.

A Special Forces vet with the scars to prove he's both courageous and flawed, Zach takes the job, despite the fact that he and Sam once shared a passionate interlude that ended when he left for war and disappeared from her life. Now, as they try to crack a conspiracy that leads to the city's darkest corners, Sam and Zach must face their fears, desires, and doubts, before a hired killer gets a second shot...

MY THOUGHTS

I found myself caught up in this book from the beginning and really didn't want to put it down.  When I had to stop reading and do something else all I could do was hurry up so I could get back to it.  That makes it a great book in my eyes.  I was thrilled to get to review this book because one of my friends had been telling me how I needed to pick up and read one of Roxanne St. Caire's books that I didn't know what I was missing.  Well she was right.  This was a fantastic read.  I really enjoyed the characters and the way that the author writes and tells this story.  I just love a good ramance with a lead character of a military man and with the things that happened and how he is described in this story makes him all the more sexy.  I found that this story flowed very nicely, was well written and had a great plot.  I have enjoyed this romantic suspence probably more than any I have read so far and will be looking forward to the next one.
