4 STARS

 

I found this book to be kind of a mixed bag.  The first two stories were more on the order of shorter stories.  They had a good plot and were charming but for me, I found them to be just okay.  For me at  least, they didn't pull me in real deep.  

 

The last story "Rescue: Cowboy style" I really liked.  To be fair, it was also a longer story.  But the main characters had depth, humor and heat. I could actually feel the connection and the attraction between them.  And the "brothers" who Trent was so close too had become such a tight family because of being survivors together.  I thought that part of how that had happened was good.  So was the languages that they had taught each other during captivity.  Intriguing.  

There was plenty of danger and action towards the end of the story.  Landing on a high note with the actual ending of a H.E.A.  It also made me want to read more about the other brothers". 

There is an excerpt by Diana Palmer title, "The Snow Man" which looked pretty good too.   A heroine with a clumsy sense of balance?  Oh, yeah that's got to be good.
