Brown, Dixie Lee

The best hero is a hunky war veteran with an attitude and cocky grin, and Brown (Tempt the Night) has created that in spades. Rescued by the Ranger introduces fans to the Cougar Ridge Hunting Lodge, now co-owned by Garrett and his equally attractive brother, Luke. Garrett, searching for answers, meets the hunted Rachel, and together they must fight for a chance to be whole. Settle in and be rescued by a great story.

Darcy is bold yet naïve, while Walker is driven yet bewildered. The plot-centered story, focusing on nervy brashness, will hold readers' attention.

This first in a trilogy from debut author Brown will thrill readers who enjoy some spice but like the focus on the romance and story rather than the sex. The FBI/personal security backstory with its quirky characters and interesting details provides tension and excitement without being overly violent. Recommended for most collections.
