A FIREFIGHTER IN THE FAMILY by Trish Milburn

One of my favorite books finding a permanent home on my shelf is ‘A Fire Fighter in the Family’ by Trish Milburn. The cover originally caught my eye. An all American male and a uniformed woman washing a black dog in a washtub in front of two fire engines? Heaven to this former EMT and volunteer firefighter. Plus, this was another Harlequin American Romance and I knew the book would be fun to read. Little did I know this also included a murder mystery! Hurt and pain mixed with family squabbles, sexual tension and a great beachside location made this a hard-to-put-down treat. In the end, both the hero–troubled Zac Parker–and our heroine–Randi Cooke–led me on a great adventure while proving HEROES DO EXIST! 

I’d love to hear your comments on a hero in your life.Nancy  

 

 

‘All a Man Can Do’

‘All a Man Can do’ by Virginia Kantra is one of my all-time favorite novels, from Silhouette Intimate Moments. It came out in 2002 and I keep it on my bookshelf because it is one of the few books that wraps the story around the male perspective in such a way that it held my attention (and my husbands!) from page one. It actually starts in hero Jarek Denko’s point-of-view. Tess DeLucca is also important to the story, but Jarek and the town of Eden are great. A partial from her back cover blurb: Look but don’t touch. Words to live by for Jarek Denko, looking to forget his past. He has a department to run, a daughter to raise, and an investigation to solve. Tess DeLucca-a reporter who is also the sister of a prime suspect-could be his undoing. This book, luckily for me, was followed by ‘All a Man Can be” (2003) and “All a Man Can Ask” (2003). All keepers!
