This is the first book in the "Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor" series
and was pretty good. Dare Macintosh is a mercenary who has been to
Mexico to free the sister of his best friend from sex traffickers, but
she is not the only woman he has brought back; Molly Alexander was
there, too. She had been kidnapped and held for a different reason,
which forms the backbone of the plot of the story. She wasn't taken for
sex trafficking, so why and who did it? Molly is a successful fiction
writer and the daughter of a rich and successful businessman, but she
and her father barely see each other as he doesn't approve of her
vocation and plain lifestyle. Dare is drawn to her inner strength and
courage and vows to protect her until he can find the answers to her
kidnapping.
This is an above average romantic suspense
story with an unusual alpha male who calls his dogs "his girls" and
lives on an isolated estate in Kentucky. He and Molly quickly develop feelings for each other,
almost too quickly it seemed to me. Molly has been badly battered but
her spirit is never broken. Dare is likable and isn't afraid to show
his feelings to his gay assistant, his best friend's sister, Molly, or his dogs
(who both had district personalities). The secondary characters were well
drawn and made me want to know them better. 448 pages.
