He had cop written over every inch of his tempting body, and beautiful senator's daughter Riane Rutherford-Quinlan knew from the moment he asked her to dance that he wasn't the type to attend charity balls. He was there for a reason. He was searching for something — or someone.
Ex-cop turned private investigator Joel Logan had been hired to find a child illegally adopted over twenty years ago. A child, now a woman, who had no idea she'd been living a lie. Could Joel tell her the truth without destroying her secure world? Or would his own desire for Riane lead to a mistake that could cost her life — and his heart? |
 RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:
I've just discovered a new SIM writer I'll be watching for in the future. Brenda Harlen's second story for SIM, SOME KIND OF HERO, is fast, sexy and exciting.
Ms. Harlen has crafted a prime hunk of male meat in her new hero, Joel Logan. This former bad boy is a real treat to read. Both Logan and the heroine, Riane, are appealing as are many of the secondary characters.
The only problem with this story is the book's cover. The couple on the cover are in military attire - the woman in a military uniform, the man in fatigues. Neither the heroine or hero in Some Kind of Hero is in the military.
That blunder aside, SOME KIND OF HERO is thoroughly entertaining. Nice work, Ms. Harlen.
