Publisher's Summary:
Especially when he's as hot as former Ranger Jamie Flanagan. After their last assignment went horribly wrong, he and his buddies needed to get out of the military for good. There was only one catch, that he and his pals promise their commanding officer one favor. Any favor.
Now tall, dark, and sexy Jamie is a top security specialist and the ultimate ladies' man. So he's more than a little surprised when he learns the colonel has set him up to protect his granddaughter. Who would trust a player like Jamie with a gorgeous woman like Audrey? Then he learns his "mission" is to seduce her away from another man.

Those vexing arrows
On the plus side, the reader was fun. There were few grammatical mistakes and the plot was coherent.
However, the story was absurd, and the book seems to have been written by a tag team. I suggest you give this one a pass if you believe that no book needs the sentence, "An arrow of heat landed in his groin," once, let alone twice. :)
I suggest instead the Linda Howard _Mackenzie_ books.
Heavy going
This is a humorless tale of two post traumatic stress disorders that meet in the night. If you're attracted to wounded he-men and selfless, giving women you might enjoy this tale. You might also be interested if you're uncomfortable with some of the steamier novels in this series as this book is quite tame on that front. If,however, you find the idea of a tortured womanizer who rewards his life saving lady with unimaginative sex unappealing, I would recommend against this selection.
Didn't Like This Story
This book never caught my attention. I listened to the end hoping it would get better but it didn't. I think the main problem for me was that nothing really happened to make it interesting. The two characters met and there was instant attraction. And the plotline to add conflict to the story was just silly in my opinion. I also didn't feel much sexual heat between the main characters, which is a major problem in a romance.
A Good One!
I really liked this book - it had a great story and a good romance. To add more insight, my husband and I were on a road trip and I suggested we listen. Of course he protested, but I asked that he give it 5 minutes. Needless to say, he listened to the entire book - way to go Rhonda Nelson!
The narrarator was excellent and made the characters very believable.
The Player
I couldn't get through it. The narrator sounds like he's straight from Revenge of the Nerds. I couldn't find anything this narrator said to be sexy or the least bit interesting. I actually thought it was a joke at first... unfortunately, the he talks through his nose and sounds like he's never had a date before so it's hard to get into the story. If only the narrator, the actual plot, or the hot scenes would have been good, maybe it would have been more tolerable - no such luck!
