Rising Star in Romantic Suspense

HOTSHOT is an exciting tale about a woman whose past returns with unexpected danger and a sexy surprise who adds complications and palpitations. I loved the first book in Catherine Manns' Dark Ops series - DEFENDER - and am thrilled to see a second romantic thriller released so soon afterwards. This story has everything I want in a fast paced and high action romantic adventure. Catherine Mann has honed her craft and is a rising star in the romantic suspense field I hope to see for many years.

Awesome addition to the Dark Ops series

This second installment in the Dark Ops series is, dare I say, even better than the first? The subject matter is intense and unique, the characters strong and compelling. If you're looking for a fast-paced romantic suspense, Catherine Mann delivers.

exciting Darks Ops romantic thriller

After a rough childhood, Shay Bassett made it through hard work. In Cleveland she has become a spokesperson for troubled teens. The advocate is heading to DC to speak to Congress about her city's increase in gang activity. However someone wants her silence before she can make her testimony. Her teen past returns when Major Vince Deluca, as a favor to his mentor, agrees to protect Shay. He still wants her as he did as an out of control teen and worries about her when they first meet; she is in the face of a youngster who threatens to slice off her head with a machete. However, first keep her safe; second find out who the assassin is; and third control his libido, but he forgot to factor in feisty Shay. Different from DEFENDER as this time the military converts to the civilian world, HOTSHOT is an exciting Darks Ops romantic thriller that hooks the audience from the opening suspense scene and never loosens the tension until the end. The story line is action-packed and stars two brave powerful lead characters who refuse to allow gangs to intimidate them though they recognize the danger. Fans who relish an exciting military romantic thriller in a civilian environment will want to read Catherine Mann's powerful tale. Harriet Klausner
