This is definitely one for the read again and again pile!

Secret Soldier by Dana Marton Harlequin Intrigue # 821 - January 2005 - SDDU series Book #2 Spike is a member of the SDDU and his latest assignment is to go undercover into Beharrain to recruit an American aid worker to become a CIA operative. Abigail's mission in Beharrain is to help small villages relearn community; to teach the youth useful skills that they can barter for food and shelter; to teach the children to read and her acquaintance with a suspected terrorist makes her the perfect spy. When Spike shows up as a journalist assigned to film her work, he spends the night in her hut. The villagers insist that they marry, or Abigail may be stoned to death. Their trip to the city to marry brings them into danger, first from bandits and then from the targeted terrorist. This is an intense story with violent scenes that may not appeal to everyone. Those scenes are integral to the story and are dealt with very well. There are some witty moments that make a nice relief. Abigail really knocks Spike's socks off. Not only is she attractive, but she's brave and smart too. Even though I knew there would be a HEA, there were some moments I feared for the brave duo. This is definitely one for the read again and again pile! SDDU (Special Designation Defense Unit) series by Dana Marton The SDDU is an elite group compiled of agents from all the US agencies; CIA, FBI, SEALs, Special Forces; the best of the best. The SDDU is Homeland Security's special weapon against terrorism. Shadow Soldier / Secret Soldier The Sheik's Safety / Camouflage Heart Rogue Soldier / Protective Measures These are all incredible reads! If you like action, adventure and romance, these will not disappoint you. I love that Ms. Marton writes her heroines to be equally as brave and strong as her heroes.

Fabulous Romantic Suspense

I love Dana Marton's stories! This is an awesome and exciting story. The hero, Spike, is sexy, appealing and romantic. The heroine is smart and he definitely meets his match in her. Fast paced, unpredictable and filled with tension--from their adventure in the desert and their feelings for one another. Don't miss Dana Marton's Intrigues. They are wonderful and out of the ordinary novels that are sure to keep you reading until the last line.

Hot, hot, hot!

Hot desert locale, hot scenes fraught with excitement, and lovemaking hot enough to warm my blood as I read. Spike is a delicious hero. An ultra-masculine operative of the SDDU Defense Unit, who puts his life on the line to keep America safe. Talk about high stakes--no less than the fate of the world rests on Spike's muscular shoulders. At first, he sees Abigail as an extra burden, but in her own way, she's as strong as he. She has sacrificed comfort and safety in order to teach life skills to the orphans of a small desert village. Sacrificing her singlehood is another matter, but she does it when she realizes it's the only way she can continue her life's work. The sudden marriage is just the start of a rollicking adventure yarn full of excitement and passion. Together, the couple fight the elements and terrorists, but they can't fight their attraction for each other. This one goes on the Keeper Shelf!
