Customer Reviews

Characters who grab your heart and won't let go.

It's so easy to see why Catherine Mann is one of the hottest risign stars around. From the first word to the last, this book pulled at my emotions. I cried, but it was happy, make-your-heart-swell tears. What wonderful, deep, rich characterization! Col. Zach Dawson is as much of a real life hero as you can get, and heroines don't come with more backbone and love than Julia Sinclair. I can't wait to get the rest of the Wingman Warrior books now. If you like an intense, emotional read with a real slice of military life and a beautiful, happy ending, don't miss the series!

Wow!

Zach comes up with a plan...a plan that will help him with his daughters, and allow Julia extra time at home with her baby. A marriage of convenience. A business arrangement.But sometimes business plans can fall to the wayside when love enters the picture!A fantastic, heart-tugging read by Catherine Mann!

Winner of the WordWeaving Award for Excellence

His ex-wife's departure did not break Lieutenant Colonel Zach Dawson's heart, but he did resent her abandonment of their daughters when she ran off with her cooking instructor boyfriend. Shelby, a rebellious teen, feeds her mother's international food offerings to their increasingly overweight dog while eight-year-old optimist Ivy eats every confection in hopes that it means her mother will somehow be with them. Only Julia's help with the girls has kept his family together. But his responsibility to her deceased husband Lance Sinclair overshadows any friendship they might share.Raised in a commune, Julia found the life as a reserve Air Force pilot stifling. She had fought a loosing battle to salvage her marriage with Lance, only to loose him anyway. Eight months later she bore his son, a child afflicted with Down syndrome. Overwhelmed by the responsibility and needs of her young son, she accepts Zach's sudden proposal so that she might quit work for a year to care for her child. In return, Zach needs Julia's help with his daughters. Unfortunately, both have underestimated the damage such an arrangement might inflict upon the heart.Author Catherine Mann pens a lively, entrancing read in UNDER SEIGE, deftly capturing life's challenges with finesse and grace. Mann's characters sparkle, including newborn Patrick whose Down syndrome neatly balances the challenges presented by Zach's daughters, especially the troublesome Shelby. Julia's free spirit radically defies Zach's military perfection, yet together they balance in a heart-stopping story readers will find impossible to forget. In addition, Mann boldly captures the heart stopping challenges a pilot's wife faces, including the dreadful fear of the knock on the door with the announcement that a pilot will not be returning home. A remarkable read that belongs on the keeper shelf, UNDER SEIGE earns the WordWeaving Award for Excellence.
