"Hell's bells," Kurt Striker grumbled under his breath.
He didn't like the job that was set before him. Not one little bit. But he couldn't say no. And it wasn't just because of the substantial fee attached to the assignment, no, the money was good enough. Tempting. He could use an extra twenty-five grand right now. Who couldn't? A check for half the amount sat on the coffee table. Untouched.
Because of the night before. Because of his secret. He stood in the living room, a fire crackling and warming the backs of his legs, the sprawling snow-covered acres of the Flying M Ranch visible through frosted windows.
"So, what do you say, Striker?, Thorne McCafferty demanded. the oldest of three brothers, he was a businessman by nature and always took charge.
"Have we got a deal? Will you see that our sister is safe?"
The job was complicated. Striker was to become Randi McCafferty's personal bodyguard whether she liked it or not. Which she wouldn't. Kurt would lay odds on it. he'd spent enough time with the only daughter of the late John Randall McCafferty to know that when she made up her mind, it wasn't likely to be changed, not by him, nor by her three half brothers who all seemed to have developed a latent sense of responsibility for their headstrong sibling.
She was trouble. No two ways about it. the way she'd hightailed it out of here only a few hours earlier had clearly indicated her mind was set. She was returning to Seattle. With her child. To her home. To her job. To her old life, and the consequences be damned.
And she was running away.
From her three overbearing half brothers.
And from him.
Striker didn't like the situation one bit, but he couldn't very well confide in these three men, now, could he? As he glanced from one anxious McCafferty brother to the next, he didn't examine his own emotions too closely, didn't want to admit that the reason he was balking at the job was because he didn't want to get tangled up with a woman. Any woman. Especially not with the kid sister of these tough-as-nails, overprotective brothers.
it's a little too late for that now, wouldn't you say?
Randi was a sexy thing. All fire and attitude. A strong woman who would, he suspected, as any self-respecting child of John Randall McCafferty, bulldoze her way through life and do exactly what she wanted to do. She wouldn't like Striker nosing around, prying into her affairs, even if he was trying to insulate her from danger. In fact, she'd probably resent it. Especially now.
"Randi's gonna be ticked." Slade, the youngest McCafferty brother, echoed Striker's thoughts, even though he didn't know the half of it. In jeans and a faded flannel shirt, Slade walked to the window and stared outside at the wintry Montana landscape. Snow covered the fields where a few head of cattle and horses huddled against the cold.
"Of course she'll be ticked. Who wouldn't be?, Matt, brother number two, was seated on the worn leather sofa, the heel of one of his cowboy boots propped onto the coffee table only inches from a check for twelve thousand five hundred dollars. "I'd hate it."
"She doesn't have a choice," Thorne said. CEO of his own corporation, Thorne was used to giving orders and having his employees obey. he'd recently moved to Grand Hope, Montana, from Denver, but he was still in charge. "We agreed, didn't we?, he was saying as he motioned to his younger brothers.
"For her protection and the baby's safety, she needs a bodyguard."
Matt nodded curtly. "Yeah, we agreed. That won't make it any easier for Randi to swallow. Even if Kelly's involved."
Kelly was Matt's wife, an ex-cop who was now a private investigator. She'd agreed to work with Striker, especially on this, her sister-in-law's case. Red-haired and quick-witted, Kelly would be an asset. But Striker wasn't convinced Kelly McCafferty would be the oil on troubled waters as far as Randi was concerned. No—having a relative involved would only make a sticky situation stickier.
He glanced to the window, toward the youngest McCafferty brother. the friend who had dragged him into this mess. But Slade didn't meet his eyes, just continued to stare out the frosty panes.
"Look, we've got to do something and we don't have time to waste. Someone's trying to kill her," Thorne pointed out.
Striker's jaw tightened. This was no joke.And deep down he knew that he'd take the job; wouldn't trust anyone else to do it. For as bullheaded and stubborn as Randi McCafferty was, there was something about her, a spark in her brown eyes that seemed to touch him just under the skin, a bit of fire that scorched slightly. it had gotten his attention and hadn't let go.
Last night had been proof enough.
Thorne was agitated, worry evident in the lines of his face, his fingers jangling the keys in his pocket. His stare held Striker's. "Will you take the job, or are we going to have to find someone else?"
The thought of another man getting close to Randi soured Kurt's gut, but before he could respond, Slade finally spoke. "No one else. We need someone we can trust."
"Amen," Matt agreed, before Slade nodded toward the window where a Jeep was plowing down the lane.
Trust? Jesus!
His teeth clenched so hard they ached. Slade nodded toward the window where an SUV was steadily approaching. "Looks like Nicole's home."
The tension in Thorne's features softened a bit. Within minutes the front door burst open, and a blast of cold Montana air raced into the room. Dr. Nicole McCafferty, still shaking snow from her coat, crossed the entry as the rumble of tiny feet erupted upstairs and Thorne's two stepdaughters, four-year-old-twins, thundered down the stairs. Laughter and shouts added to the din.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Molly cried, while her shier sister, Mindy, beamed and threw herself into Nicole's waiting arms.
"Hey, how're my girls?, Nicole asked in greeting, scooping both twins into her arms and kissing them on the cheeks.
"you're coooooold!" Molly said.
Nicole laughed. "So I am."
Thorne, limping slightly from a recent accident, made his way into the entry hall and kissed his wife soundly, the girls wriggling between them.
Striker turned away. Felt he was intruding on an intimate scene. it was the same uncomfortable sensation that had been with him from the get-go when Slade had contacted him about helping out the family, and Kurt had first set foot on the Flying M. it had been in October when Randi McCafferty's car had been forced off the road at Glacier Park. She had gone into premature labor and both she and her new baby had nearly died. She'd been in a coma for a while and when she had awoken she'd struggled with amnesia.
Or so she claimed.
Striker thought the loss of memory, though supported by Randi's doctor, was too convenient. he'd also found evidence that another vehicle had run Randi's rig down a steep hillside, where she'd plowed into a tree. She'd survived, though as she'd recovered and regained her memory, she would say nothing about the accident, or guess who might have been trying to kill her. She'd incriminate no one. Either she didn't know or wouldn't tell. the same was true about the father of her kid. She'd told no one who had sired little Joshua. Kurt scowled at the thought. He didn't want to think of anyone being intimate with Randi, though that was just plain stupid. He had no claim to her; wasn't even certain he liked her.
then you should have let it go last night—you saw her on the landing, watched her take care of her child, then waited until she'd put him to bed—
In his mind's eye, Kurt remembered her sitting on the ledge, humming softly, her white nightgown clinging to her body as she cradled her baby and fed him. he'd been upstairs, looking down over the railing and moonlight had spilled over her shoulders, illuminating her like a madonna with child. the sight had been almost spiritual, but also sensual, and he'd slowly eased his way into the shadows and waited. Telling himself he just wanted to walk down the stairs unnoticed, one of the floorboards had creaked and Randi had looked up, seen him there on the upper landing, his hands over the railing.
"Come on, let's see what Juanita's got in the kitchen," Nicole was saying, bringing Kurt crashing back to the here and now. "Smells good."
"Cinn-da-mon!" the shier twin said while her sister rolled her eyes.
"Cinn-a-mon," Molly corrected.
"We'll find out, won't we?, Nicole shuffled the girls down the hallway toward the kitchen while Thorne returned to the living room.
The smile he'd reserved for his wife and family had faded and he was all business again. "So what's it gonna be, Striker? Are you in?"
"it's a helluva lot of money," Matt reminded him.
"Look, Striker, I'm counting on you." Slade gave up his position near the window. Lines of worry pinched the corners of his eyes. "Someone wants Randi dead. I told Thorne and Matt that if anyone could find out who it was, you could. So are you gonna prove me right or what?"
With only a little bit of guilt he slid the check into the battered leather of his wallet. there wasn't really any point in arguing. there hadn't been from the get-go. Striker could no more let Randi McCafferty take off with her kid and face her would-be killer alone than he could quit breathing.
He planned on nailing the son of a bitch. Big-time.

Over-priced at $3.40
By A. Schar
I am not against formula romance but really, give me something of a story. Help it unfold. How many paragraphs can be spent with the characters reliving/rehashing their "unintentional" hot sexual encounter. And whose baby sleeps through the night without ever waking up? And what new mother just hands her baby over to a college friend whom she hasn't seen for a long time. And what college friend is so free, kind, and independently wealthy that she has time to just hang out and watch this friend's baby. And why, when she writes a popular syndicated column does it matter if she doesn't go into the office. And why bring up that she and her boss have a lot of tension when it has nothing to do with the story. Please.

In the mountain cabin with the sexy bodyguard
By booksforabuck
Randi McCafferty can take care of herself--and her baby son. She doesn't need the bodyguard her brothers hired to protect her and she certainly wouldn't want her bodyguard to be the man whom she'd slept with. but detective Kurt Striker didn't intend to let Randi out of his sight. He was going to find the secret of her baby's father and the secrets of who might hate her enough to threaten her life. If this meant opening every wound he'd ever suffered, that was part of the price of his job.
As Randi's enemy gradually grows closer, Kurt and Randi head for a remote mountain cabin, but even this security is short-lived. Of course, there's nothing like a remote mountain cabin for putting a hero and heroine together where they can't help fall in love. Finally, though, as they head back to Montana, their luck runs out and Randi's stalker finally tracks them down.
After a slow first half where Randi and Kurt spend too much time alone, thinking about the night they spent together, author Lisa Jackson picks up the pace in the second half. Randi remains strong and determined to be self-reliant but gradually understands what motivates Kurt and feels the emotional attachment. The mystery element of this Silhouette Desire serves mainly as an excuse to keep Randi and Kurt together and there isn't a lot of detecting going on.

quickie read, good writing, not much substance
By Deborah MacGillivray
Lisa Jackson's strong voice makes this quickie read pleasurable. The book is so fast-paced, due to the Desire low word count. This makes it hard to develop any sort of "real" story or character development. It hardly takes an hour to read this. You don't get a chance to really get to know the characters or why they act or react as they do. You're just told they do, accept it, and move on - quickly!
Randi McCaffery's tale (fourth in the series following stories with her three older brothers) picks up with someone still trying to kill her. Presumably, someone wants her dead because she bore a child out of wedlock, even though she refuses to name the daddy. There have been two attempts on her life, nearly killing her and causing to give birth to her baby prematurely. Now, she is determined to leave the family ranch for fear of putting her brothers in danger. Frankly, this pigheaded determination to "do it on her own" is contrived. When a person has someone trying to kill her, she does not run away from the very people that can help you. But that is what Randi does. She claims she is trying to lure the killer away from her brothers, but it's hard to accept as logical. She is also fleeing away from Kurt Striker. Their one night of passion sending Randi running heedless of the danger to her and her baby. Oh, she makes an attempt to hide the child, but not really.
Striker is hired by her brothers to go after Randi and be her bodyguard. She kicks and screams and walks into apartments where the-would-be murder has been. Finally, she is driven to flee the city with Striker in hopes of hiding from the killer.
Of course, their romance picks up once again. Randi spends the whole book running!
The killer is transparent. Sorry, with these tiny books there is just no time to develop secondary characters or make their motivations believable. Jackson is a strong writer and has done some marvelous work in series romance. Just Silhouette Desire's short 185-page length just cramps her completely.
