Search - Forbidden (Bartlett Brothers, Bk 1)

This was originally published as a category romance and it's thinner and more simplistic than Brockmann's usual work. The ending is also quite anticlimactic for a romantic suspense book. But what really bothered me was that I never got a good sense of what was keeping the hero and heroine apart; it never felt emotionally real.

gotta love it when a cowboy can come to the rescue!

Kayla Grey travels to Montana and is caught in a snowstorm, only to be saved by the very man she came to see. Cal Bartlett is the brother of the man who'd wanted to marry her. Now she is here to tell him that his dead brother may not be dead after all. Cal doesn't want to be drawn to the woman his brother loved. Now she is insisting that he might be alive and asking Cal to join in a dangerous search. Cal hopes if he finds his brother, his feelings for Kayla won't tear them apart.

Fast moving story. Only a little bit of suspense. I thought the "problem" could have been resolved if the hero and heroine actually talked to each other. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

First Romantic Novel I have read and it was EXCELLENT!!!!
