Good read - contemporary romantic suspense. Great plot and interesting characters. The hero and heroine are both trying to deal with what happened in the past while seeing their way to the future. He is an ex-Seal who has been given a second chance at life [literally as he died in Afghanistan only to be brought back, endured multiple surgeries, spent weeks in a coma followed by months in a VA hospital trying to regain the use of his body]. She is a 'princess' - wealthy, loved, devoted to her family and her art - who sees her beloved father murdered, is shot by the murderer, accused of BEING the murderer by the machinations of the ultimate bad guy, and pursued by both good and bad guys.
They both end up in San Luis, a small, touristy, coastal town in Baja Sur. He is fighting to regain his health, she is fighting to regain some segments of her life. They are drawn to each other when he rescues her from drowning and he appoints himself her protector. He knows she is afraid but she refuses to tell him anything... And the ultimate bad guy hires an assassin to find and kill her.
Warning - there is one scene where the baddie kills her cat - suggest you flip rapidly past this [I did] if you are an animal lover.
On the plus side, I will look for more of the author's romantic suspense books - I've read her erotic ones [written as Lisa Marie Rice] and enjoyed most of them. However, if you're looking for frequent, detailed sex scenes - stick with Lisa Marie Rice. The h/h eventually get there but it takes many, many pages. Kind of charming, actually!
