Book Review: COWBOY UP SEAL FANS
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a great read, originally published in 1997 and at just 245 pages, Brockmann still manages to spin a surprisingly deep adventure story. Our hero here is a true-blue Montana cowboy, however that doesn't stop him from going all Troubleshooter-ish in the hunt for his imprisoned brother. Throw in a corrupt foreign government, assorted spies, bad guys and a heartbreaking romance, that although doomed from the beginning exudes so much sexual chemistry you just gotta hope, maybe, somehow... Well lets just say its unputdownable.
When Kayla Grey learns that her fiancé might not have been killed while on assignment in war-torn San Salustiano but is in fact being held prisoner, she travels to Montana to enlist the help of Liam's older brother Cal Bartlett. In the hopes of, if not rescue then at least closure.
Caught in a freak snowstorm on her way to the Bartlett ranch, Kayla's first meeting with Cal is during her own rescue. As she thaws out in front of the fireplace the pair are immediately and inexplicably drawn to each other and this is one sexy scene. Quickly extinguished however when Cal learns that she was engaged to his brother. Now Cal only see's Kayla as `forbidden' This doesn't stop the sparks from continuing to fly between them though.
Because Kayla's information is based on a rumour from a stranger Cal is initially resistant to the idea that his brother might still be alive. He also doesn't know if he could bear the pain of losing Liam all over again if the reported sighting are false. Of course the bottom line is he can't let Kayla go on her own. This is when the story really takes off; with motorcycle chases through the jungle, bullets flying and palpable sexual tension. Yeehaw, this is one cowboy I enjoyed seeing on a motorcycle.
As our pair grows closer to each other and finding Liam, Cal becomes increasingly torn between guilt and longing. If they do somehow find his brother alive now, he'll lose the woman he loves. And isn't it heartbreaking to see a hero not afraid to cry.
My only problem with this book was the abrupt resolution to a great story. It would have been nice if we'd been allowed another 20 pages to flesh out what could have been a super exciting ending.
