Oh Happy Day!!!  I love finding a new author who hits all the right buttons.  Martine Marchand has written a sexy, heart-pounding, romantic, kick ass book.  This book deserves to be discovered.  It makes me want to twirl and sing!  Love twirling and singing.  Think Julie Andrews on a mountian top.Larissa shot a intruder 2 years ago.  She is self sufficent and confident of her ability to take care of herself when she needs to.  She just hopes she doesn't need to again.  But she knows that the intruder, Brian Sparrow has not given up.  She lives in a state of awareness ready for him to try again.Chase is a retired Special Forces super stud.  He misses the rush of a mission and takes a job recovering the runaway wife of a wealthy businessman.  Yeah, that sounds about right except the wealthy businessman is not on the up and up.  He is downright SHADY.When Chase takes Larissa the results are a heart pounding, panty dropping, cross country kidnapping.  Yes, he kidnaps her!  She can't see his face (ski  mask) but she can appreciate his body and his voice.  (snooth baby)  Love a good voice.  With the kidnapper and the kidnapee getting closer, you would think that he is going to not turn her over the stalker serial killer.  But NOOOOO.  He does and that is only 50% into the book.  You know I don't do spoilers....but hold on to your twirling skirt 'cause baby it is getting good up in here!There are gold toothed thugs, mean FBI ladies, Larissa's smart mouth, and Chase's total emotional shut down.  Throw in some more bad a$$ Special Forces guys, a gay hair dresser, oh, and a porn mogal and My my....have you got a story!Chase and Larissa are great characters.  They aren't wimpy but they have moments of self doubt as all of us do.  The story moves at a quick pace but is long enough that you connect to the characters.  I hope, hope, hope that we get more of the Special Forces friends.Great first work Ms Marchand.  Keep 'em coming!
