Rating: 5 out of 5

Borrowed Time is a solid piece of romantic suspense. Emily Brennan must protect her brilliant, eccentric brother Colin from a greedy military weapons developer.  Brian Morrison is the security officer first bent on catching Emily and later protecting her.  Maureen Miller does a nice job of weaving the necessary danger elements and the growing attraction between her hero and heroine. I especially enjoy her way with descriptions and mood. The story moves along at a compelling pace to keep the reader wondering what will happen next. The McGuffin of the piece is a high-tech submersible that Colin designed. The technical elements seemed plausible and believable.  The back story emotional motivations for the characters also worked and were introduced in bits and pieces along the way.  I would have liked to have seen the bad guy go down with a bit more drama, but, all in all, it is a satisfying read. A nice book to cozy up with on a cold winter night. Enjoy.
