I was looking forward to reading more about the men who had helped to rescue Aron McCoy in 'I'll Remember You'.  Well, having read 'Thunderbird', Kyle Chancellor's story, I can say that Sable and Ryan over-delivered! I rank this book with the VERY BEST of Sable's work.  I was held captive by this story from the very beginning, becoming quickly invested in the characters and their stories.  I had no idea where the story would take me, but I went along quite willingly.Kyle 'Thunderbird' Chancellor played football at UT alongside Aron & Joseph McCoy.  On the biggest day of his young life, he has his heart crushed and left the world behind... the world of football, his family in Austin, and his broken heart.  He served in the Marines overseas and was a natural leader.  When he finally returns home, he doesn't want to join the family oil business and foundation to the exclusion of all else.  Kyle has felt what it is like to be part of a team and to make a difference in lives of people who need help.  He forms the 'Equalizers' out of the group of men he served with and trusts with his life, and together they take on challenges like finding people who have gone missing.  The skills of each man in the group combine synergistically to make them more effective as a whole and all under the leadership of the Thunderbird.  Kyle becomes an advocate for stem cell research hoping to find cures for genetic diseases like the one his former girlfriend died of, having hidden her illness from Kyle.  After one of the Equalizers loses his young sister to a psychopath who lured her into his clutches using the internet social media sites, Kyle is also adamant that limits and accountability on the internet are needed to keep other young women from meeting the same fate.  Through a series of events Kyle begins a run to become the governor of Texas.  Though he is not unfamiliar with living a life in the limelight due to his family's prominence and his work with their foundation, he learns that being in politics is a whole other matter... one in which he finds himself targeted by friend and foe alike.  And privacy?! His campaign manager Ben doesn't know the meaning of the word, and of course neither does the press.At a young age Hannah Montenegro lost her mother  from ALS.  Upon her mother's death, her father obtained forged documents and brought Hannah and her brother Andre from Mexico to America illegally to try to get better medical help for Andre who also suffered from ALS.  Beloved by her brother, she was no more than a servant to her father, never getting any opportunities to experience life outside of working to help provide for the family and caring for her brother.  Hannah has lived in constant fear of being discovered as an illegal.  Hannah works as for a janitorial company during the day, and although she's completed a course in bookkeeping she is too afraid of being discovered as an illegal if she applied for a new job, so she keeps cleaning.  The one passion which gives her solace is her love of flowers, a love she'd shared with her mother, and the small garden she maintains in pots outside their small apartment.  Not only does Hannah have a green thumb, but the meaning and language of flowers is a subject in which she is well versed.One night when Hannah's father is home with Andre, Hannah's friends seize the moment and take Hannah clubbing.  She is out of her element, and about ready to leave when she meets our Thunderbird.  They talk a little, dance, and ...  Then, Kyle is called away for an Equalizer mission and months separate Kyle and Hannah.  When they happen upon one another again, Kyle is overjoyed while Hannah is mortified.  She doesn't want Kyle to know that she cleans for a living.  And there is the constant dark cloud over her head about her status as an illegal.  At the time, her father is in Mexico with Andre for his mother's funeral and to try to get Andre into a special ALS treatment program.  Free for once, Hannah is able to enjoy some time with Kyle and give into her desires (and his!).  Then her father appears back on the scene and once again Hannah and Kyle are separated.  Hannah has had her heart broken by Kyle.  When Kyle realizes the truth of the situation and how he wronged Hannah, he tries to find her to no avail.Destiny brings Hannah back to the U.S. in need of the Equalizers' help.  When the mission is over and Kyle discovers that it's Hannah they've just helped, he is beside himself with joy & apologies for the way he hurt her.  Kyle vows to never be separated from Hannah again.But... Kyle is the Republican candidate for Governor of Texas, and Hannah is an illegal immigrant who used to clean his office...  she knows she can be his downfall, but prays for a way for them to stay together.  After all, they are soul mates, right?  So read this delicious romance (nobody does erotic romance like Sable Hunter and when you team her with Ryan O'Leary... you'd better store this book in a fireproof vault, it's so hot!) and find out what becomes of our prince and his cinderella!  You will go through many emotions while reading the story, but disappointment will not be one of them!(I'm thrilled the Equalizers will be getting their own books, and I call TAG! on Jet!!! ha!)
