Publisher's summary

WHEN DANGER ARRIVES, REAL MEN TAKE ACTION

Dakota (Dak) Navarro, wealthy entrepreneur, international playboy and jet-setter, arrives in Miami for the wedding of his friend, Andrew Logan. He is hoping to see Dr. Amelia Courson, the woman he met two years earlier at another wedding—that of his good friend and her brother, Stonewall Courson.

Dr. Amelia Courson is a doctor who feels that lately she is taking care of everyone but herself. She is long overdue for a vacation and wants to let go and get wild. She has heard about Dak’s “love-them-and-leave-them”, “no-strings-attached” attitude, and since she is not looking for love either, Amelia feels Dak is just what this doctor orders.

Dak is a man of action and is ready to whisk Amelia away on his private jet to an exotic location…for R, R and R—rest, relaxation and rolling between the sheets.

What Dak does not count on is keeping them both alive when danger comes knocking at their door.

Good book

The narrator’s voice for the female main character was very bad. Some of the other characters speech pattern were off. If you ignore this, the story line was good.

Loved This Adventure...

As usual Ms. Jackson creates a great family friendly and connected story. Loved all the characters, think my favorite was Syl. Mr. Smith needs to work on those word ending in "n". His pronunciation was sooooo distracting. He is a guy with a great voice and a little swagger in his work but he needs to work on those "n's". Thanks for another great ride Ms. J.

WOW,WOW

I loved the mystery in this book and the action. This was different and the love and action balanced the entire book. It was nice that the women in the story did have the ability to take care of themselves like in the other stories with Stonewalls wife the detective and Dr. Randy. This lets women know that they don’t have to continue to be victims, that they can defend themselves against all dangers that come their way.

The Men of Action kicks much butt!

Dax Navarro once employed Stonewall's Courson as a Protector however the tables have now turned and Dax has to take some serious action to save the life of Dr. Amelia Courson sister to Stonewall and Dax's lady love! I love how each of these series take on a life of their own while maintaining some connection to the characters in the preceding series! it is this type of seamless writing of romance novels that made me a fan of the prolific Mrs. Brenda Jackson in the first place. Her way of weaving a story together still captures and keeps my reading attention! Just as I read all of her print novels to the end usually in one sitting, I do the same with her audiobooks too! Thank you Mrs. Jackson!!!
