Going Down (Holding Out for a Hero Series #1) [NOOK
Book]
OVERVIEW:
Eleanor
Owen needs to get out of Chicago and quick. It's not that she doesn't want to
obey the subpoena to testify against her drug-trafficking ex-boyfriend. It's
making it to the witness stand alive, should a dirty cop make good on his
threats.
Tiny,
remote Wyattville, Oregon, looks like the perfect place to disappear, but it's
hard to blend into the woodwork when one of the town's infamous namesakes sends
her heart racing. Worse, Mr. Tall, Hot and Packing is the town sheriff, which
means she should stay as far away from him as possible.
Tyson
Wyatt is positive the sexy new girl in town is hiding something. Question is,
what? He vows to feel out her secrets-including what she feels like beneath
him. Preferably naked. Until then, he's not buying the story she's selling.
Their
chemistry is sheet-melting hot, and Ellie realizes much too late that
the man with the badge is as dangerous to her heart as her ex is to her life
Here’s
what I think…
It
is becoming apparent that I am a title junkie! What woman, or man, would not
find themself drawn to this book by the title alone? Wjen you add in the cover
shot… Well, hello there!
This
is a pretty good novella that introduces us to the three main couples that will
be showcased in the Holding Out For A Hero Series. The three brothers:
Army soldier, Sheriff, and Fireman, and the women who capture their hearts
(although not without some difficulty): a yoga instructor, an attorney, and a
baker.
Going
Down’s main story
if about Eleanor, Ellie, Owen, who finds herself running from Chicago to avoid
testifying at the trial of her ex-boyfriend. No, she is not some timid, mousy
frightened woman in need. She decides as far west as possible and sets her
sights on Wyattville, Oregon. She only has to lay low…
Enter
Tyson Wyatt, as of THE Wyatt’s that the town is named for, and hometown
sheriff. His decision to make like a good neighbor, slash sheriff and meet the
new girl in town. I’ll just say their first meeting ignites his cop’s
instincts. Can our Sheriff get the truth out of Ellie and keep her safe without
losing his heart?

Oh My! That is very nice cover. *pets the pretty* I am in love with Samhain authors. So far I have loved every one that I Have read.Although there are not a ton of them I have read yet, I have high hopes each time I know Samhain is the publisher and have yet to be disappointed. I have a Shellie Steven book that I have yet to read in my TBR, but I can't remember what one it is. Looks like I just moved it up. :) I am definitely interested in this series. Who doesn't love a hot man in a public service uniform? Is is getting hot in here? Phew! Thanks very much for the review. I will definitely be reading Ms. Steven sooner than anticipated. :)
