Able-Bodied

This is the first book I've ever read by Karen Foley, and I can definitely say, I'll be looking for her other books, too! I really loved this story. Hannah is a petite and sweet New Age shop owner. Ransom is a big, bad Delta Force soldier. And when they meet, things get really steamy! I really liked how Foley developed the characters in this story; I felt like I really got a picture of who these characters were, and the, ahem, love scenes were very hot! Also, I didn't feel like she just put sex in for sex's sake,but wove it well into the story. I heartily recommend "Able-Bodied"!!

Wow, I'd give 5 stars to this book for its cover alone, LOL, but that's not really what matters, is it? Wait, let me take another look at the hottie... Yup, this is one 5-star hunk, no doubt about it. *drools* Anyway, moving on... This was a fast paced and enjoyable read, with a hot and sexy H/h (Ransom and Hannah) who set the pages on fire. I had to suspend some disbelief to enjoy the story - Hannah's "healing touch" was somewhat hard to swallow considering this isn't a PNR novel - but I read HQ Blaze novels exclusively for mindless fun and, of course, for the love scenes. So as long as the H/h have good chemistry, I'm in for the ride. ;) On that count, Ransom and Hannah delivered. They were very likable characters, and the attraction and sexual tension between them were well written and believable. I'm not sure I bought the love between them, though. At one point, I wondered if he didn't find himself so "connected" with her only because she could get rid of his debilitating migraines with her touch. There was also a secondary plot involving a dirty cop who's after Hannah. It provided a good action scene near the end of the book, but it made me think Hannah was a bit TSTL. I mean, if you're on the run, you don't open your new shop in your new "hiding" location using the same name it had before, do you? Thankfully, Ransom and his team were there to save the day when the bad guys came after her. All in all, I had a lot of fun reading this quick, hot book. And I might even keep it, just for the cover. ;)
