Born Brave

Laurie Lewis has always wanted to prove herself to her FBI colleagues. She gets that opportunity when she is asked to impersonate a Montbellan princess. She bears a striking resemblance to the royal and has the confidence and talent to make the situation work.James'Hawk' Stone is an ex-cop that is brought in for the assignment. He is to portray a royal bodyguard.When Hawk and Laurie meet, sparks immediately fly. They are hard pressed to find a balance between work and their warring feelings for each other.All the while, sinister forces plot to kidnap the pregnant princess. Can Laurie and Hawk make it work?I am new to Ruth Wind's work but will most assuredly check out some of her other books. She crafted Laurie and Hawk incredibly well and they fit perfectly into the existing Firstborn Sons framework.A few plot holes kept this from being a 4.5-5 star book for me. Laurie has a large scar on her arm, and this was not addressed. How can Laurie be mistaken for the princess with a large scar?Still, this was a fantastic book! I will look for more of Ms. Wind's books in the future!

Good, quick mystery, in the First Sons series, with a sexy, sweet romance. Continues the Montebello series.

I waited a long time for a new book from this author and she didn't disappoint me with this story... It's a sweet love story bewteen two people who shouldn't..couldn't fall on love on the job but they do anyway. The anticipation between Laurie and Hawk is intense and even though the reader knows there must be a happy ending in this type of book, it's a well written ending.This book is in a series called 'Firstborn Sons' and I was compelled to find the others in the series to see how they match up. If this is your first Ruth Wind book you surely won't be disappointed. Happy reading.
