Rogue Soldier

Rogue Soldier by Dana Marton Harlequin Intrigue # 902 - February 2006 - SDDU series Book #5 Three years ago, Mike blew it with Tessa. When the Special Forces training went wrong, and Tessa ended up in the hospital and denied a place with SF, she blamed Mike. All it took was one more betrayal and she was gone. Mike always meant to find her and make it up to her but he'd been recruited by the SDDU and out on long missions. Tessa's been on assignment with the Army Corp. of Engineers doing testing in Alaska. She and her partner are attacked, leaving her partner dead and she captured. When Mike learns that Tessa's missing, he goes AWOL from the SDDU to find her. When he rescues her from her captors, he finds he's got even more trouble. They've stumbled onto arms dealers smuggling nuclear war heads to Russia. And even though the chemistry between them is still explosive, Tessa's never forgiven him. In the three years apart, both Tessa and Mike have changed. Tessa's matured. Mike's found that he's grown above that good 'ole boy attitude he and his pals had in the SF. Mike learns that part of loving Tessa, is trusting that she can look after herself. Tessa learns that she can trust Mike with her heart, and that his love won't smother who she is. Another great read from Ms. Marton! If you love action and adventure combined with passionate romance; you'll love this book! I did SDDU (Special Designation Defense Unit) series by Dana Marton The SDDU is an elite group compiled of agents from all the US agencies; CIA, FBI, SEALs, Special Forces; the best of the best. The SDDU is Homeland Security's special weapon against terrorism. Shadow Soldier / Secret Soldier The Sheik's Safety / Camouflage Heart Rogue Soldier / Protective Measures These are all incredible reads! If you like action, adventure and romance, these will not disappoint you. I love that Ms. Marton writes her heroines to be equally as brave and strong as her heroes.

Possibly #5 in the "SDDU" saga of covert agents [haven't located the Sheikh's book yet to ascertain the #] This story takes us to Alaska and some more arms dealings with Tsernyakov [although we still do not really met this villian]. Mike McNair has gone "AWOL" when he finds out the a former special agent, Tessa Nielsen is in danger. He hasn't forgotten her in the past 3 years. Boy, is Colonel Wilson po'd. McNair may lose his job. Tessa is still carrying a lot of garbage from when she walked away from McNair 3 years ago when his actions [of saving her] got her thrown out of Special Forces. She had lasted the longest of the 5 females trying out for the Unit. Of course, the powers that be were not likely to allow a female on the all male unit. [boy are these women stupid - they stir up the hormones and then wonder what the problem was]. But back to Alaska - with the snow storms and the bears [boy was that one good] and Brady Marshall on their trail, the events get a bit steamy. I can't believe that it was that easy to get to Siberia. [grin] A slow boat to Russia. Hormones are the devil to deal with. Mike called on his trusted friend, "Shorty" to rescue him and Tessa from the Russian tundra - war heads and TNT. They have the CIA and others searching for them making life a bit miserable. Tessa is another one of those mixed-up emotional women who tend to make themselves miserable. Another Excellent tale - great characters - good suspense - good plotting - great pace. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M - THIS is a keeper set with more to come - next up is PROTECTIVE MEASURES with Daniel DuCharme.

This book (Rogue Soldier) by Dana Marton grabbed my complete attention from the first page. If you like an action packed read with a hint of romance then you must read this book. I had to read the whole book in one day. I could not put it down. Awesome characters, so well defined that I could identify with every one of them. I just can't say enough about this book. I loved it so much that I have gone and purchased all of Dana Marton's books. Well, the ones that are still available. You better get yours now. This girl (Dana Marton) is going to be a star.
