Page-turning!

The last thing Kathleen O'Connell wants is to go on assignment with Tanner Bennett. He's annoying, aggravating and argumentative...and that's only the A's. Yet, she's stuck with him until the assignment if done. Cpt. Tanner Bennett's personal mantra was never leave your wingman. He let his guard down once before with horrible results. Kathleen might not think she needs him on this investigation, but she does and he's not going anywhere. As a matter of fact, her need, as well as his, might go just a bit deeper than the investigation...it might go much deeper than either one of the anticipated.Intrigue, emotion, action...this book packs a wallop. Catherine Mann's Taking Cover is a page-turning tale that will get your blood pumping as it warms your heart.

Wingmen Warriors saga gets better & better!!

Kathleen O'Connell is a by-the-book Air Force doctor who has learned how to deal with top-gun pilots. However, there is one flyboy that has slipped past the professionalism she embraces. Captain Tanner "Bronco" Bennett is a hot shot pilot that Kathleen is forced to ground while he recovers from a back injury and he does not take her diagnosis kindly. Their witnessed disagreement gets them paired together on an important mission to investigate a C-17 accident which turns dangerous. Bronco and Kathleen are both strongly dedicated to their military careers but also have a shared history from twelve years past. Now as they delve into the investigation, the attraction they feel for each other grows, and their lives, as well as their careers, are on the line. TAKING COVER is another five star Wingmen Warrior story and the epilogue was one of the most warm-hearted, feel-good endings I have ever read. Bronco was an ideal hero, strong, sexy, endearing, good-looking, and honorable. I hope all the heroes in the C-17 Squadron are half as fantastic. For outstanding military romance be sure to add Catherine Mann to your book shopping list!

An intense and powerful read -- Highly recommended

Twelve years ago, a forbidden kiss stirred the souls of Tanner Bennett and Kathleen O'Connell. On that ill-fated night, Tanner learned of the carjacking, rape and murder of his beloved twin sister. In his darkest hours, Kathleen's kiss was a lifeline. These days Tanner lives by the squadron motto, "Anything. Anywhere. Anytime." He knows that nothing he does will bring his sister back, but good deed is like a smoothing balm over a raw wound. So being grounded by now Captain Kathleen O'Connell for pinched nerve frustrates him to no end. Especially when he is only six weeks from his rescheduled upgrade from copilot to aircraft commander. Kathleen believes that Tanner is as stubborn as he'd been at the Academy his freshman year. She had been in junior year, and their forbidden kiss could have had them both booted out of Academy. Their current clashes are legendary, and this latest grounding simply underscores their irritability toward one another. Unfortunately, their Squadron Commander overhears their arguing and gives them a new assignment. For the next month they will work together to investigate a C-17 accident. By getting away from the rest of the squadron, eating together, riding together, playing together, and spending every waking hour with each other things should settle out. Or not.Author Catherine Mann provides another powerful look at the people behind the uniform in TAKING COVER, the second novel of the "Wingmen Warriors" series. Kathleen is like a warrior goddess, independent and fierce. Tanner has fierce need to serve and protect, driven by the death of his sister. Their clashes spark strong chemistry, and their time together exacerbates the situation. Indeed, close proximity brings about strong emotion and intense motivation that results in violent clashes and wild need. The next book of this "Wingmen Warriors" series, UNDER SIEGE, will be available in February 2003. An intense and powerful read, TAKING COVER comes highly recommended.
