Green Beret Bodyguard - Carol Ericson (HI #1326 - Jan 2012)

Series: Brothers in Arms (Book 4)
 

He may have lost his memory, but not his mercenary skills. And once Jack Coburn learned his real name, he sought out the woman who could help him piece together the rest of his past. Lola Famosa had hired the green beret months ago to find her missing brother. And that mission had nearly cost him his life.

But locating the lovely doctor presented new dangers. Someone was determined to keep Lola from her quest, and her life hung in the balance. Jack's first concern might have been regaining his memory, but now it was all about protecting Lola. For she was the one thing this loner was determined to keep.
 


Terrific conclusion to the series.  I really liked Jack - he was a great alpha hero.  He managed to get himself to a safe place, with the help of a kid, then use his instincts to get to Miami and Lola.  Once she realized who he was, she stuck to him like glue.  They were able to help each other - she helped him with regaining his memory and he helped keep her safe and figure out who was coming after her. The two of them built a good relationship very quickly thanks to the stress. I really liked the way that the suspense kept building.  I also kept hoping he would remember the other members of his team.  The ending was a great edge of the seat conclusion.

Top Gun Guardian - Carol Ericson (HI #1320 - Dec 2011)

Series: Brothers In Arms (Book 3)

Buzz Richardson survived as a navy pilot and a covert operative by following one rule: handle the unexpected. Partnering up with Raven Pierre, his ex-fiancee, who's still his sexiest fantasy come true, might be against all the rules. Buzz had already learned the hard way that a family...a husband...had no place in Raven's well-thought-out future. But even with an unknown assassin threatening to take down Raven and the little girl she'd risked her life to hide, Buzz saw a side of the UN translator he'd never thought possible. Keeping this new Raven safe only resurrected the desire between them...and letting her go this time was the one thing he wasn't willing to handle.



Good book. I really liked the way that Raven related to Malika - even though she way terrified of making a mistake with a child. Her little brother had drowned when she was a child, and she blamed her parents for not paying enough attention, so she was afraid of making the same mistake. When Raven had to spend time with Malika she learned that she had the ability to be a mother after all. Meanwhile, Buzz was coping with his own guilty feelings over the deaths of his parents. He was determined to make sure that nothing happened to Malika or Raven while they were with him. The suspense of trying to find out who was after Raven was good. I'm looking forward to the next book to see what happens with Jack.
