GOOD MORNING!!!!!! Hope everyone is having a GREAT week. I have picked 3 winners for the Cherry Adair book, AFTERGLOW.....JoAnna Becker, Anna Cade and Elizabeth Powers.....All have been contacted....CONGRATS.... Remember you will not receive until end of March.....
ALSO.....4 days until Allison Pangs book is released....REMEMBER....if you want a chance to win that FABULOUS read then you must leave a comment on the post for A SLIVER OF SHADOW............I will pick a winner on Monday!!!!!!
I have been a reading machine. And I have been loving it. Today we are gonna talk about a FABULOUS book by a LOVELY lady.....
I LOVE the Dark Ops series by Catherine Mann..... Protector comes out on March 6. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak. I have to admit I was confused when I started reading her Elite Force series. I thought she was done with the Dark Ops. I was tickled when Captain Chuck Tanaka got his book.
TRUST, LOVE …AND LIES.
After barely surviving enemy torture, Captain Chuck Tanaka doesn’t trust himself to do more than ride a desk—but new orders leave him no choice. Assigned to the investigation of a mob boss whose luxury cruise ship is reportedly a hub for terrorist activity, Tanaka goes undercover. His target: Jolynn Taylor, the mob boss’s daughter
As a child, Jolynn saw her beloved uncle murdered. Since then, she’s stayed far away from her father’s crooked empire. But when he falls ill, she returns, hoping to mend the gap between them. Instead, she finds herself on the run, one step ahead of unknown enemies. The only thing keeping her alive is the man she knows as Charles Tomas, the only man she’s ever been able to trust.
Unfortunately, he’s also the man determined to destroy her family…
I loved what Catherine Mann wrote on her acknowledgment page. "Captain Chuck Tanaka whispered from the pages of Defender, give me my own book." He demanded in Renegade, "I deserve my own happily ever after!" I sooo agree, in reading all these FABULOUS books it always screamed to me that he needed and deserved his own. But then I am a greedy SOB, and I want EVERYONE TO GET ONE....as Oprah says....
I LOVED going back and revisiting characters, especially one of my FAVES.... Protector is fast paced, fun, sexy and a thrill ride. Catherine Mann has another winner in this military romantic suspense. I am tickled to tell you Catherine is coming to do a live chat on the blog, March 14th at 9pm est. time. She will be giving away a copy of Protector on the chat......
Not only will she be giving away Protector that night..... Catherine will also give away 2 copies on March 1st to a lucky commenter. Soooooo, let's do the question thing I am soooo fond of.... Have you read Catherine Mann???? If so, what's your FAVE??? If not, no worries.... Everyone who leaves a comment is in the drawing.....
DARK OPS SERIES
DEFENDER
HOTSHOT
RENEGADE
PROTECTOR
This contest is for US & Canada only per authors request......Do not fret there will always be more.....;-)
THANKS SOOOO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY....I hope your as excited as I am. Please show Catherine some LOVE and have fun commenting.....PLEASE LEAVE YOUR EMAIL INFO IN THE COMMENTS...ITS GETTING HARD TO TRACK EVERYONE DOWN.....THANKS..........
PS...No worries, if the Elite Force is your FAVE....a new one comes out in May and Catherine will be back and doing another giveaway....If you are like me, you LOVE THEM ALL....LOL....
XXOOXX

ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle!! Hope you enjoy PROTECTOR. :)
DeleteI've been waiting for this release!!!! So soon, yet so far away :/
ReplyDeleteLOL, Lynn! I hear ya! I have a book due to turn on March 1 - so part of me feels like March 1 is sooooo close, and the part of me that wants to see PROTECTOR on the shelves can't wait til March!
DeleteI don't think I've read any of her books, so I would love to give one a try. You can email me at bonnie0228@embarqmail.com. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie! Thank you for giving my books a try - hope you enjoy my military heroes. :)
DeleteI have not read any of her books, but would love too! I just bought myself an ipad and need to fill it up with books.I love to read your reviews!
ReplyDeleteShelley, congrats on the iPad! Very cool! Thanks for adding a book of mine to your list. :)
DeleteWhere to start... Been a fan along time..
ReplyDeleteSpecial Operations Series
On Target - I love these type of books where they are divorced or getting divorced and circumstances throw them together..
Blaze of Glory - This is what happens when you put a "Postal" man and a Uptight woman together..
Code of Honor - another favorite type - Guys falls for best friends girl but does the honorable thing and stands back.. When best friend dies and girl is in trouble he is there.. This one had a twist...
Landi$ Brothers Series - My favorite of this series is His Expectant Ex. What Sebastian went through to win back the love of his Ex - sigh.
Elite Force Series
Cover Me - This one takes place in Alaska. This is her first in a series about pararescue men, elite U.S. Air Force heroes
Hot Zone - LOVED THIS BOOK - When Hot Zone starts out we find our heroine Amelia and her newly adopted 13 month old nephew Joshua under a hotel after an earthquake has ravaged the Bahama island. After a search and rescue dog points to there location Hugh manages to climb down to them
Under Fire - COMING IN MAY - Cant wait to read Liam and Rachel story.. We were teased with them in Hot Zone...
Dark Ops Series
Defender, Hot Shot and Renegade - all great stories about Air Force men (yes Air Force - NOT Navy Seals for a change)
Cant wait to read the new book.
LOVE IT.....Everytime you impress me....

I love her books. While my favorite is usually the one I am reading now. I will say my overall fav might be Defender since its the one that got me started.

No I haven't read Catherine's books yet, which is strange because I Love these warrior kind of books!
ReplyDeletesallans d at yahoo dot com
I just finished reading Hot Zone and I absolutely LOVED it! Love Hugh Franco!! I just bought Cover Me for my kindle. Out of order but cannot wait to read it. Looking forward to more in the series!
ReplyDeleteCatherine is a new author to me. I have had my nook for almost a year and I'm going crazy with all the new books and authors! It literally has changed my life to have an ereader.
ReplyDeleteI am adding this series to my TBR list, toward the top. It is always a good book when so many people (such as on this blog) recommend it so highly. Can't wait to read Catherine Mann!
