Almost sixty years after a fortune in looted World War II treasure vanished from a captured German train, a man and a woman who have never met are thrust into a world of danger . . . and desire
Amy Mallory chafed at the discipline and authoritarian control she was forced to endure growing up in a military family. Never, she vowed, would she fall for a man in uniform. But now, years later, as a history professor reading her late grandfather’s secret files, she discovers a dangerous, enticing world she wants to experience for herself.
Lieutenant Colonel Lucien “Irish” Flaherty was taught by his grandfather, General Sam Flaherty, to believe in three honor, duty, and country. His faith is shaken when his mentor is implicated in a presidential advisory commission’s investigation into the disappearance of valuable artwork that was captured from a Nazi train. Determined to clear his grandfather’s name, he uncovers dangerous secrets that link his past to that of beautiful stranger Amy Mallory. But neither of them suspects that the truth they seek to uncover is deadlier than they can imagine.
Dump it! The more I tried to understand what's going on, the more I found myself wanting to chuck it. Very few books do that to you.
Patricia has her background raise your expectations sky high only to bring it down crumbling in a span of just the first 50 pages. World War 2 scenario, Nazi train, stolen paintings..you'd think that would get you somewhere good but not in this book.
Two forced love stories, a poor mistreated dog looking for affection, stupid killers who can"t manage to catch a person even if their life depended on it...just don't let me get started. Sorry, just keep this off your bookshelves.
Do not bother buying this book. I abandoned it after 2 tries. Amy is a highly irritating heroine- thinks she knows better than everyone. And I really can't get over the fact that the hero uses the name Irish, it really jars.
And don't get me started on Sally and Dustin. The author seems to think the plot twist at the end would curry favour. She might have written a better book if she hadn't bothered.
