"Star Spangled Bride" is the story of Gabe and Roanne. Basically the H saves the h, and then the h does the same for the hero in order to repay the debt.. except he ends up marrying her to save her life and that's the story. It was really, really boring though it started out well. Maybe I need a break from this binge of IJ I've been on. That being said, appreciated the sweet epilogue. Safe 2/5
Just enough romance and character development in such a short book, that you can't help but not put it down. Very strong willed female lead and typical male to save the day. I still enjoyed it to the end.
Loved this book from the first page to the last, so much suspense and love. Whenever I feel the need to read and not sure what to read, this is my book, have probably read 29 or more times!
ABE--A Larger-Than-Life Hero Who'd Always Be Her Light in the Darkness...
The last thing Gabe Falkner expected was to be rescued by a golden-haired angel, but photojournalist Ronnie Dalton would dare anything to free the man who'd saved her life years before! He'd never let anyone close enough to touch him, but Ronnie was a seductive blend of brash child and world-weary woman--and when he embraced her with reckless abandon, he felt an overwhelming sense of possession.
Bound to Him Body and Soul
Stunned by the electrifying heat of Gabe's touch, Ronnie felt at once utterly cherished and dangerously vulnerable. She yearned to belong to the man who'd been her inspiration, her secret fantasy, but she doubted she could ever be, part of his life. Gabe desperately wanted to give Ronnie something she valued as much as he did his freedom, but would destiny let them join their dreams forever?
