Summary: Riley good!
Review: After featuring Ethan in Men of Courage, Ms. Foster turns to Riley Moore, an ex-SWAT and now crime-scene technician as the perfect alpha-male to cosy up to journalist Regina Foxworth. His protective instincts are alerted when someone has threatened Regina's life with arson, a side-swipe and a near-fatal sabotage to her new home. Riley believes teaching her defenses skill and her buying a feisty chihuahua isn't going to safeguard her life - and he suggests moving in with him. That's too close for comfort for Regina because her jerk-of-an-ex thinks her frigid and Riley's charms has infiltrated all her defenses. Lori Foster's latest may not be comparable to her excellent Impetuous but you know you cannot go wrong with a frosty read that guarantees quality entertainment with her immensely amicable characters like fireman Ethan, Rosie, Buck and Harris. Top it up with sizzling chemistry and the equation turns up to be a Riley good read.

Summary: Great read.
Review: After reading men of courage (Ethan's story) I couldn't wait to read about Riley & Regina. Regina is a reporter who is writing a story about Ethan. She goes to Riley to learn self defence after some disturbing incidents. No one believes her, except Riley. To keep her safe Riley moves her into his home with her little dog. The dog is hillarious. He has appointed himself Regina's personal bodyguard, a part Riley wants to be & a whole lot more. I read this book in a few hours, it was brilliant.

Summary: Have to agree with the reader from Michigan
Review: I don't get this story. I don't understand the raves. This is a throwback to all things the romance genre has tried to rise above. Neandrethal hero. Clueless heroine. Please, could we have characters who belong in the current decade? Who have some sort of redeeming and admirable qualities? I had to double check the copyright date to see if this was maybe an older reissue - like from the 1980s or something. Yikes. Run away!

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I read a lot of romance. My favorite authors include Linda Howard, Sandra Brown, Alison Kent, and Suzanne Brockmann, all of whom write wonderful, realistic alpha heroes.Recently someone told me that Lori Foster also writes a good alpha, and she's a bestselling author, so I decided to try one of her novels. I'm just sorry that novel happened to be Riley, because it's easily the worst romance I've ever read--and I've read some REALLY bad romances. The hero, Riley, goes beyond alpha in a bad way. He's aggressive, one-dimensional, and he's borderline sexual harassment material. There is nothing attractive in the least about this man. The heroine was just as one-dimensional--and stupid to boot. She's got someone trying to harm her, but when Riley tells her to get a protection dog, she gets a CHIHUAHUA. She's the typical, cliche innocent heroine from a bad 80's romance. The dog is probably added for comic relief, and I'll give the dog this--it's the most likeable and multi-dimensional character in the book--but it plays a huge, irritating role in the novel. And I'm a dog lover! As bad as the main characters are, the secondary ones are worse. The heroine's ex-fiance makes a cliche appearance as a cardboard cutout who is probably inserted into the novel just so Riley can flex his alpha muscles. What happens is that the guy comes across as such a jerk that not only is he unrealistic, but the fact that the heroine was engaged to him in the first place makes her look even dumber than she already appears to be. The plot was predictible, the characters one-dimensional, the dialogue stilted and the writing mediocre. Though the one positive about the book is that it is fast-paced, I will not pick up another of this author's books, and I'm giving this book my very first one-star rating.

Summary: Another hit by Foster...
Review: In this second installment of her Men of Courage series, Foster brings the reader Riley, a brooding and private man who has dealt with a wealth of hurts in the past. When he meets Regina Foxworth, he is the only one who believes her claims of someone trying to hurt her. While Regina goes about learning to defend herself, she learns more about Riley, whom she's more and more attracted to. Suddenly Regina finds a man that actually wants her and a man whom she doesn't freeze up when she's in bed with him. Foster doesn't dissapoint in American Heroes: Riley. With her normal lighthearted writing, twinged with just the right amount of emotion, the reader will go through this book in a day. Regina and Riley heal each other and their past hurts with a love that is rare. We also get the antics of Regina's Chihuahua, Butch, who Foster depicts as a four pound guard dog. Don't miss it!

Summary: We should be so lucky....................
Review: Lori Foster is one of the few authors that I don't have to browse thru the book to determined if I want to buy it. Never been disappointed with any of her work. The story grabs you from the get go and stays interesting thru the book. I just loved how she incorparated her own dog into the storyline - laughed my head off at the dogs attics. You read all the other reviewers story so I wont put mine down. I have read this book 4 times since I bought it (for there is always something you missed before). It's a keeper.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: Regina Foxworth is being stalked. She's taking self-defense from Riley Moore, who's not very impressed by her progress. So he moves her in with him. Moves her and her guard-dog, a Chihuahua named Butch. Together they don't just find who's stalking her, they also find something else. Something special. Something like...love? Lori Foster always Wows, and Riley is no exception...but it is exceptional!
