Private Maneuvers (Wingman Warriors)

Rating:
Summary: disappointing
Review: Private Maneuvers was my first Catherine Mann title, and possibly my last. I have Strategic Engagements waiting but my disappointment with Private Maneuvers has made me set it aside for another day. I love military romances a la Brockmann and Lovelace and the other glowing reviews here for this title made me buy it. I don't expect much from a Silhouette title as I prefer the longer single titles (Merline Lovelace's Silhouettes being the one exception). Still, I was stunned by how irritated I got with the internal dialogue in the two main characters, especially the heroine. She was going on like a 13 or 14 year old with the hots for a guy for the first time. I wouldn't have minded if we were told once or twice but every other paragraph had Darcy's thoughts about how HOT she thought Max was. Again and again we are subjected to her internal remarks concerning her pathetic attempts to engage Max's attention. How could Darcy not come across as silly, juvenile and pathetic? If this was one of the chick lits I could accept it but not when I thought I was settling down with a romantic-military thriller with mature, self-confident heroes and heroines.

Summary: They'll leave you breathless!
Review: The series tag line for the Wingmen Warriors isn't kidding about leaving you breathless... I adored this fast paced romance with a unique Guam setting and new Air Force characters to fall in love with. Max and Darcy are a dynamic pair who definitely deserve their happily ever after. Of course, Ms. Mann weaves in hints of upcoming Wingmen I can't wait to meet... Captain Daniel Baker sounds like surefire hero material to me. If you like action and miltary romance, Catherine Mann is an auto buy.

Summary: Consistently Superb
Review: Yet again, Catherine Mann brings us a superb book complete with serious relationship issues, authentic military research and witty dialogue. I love her characters and the way she breathes life into their journey. Now, I just need to figure out how to get a full night's sleep when her next all-nighter book comes out. It can't be too soon for me!
