Summary: Undercover Protector
Review: Cassie Miles returns with her latest Intrigue, "Undercover Protector." A vengeful criminal has been released from prison and he's sworn revenge against Annie Callahan and her grandfather, the judge who put him away. That is hard enough for Annie to deal with. The arrival of her first love, the man who walked out of her life without a word, is worse. Michael Slade vows to protect Annie and her grandfather. But what secrets is Michael keeping from her, and can she trust him to stay this time when she needs him most?"Undercover Protector" isn't the best book from this author or the line but I did enjoy it the most out of this month's Intrigues. Miles has a strong voice and a pleasing storytelling style that will pull readers through from beginning to end. While there are a few rough spots in the story, I never lost interest for a moment. Although one big misunderstanding is foreseeable a mile away, it fortunately doesn't derail the plot like it could have. Annie and Michael's romance develops nicely, and the small town flavor is a nice added touch. Unfortunately, the title is a bit of a spoiler, since we don't find out the undercover aspect of Michael's mission until near the end. I still enjoyed "Undercover Protector." Fans of her "Captive Hearts" books last year won't want to miss it.

Summary: Not bad... worth a read...
Review: Pretty light reading, and quite predictable. The storyline was easy to follow, right to the mystery person! There were details dropped in a much too obvious way, that put a spotlight on the mystery. So for half of the story, you are reading for the romance factor of the characters, and wondering when they will see the obvious trail that you've already seen. Also, some of the reasoning wasn't very believable... but like I said... this is light reading, and the characters are charming to read about. The romance was a bit too corny, but the characters were charming and easy to like. The authors writing is very well actually, and I would be interested in reading more from her.
