Interpol agent Stella Carson's life has had a number of ups
and downs but in the last few months she felt like she was
in a FREE FALL. Five months earlier she had met and fell in
love with Pararescueman Jose "Cuervo" James during an op in
Africa. She had been part of the pick up team to pull the
SEALS and Pararescuemen from the water and get them to
their pickup point. Their "dates" following that had been
fantastic but when she made her hopes of home and family
known, he told her he didn't want children ever. They
parted ways but left a piece of their hearts with the other.
Staff Sergeant Jose Cuervo James is five years sober, but
losing Stella was heading him quickly to the breaking
point. Then he is given the call and becomes a part of a
multi force rescue team. This team is to rescue foreign
exchange students who had been captured in Africa. It
wasn't until he was aboard that he finds out Stella is
among them and that she was on camera and specifically
asked for him by saying "I really could use some Jose
Cuervo". With her help they manage the rescue, but find
there is another student. The student panics and almost
gets them all killed when he sets off landmines. After
hours of slogging through the jungle, the chopper finally
comes back for them, having had to take off when the mines
went off. After the debriefing they find out they will be
working together again as part of the security team for the
vice-presidents wife's visit. As they work together both
get a lot of answers, some neither expected. And during the
course of the security job, Cuervo faces his biggest fear ...
the possibility of life without his heart.
My advice for reading this book is put on a seatbelt
because FREE FALL is going to take you on a wild ride. With
all the twists and turns, peeks into the past, and the
surprise surrounding Stella's mother, the action and
emotions are non-stop. It is the perfect book for romance
readers, action junkies and mystery lovers. Catherine Mann
has another winner with FREE FALL.
Pararescueman Jose "Cuervo" James can't imagine committing
to anything other than his job. But when he parachutes deep
into East Africa to rescue wounded Interpol agent Sarah
Carson—a woman from his past—he finds himself ensnared in
more ways than he can count. Racing through the jungle to
stop separatists from attacking the U.S. embassy, Jose and
Sarah must call upon their training to survive. Could this
be their second chance at passion...or will the rebels end
their future before it begins?
