TROUBLEMAKER by Linda Howard is a suspenseful novel filled
with humor thanks to Tricks the golden retriever. This golden
retriever has the personality of a human and it's unbelievable
to see the things she does. Not only is Tricks entertaining
but so are the people in this small town. They are like one
big family that look out for each other. I enjoy reading any
novel by Linda Howard because she has such a unique ability
to make her work suspenseful but also filled with humor.
TROUBLEMAKER is
a story about one person who is finally getting their life
back on course and one who is fighting to get his life back.
Paramilitary operative Morgan Yancy has just returned from a
mission and is looking forward to some rest and relaxation.
Morgan is blind sided when he is ambushed and almost killed.
His supervisor is concerned because the unknown enemy
is threatening his elite squad. So until they can figure out
where this threat is coming he decides to send Morgan to
a remote location in Hamrickville, West Virginia which happens
to be where his ex-stepsister lives, whom he has a contentious
relationship with. Police Chief Isabeau "Bo" Maran is not
happy to find a mysterious stranger in her driveway especially
when she learns that her ex-stepbrother is behind it. She
wants to turn down his request but he makes her an offer she
can't refuse.
With all the secrets surrounding Morgan and the attempt on his
life makes Bo try to keep her distance. Morgan is frustrated
by his weakened condition and having to rely on someone for
help. Keeping their distance proves to be impossible and
Tricks, the golden retriever, provides plenty of entertainment
to draw them to each other. There are so many instances of
Tricks' almost "human" behaviour but the one of her reaction
to Morgan and Bo in bed is hilarious. When Morgan's cover is
blown he and Bo learn just how dynamic a team they make.
TROUBLEMAKER is a romp to read -- focused on the importance
of trust and
finding a balance in a relationship to become the best romance.
A thrilling, fast-paced novel of romantic suspense from
sensational New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author Linda Howard.
For Morgan Yancy, an operative and team leader in a
paramilitary group, nothing comes before his job. But when
he’s ambushed and almost killed, his supervisor is
determined to find out who’s after the members of his elite
squad—and why. Due to worries that this unknown enemy will
strike again, Morgan is sent to a remote location and told
to lay low and stay vigilant. But between a tempting
housemate he’s determined to protect and a deadly threat
waiting in the shadows, keeping under the radar is proving
to be his most dangerous mission yet.
The part-time police chief of a small West Virginian
mountain town, Isabeau “Bo” Maran finally has her life
figured out. She’s got friends, a dog, and a little money in
the bank. Then Morgan Yancy shows up on her doorstep. Bo
doesn’t need a mysterious man in her life—especially a
troublemaker as enticing and secretive as Morgan.
The harder they fight the intense heat between them, the
closer Morgan and Bo become, even though she knows he’s
hiding from something. But discovering the truth could cost
Bo more than she’s willing to give. And when Morgan’s cover
is blown, it might just cost her life.
