Silent Threat

Ecotherapist Annie Murray is hoping that she can have success with her newest patient, Cole Makani Hunter. Cole is dealing with PTSD as well as physical limitations including deafness. Annie's job is to help Cole relax, but little does she know that Cole has been assigned to the Hope Hill facility to find out who there has been selling military secrets. Their attraction to each other grows as Annie is dealing with the escalating attentions of a stalker, and Cole becomes protective of her.

Silent Threat is a good introduction to the Mission Recovery series. The romance takes center stage in this novel that includes several mysteries that enhance the story. By the end of the book, there have been enough clues that the reader is able to determine the solution to all of the questions that have been raised throughout the story. While several deeper issues are intelligently handled, some of the challenges of being deaf aren't as well developed. Annie and Cole are likable characters, but the chemistry between them is lacking. Overall, Silent Threat is a good read that could have had better execution.

Fabulous new series! With a less than perfect hero and lots of anxieties to overcome! Annie is an eco-therapist and is one of the therapists at Hope Hill. She is also the softest hearted person ever! She can't say no to an animal on trouble and as such she shares her home with a donkey, some llamas and a pig...oh and a pack of baby skunks! Cole is still coming to terms with the loss of his hearing and an injury to his arm. He has been in a pretty dark place but when a former commander asks him to undertake a recon mission at Hope Hill after leaked secrets were traced back to the facility, he thinks the whole set up is a lot of baloney. But even this crusty old veteran falls under the spell of Annie and her kinds hippy dippy new age mumbo jumbo! But there is more than treason afoot. There is also a stalker ex boyfriend and a newer, darker secret admirer that Annie has to deal with. Cole will do what he can but he doubts some of his skills now due to his physical limitations. Great story. I was a read brain twister, trying to figure out who was doing what. Can't wait for more!
