Product Description
Navy Seal Lieutenant Luther Lindstrom is determined to clear the name of his Commanding Officer, Gabe 'Jaguar' Renault. One person who has the evidence that can clear him of the trumped up charges, and that is Hannah Geary. Hannah is in hot water herself, for she is being held in a Cuban prison. Luther knows to rescue her would put his own life in jeopardy, but the consequences outweigh the logic. Hannah Geary wakes up to the cold isolation of a Cuban prison. Having been trained to protect herself, her instincts go into high gear as she tries to find a way out of her dilemma. She is able to escape and runs straight into the arms of Lt. Lindstrom and Chief Westy McCaffey. The trio manages to escape the dangers of the compound and travel to safety. Although they are safe, they realize they must lay low until Commander Edware Lovett is captured and brought to justice. Their close quarters ignite feelings for each other they didn't anticipate. As danger is around every corner, will their love be given a chance to emerge?

Good Series June 25, 2008

I have been reading S. Brockmann and thought that this author might be worth a try. I found her books almost as good and well put together. I always love a good series and this is turning out to be one of them. What I really find nice about a series is the development of the characters. Another author I read, only because she is an Arizona author, has a problem with the character development between novels. Melton's books seem to be a little dark (shadowed may be a better word) in the beginning but they are worth the read.
 wonderful hero and heroine, not enough dialogue October 25, 2007

To start, I read MMelton's 'Next To Die' first and fell in love with that book, so then I started reading her previous books of this series. The great news is that her books get BETTER and better. The bad news is that I didn't like the older books as much as I enjoyed Next To Die, so I'll have to wait till a newer one comes out.
About this book, I really like the hero and heroine, alpha male and super girl. Hannah is strong, and not sitting there helpless waiting for rescue. And Lindstrom is an ex-football star who also have manners and modesty, a real hunk of a sweetheart.
But, there wasn't enough dialogue. The sizzle is not quite there. And the side story about another SEAL and the woman who only wanted to have a baby did not really tie in to this story; seems kind of thrown in, not adding much. Although I did enjoy their cooking scene, and who can resist a man who cooks chicken mole for you from scratch?? and of course, he has a nice body too.
Really a 4 1/2 star book September 21, 2007

In the Dark is the second book in this series that deals with 3 Navy SEALs - Gabe Renault (aka Jaguar - his story was the first book in the series Forget Me Not), Luther Lindstrom (aka Little John - his story is this book), and Chase McCaffrey (aka Westy - his story is in Time to Run).
In this book, Luther Lindstrom, a Navy SEAL, has been assigned to save and protect Hannah Geary. Hannah has mysteriously disappeared and Luther and his team have learned that she's being kept in Cuba. While he and his team try to rescue Hannah, she's saving herself and meets up with Luther and his team as she makes her escape from the cell where she's been held.
Hannah Geary, a CIA agent, was working with her partner on a suspected arms smuggling investigation when her partner was mysteriously killed. Now she's been kidnapped and in Cuba - what's going on? Why was she kidnapped but not killed like her partner?
After Hannah escapes from Cuba, she works with Luther to determine what her partner learned. They need this information as Gabe Renault is facing a court martial due to his actions in Forget Me Not. Luther is torn - he's attracted to Hannah but he needs information to save his commander. And just who is trying to get Hannah out of the way?
Along with the mystery is the romance between Luther and Hannah. Luther just broke off his engagement to his fiancee who was cheating on him. He knows what he wants in a relationship - he wants a woman who he can wants children and keep the home fires burning while he's away on missions. While he is attracted to Hannah, he knows - and Hannah agrees - that she's not that type of woman.
Hannah Geary is a wonderful heroine - strong and determined to figure things out. She's not content to stay at home and be protected. She's taking action - which doesn't always suit Luther.
As far as the mystery here, I found that, like in Forget Me Not, it was pretty easy to figure out the bad guy. But that didn't stop me from enjoying this book. It has a nice balance of romance and suspense (though I wouldn't have minded a bit more romance). There's also the secondary story of Sebastian and Leila, a romance first hinted at in Forget Me Not which gets resolved very nicely here.
I'm usually not that crazy about sequels - I figure - couldn't the author have figured out a different storyline instead of continuing something I just read? But it works here. In fact, I liked this book more than Forget Me Not - I think because the female heroine is such a strong intelligent woman. If you plan on reading Forget Me Not, be sure you read it before you read this book - if you read this book first and then go back to read Forget Me Not, you'll know the basic storyline and the bad guy of that book.
 Look elsewhere for better... September 20, 2007

I really cannot understand the people who recommended this book, either they haven't had the chance to read something better or our tates really differ! Through out the story you never feel a connection with the characters, which is imperative in order to enjoy a book and feel part of it...As an avid reader I've had the opportunity to read romances, suspense and my favorite, a combination of both these elements and I can honestly say that there is so much better out there you can pick out from than this book...sorry! but it is just not worth your money!
 Exciting - fast paced - very well written! July 20, 2007

I just found this author when I picked up the first book in the series, Forget Me Not. I was so impressed with her writing style. Not a cookie cutter romance or suspense novel. This second book in particular starts out very strong and keeps pace the entire way- I stayed up until 4am to finish it - wow! It was intense!
