About this ebook
John Palmer hasn't felt like a real man since he was injured during combat in Iraq. Though not content with his new life, he is mostly adapting, just like the other vets at the Lost And Found Investigative Service. When Shannon Murphy is hired on as the new office manager, life suddenly gets a lot more interesting. Before long, John finds himself wondering if he could ever be the kind of man Shannon needs.
Shannon Murphy wasn't looking for love when she hired on at LNF, but finds herself hopelessly attracted to the sex-on-wheels former Marine, John Palmer. The man is grumpy and nearly impossible to work with, but his brand of masculinity appeals to her on a basic level. Soon Shannon is wondering just what it would take for John to want her the way she wants him.
When an old enemy tries to settle a vendetta against Shannon, John insists on protecting her. He moves into her house, fanning the spark of attraction into a blaze. But the danger continues to escalate. Will the connection that they've found survive when they're thrust into a fight for their lives?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5OH what a delightful read!
Hot sex, amazing suspense, emotion... and did I mention hot sex?!
And I can't even tell you how awesome it is that the guys aren't "perfect"... though they really are.
Perfect is a state of mind -- and this book is there. If there were 6 stars it would get that.
I can't wait to read the rest of the series! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was great even though the bad guy was easy to figure out. I loved the way that the author didn't sugarcoat the fact that the hero was in a wheelchair, and would most likely remain paralyzed. There was no miracle cure for him, period. But he was still a vibrant, HOT, hero, who was a perfect match for the heroine, Shannon. I loved her too. She was warm, compassionate, but no wimp by any means. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of this series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed this romantic suspense set in an environment of disabled veterans. I really liked how the heroine breaks through the adorable and wheelchair bound hero's insecurities to help build their love. Paraplegic John is attracted to his office manager Shannon and comes to her aid when suspicious events start happening.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Heart warming story of wounded soldiers who have found love with a little bit of action and suspense thrown in.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Boring I'm afraid. MC John was a bit of a whiner and MC Shannon was a bit too damsel-in-distress-ish for me. *shrugs* it didn't work for me. Not the right combination of characters.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Decent read, but didn't grab me. Shannon is well developed, but John is a bit two dimensional. A better depiction than most of life with long term physical disability, but I could have done without the repeated statements and implications that a man who can't get an erection isn't a real man.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the romance and the mystery that was interwoven.
However, in hindsight, I probably should reduce my rating ... How does a private security firm like LNF do a background check and not discover a half-brother to Shannon's stalker, or find out that there is a woman that has been obsessed with that stalker? - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5love this series!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Military Romance. Lost and Found 1. Wheelchair bound John and office manager Shannon. Good
