I enjoyed this # 11 in the Tall Dark and Dangerous series. Though not up to par with her Trouble Shooters Books, I enjoyed this well written and intelligent book.

Brittany is a single mother of an adopted son that is in school working to get her Nurse Practicioner's Licence. She is set up on a blind date with a friend of her brother-in-law. She isn't expecting much because she had been burned before. Her ex was a liar and cheater and she isn't thinking that there is another man for her. But she is willing to have a date to enjoy her night with someone, knowing that it won't be going anywhere.

Wes Skelly is a Navy Seal and a man biding his time, waiting for the woman that he loves to finally wake up and see that her husband is cheating on her. He has been in love with one of the other Seal's wife for years, but hasn't acted on his feelings. But he hasn't told her what is going on either. So, to help out a friend he is set up on a date with the sister of another Seal's wife. He has met her before, but there wasn't much to that first meeting, but what the heck, he'll give it a try and spend some time with a pretty woman.

Wes finds that Brittany is a careing and supportive Mother. That is something that he didn't get a lot of at home when he was her son's age. She is also funny and fun. They spend a nice evening together and he ends up spending the night at her apartment after a Credit Card problem. As he gets to know her more and gets to know her son he has a lot of respect for her. And as the story progress's she becomes more and more attractive to him.

Wes is not what Brittany thought he would be. He is much shorter and smaller than she thought he would be. But he is a lot of fun and they get along really well. She likes the way that he interacts with her son Andy, and Andy seems to like and trust him right away.

As the progress's Britttany and Wes become close friends and find themselves growing more and more attracted to each other. When Andy goes off on a trip with his team they find they can't fight the attraction any longer and start a romantic fling. Both of them feel that the relationship will have to end eventually, but though they won't admit it to each other they are finding it harder and harder to not fall in love. When Brittany is held by a crazed stalker Wes will do anything he needs to to save her and in the end admits his feelings to himself and to her.

This is a sweet and fun story that is an easy read. I give this one 4 out of 5 stars.
