Line of Duty

Rate this book
Lt. Colonel Brenna Duggan is a career Air Force officer, and the fact that she is a beautiful woman has never stood in her way. In command of a crack flyer squadron, she is responsible for ruling that the death of an airman in a Panama bar was not in the line of duty, thus depriving the dead airman's widow of her benefits.

But Brenna had doubts about the death, and questions about the handsome, seductive, and cynical Dave Sanderson, the rogue ex-military pilot who seems somehow linked to the airman's death. Brenna is ordered to drop the case, or risk putting her career on the line--and her heart in fearful jeopardy. It is the greatest gamble she has ever taken--both personally and professionally...

A good read if you like a mystery with romance. I had to talk about what I thought would happen and had to change my ideas now and then!
My reviews are mainly written to help me remember the book.

An interesting story but the romance parts seemed a bit phony for a gal of her military ranking!!

The heroine was compelling and interesting, and it's nice to see some AWACS featured! That said, the hero was an enigma that turned out to be a dud and the mystery was so-so. The clear strength was the portrayal of the heroine's career and the force of her character.

It's more likely 3.5 stars. The story is very long but then the rhythm and suspense gets 5 notches of speed at the last two chapters and the final scene fully strikes. I really like Merline Lovelace female characters being so strong and leading the path.
