Grace Under Fire

Buchanan-Renard-MacKenna, Book 14

De: Julie Garwood

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor

Michael Buchanan will need every bit of his extensive skill set when he appoints himself as bodyguard to a woman determined not to need one in this thrilling novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

Grace Isabel MacKenna has a hundred things to do today. Killing someone isn't one of them. It is supposed to be a quick visit to Boston for the Buchanan anniversary party, then on to Scotland to collect an inheritance. She checks into her hotel and then decides to go for a brisk walk. But after getting lost, she ends up with a wounded man stumbling into her arms—and his shooter coming after them both. When she fires back in self-defense, she doesn’t expect him to drop dead. After Isabel endures an interrogation by police, she is free to go, thanks to the Buchanans dispatching former Navy SEAL and now lawyer Michael Buchanan to assist her.

Isabel knows she should be grateful for Michael’s help, but since she’s harbored an extreme dislike for him for years, gratitude is difficult to muster. Michael has appointed himself her de facto guardian, and she’s stuck with him despite their constant bickering and sizzling attraction. Even when Isabel goes to Scotland to claim her inheritance, Michael follows her—but he isn’t the only thing she can’t shake. Mysterious threats against Isabel surface, and before they can deal with their growing feelings for each other, Michael and Isabel must first survive.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Narrator Samantha Brentmoor brings to life the romance between Isabel MacKenna and Michael Buchanan. [Isabel] is the type of person people gravitate to, and Brentmoor deftly conveys her warmth and compassion. As a lawyer and former Navy SEAL, Michael has a no-nonsense personality, and Brentmoor reflects this with a clear and concise portrayal. She injects humor into her narration, especially when it comes to Isabel's driving.”—AudioFile Magazine

“Garwood delivers plenty of twists to keep the suspense brewing and a subplot about Grace’s potential music career adds color. Readers will be hooked."—Publishers Weekly

“Fans of the series will clamor for this book, which can also be read as a standalone.”—Library Journal

Believable characters

Reading Julie Garwood stories are always entertaining. I like how she handled the interactions between family, friends and perfect strangers. This story tied many of her books together so it was a pleasure to touch on the memories again.
When I do something repetitive, Julie Garwood is a great author to fall back on to keep me going. I enjoyed Samantha’s voice for Grace and had to accustom my ear for Michael’s voice. It was a pitch that I was not used to. I think I would have liked a different pitch, but I always knew when he was speaking so that says a lot for me. Overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

Love It!

Loved this book!

This was a long story with a lot of twists and turns. The narration was excellent. I enjoyed both protagonists and all the other characters interwoven throughout the story. There was many subplots and lots of humor. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would reccomend it to anyone who likes romance, action and humorous situations. My favorite scenes were about Isabel who was the worst driver in literary history and was laugh out loud outrageous and hilarious.

Outstanding

Loved the story and to have it on audio is wonderful. The narration is perfect for the story. It really brings it to life. Highly recommend.
