Product Description:
Could a revolutionary used to running wild win the heart of a world-weary journalist?
Liam Bartlett had nearly lost his life in San Salustiano, and for five years the correspondent had done his best to silence his ghosts. But when Marisala Bolivar arrived in Boston, all his memories returned—along with a white-hot hunger for the young rebel who'd hidden him and kept him alive! Marisala ached for Liam's touch, so long forbidden but now hers to fight for with a woman's fierce need. Could a love once forged in fire at last burn true?
In this unforgettably sensual love story, Suzanne Brockmann creates a portrait of two daredevil survivors, tested by sorrow and bound by destiny to heal each other's wounds. A flame who beckoned him out of the darkness, she understood his pain as no one ever would, but could he soothe her hidden scars by offering her his soul?

In this Suzanne brings us one of her re-issued novels. Liam Bartlett spent time in a prison in San Salsutiano and the ghosts from his time there still haunt him, the one memory he can't forget is of a certain 15 year old freedom fighter named Marisala Bolivar. Well Marisala is all grown up now and has come to Boston to go to college and at the request of her uncle is relying on Liam to help her get settled the trouble is that each of them has held a flame for each other for years and now that flame is becoming a forest fire.
A wonderful story told only the way Suz can.

Suzanne Brockmann is my FAVORITE author. Hands Down. She has been for the last several years, ever since Linda Howard knocked herself off the throne she'd held for about 10 years. However, after reading several of her re-published contemporaries, I've discovered a horrible trend.
If it's not part of her "Troubleshooters" or "Seal Team 10" series, it's probably not worth reading. I've realized this after reading a number of re-published duds, "Freedom's Price" being one of them. I'm beginning to realize that I'm going to have to leave these earlier published contemporaries in the bookstore.
Still, a boring Brockmann is definitely better than any of the current offers. That's why she still gets 4 stars. But...I'll just wait and get my Brockmann fix from the subsequent Troubleshooters book that's released. (Should be soon!) They NEVER disappoint.

Brockman is re-releasing a short romantic novel about Liam and Marisala, who have shared experiences during a civil war in a small South American country. Years later, Marisala's uncle sends her to America to attend college and learn to be "civilized". Liam is asked to help her make the adjustment. It's a light read with "hot" sex scenes, if you need that sort of thing to enjoy your book, but the plot lacks depth. Both characters struggle with their traumatic memories from the war; their gap in age causes some self-doubt about whether they would be right together. Age gap is overcome . . . Misunderstanding = precipitous breakup. Man has revelation, breaks through trauma to win the girl. Light, easy reading,completely devoid of challenge.

With most authors I won't bother with their re-released, less than full length novels, which are never quite as good, but Suzanne Brockman is always one of my favorites. So I decided to give it a try, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. It does lack some of the depth and all of the suspense of her newer stories, but it's a sweet romance, with an engaging plot and characters who are easy to care about. A good single-serving read.

It's been five years since journalist Liam Bartlett returned from a harrowing two year captivity in San Salustiano. When an old friends asks him to look out for his niece who will be attending college in Boston and who also happens to be one of the freedom fighters who fought to keep him alive, old ghosts and a passion for the young girl (now a woman) return. As she is more comfortable with a gun than high heels, her uncle also asks Liam to help Marisela to act more like a lady. A mix up with her college housing forces the two to share close quarters. Liam, clearly uncomfortable in his role as Henry Higgins, fights his attraction while Marisala challenges him, as she feels the same. Will the journalist keep a cool head or lose himself over the only person who can probably understand what haunts him?
A follow up to "Forbidden," there is virtually nothing to link the two stories together (no update on Liam's brother Cal and wife Kayla either), other than the main two characters appearing in both books, making it a stand alone novel. This could have been a pretty topical and brief story (as many older Brockmann novels tended to be). Instead, she pulls out all stops, adding intense emotions and fears to the mix, really delving deep into Liam's psych. This is one of Brockmann's better stories and unlike some authors who re-release material, hers is worthy of the paper it's printed on.
