Product Description
Product Description
When Pete Taylor first offered his services as a bodyguard, Annie Morgan wanted nothing to do with him. She was sure that the death threats against her weren't serious. While the Native American mask she was working on was valuable, it wasn't worth killing for.
One murder attempt later, Annie was glad to have Pete around. She owed him her life. Suddenly she was beginning to believe in heroes—and dreams. But Pete wasn't a fantasy—he was real, and at the moment he was the only person she could allow herself to trust, no matter who he was.

Re-issued in the dual collection "Her Guardian" [2001],
Ce commentaire est de: Hero Under Cover (Paperback)
This is the story that started the ongoing catch phrase between me and my best friend: "There are those who climb and those who don't." The point being that Pete, the body guard, is a climber, [a key element to the plot] and the heroine, Annie, I and my friend are NOT--definitely with all capital letters; the classic definition of "fear of heights."This is one very memorable story that you will want to add to your "Suz Collection" if you have started one.

ok but not fantastic,
By IRRS - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Hero Under Cover (Paperback)
This is an early Brockmann that was written in 1994 and resurrected and published in 2001. The suspense part of the plot takes a little bit of a back-seat to the tons of lusting that goes on. But I did find the underlying reason for the actions of the villains to be believable.The heroine is an archaeologist who is suspected by the FBI and CIA of being involved in a series of museum bombings. The CIA hero is placed under cover as her bodyguard when she's threatened and has her home/lab broken into by some shadowy group trying to get their hands on an old death mask she's currently authenticating. The agency hope is that the hero will get earn her trust and learn something to help them nail her for the bombings. Most of the book centers on him watching her and watching out for her. There is a sprinkling of information on authenticating artifacts but I don't know enough to tell if Brockmann did her research or not. There is a heck of a lot about what the heroine eats. What I did find hard to believe is the fact that the heroine doesn't immediately go to work on authenticating the piece that is causing so much trouble. The FBI and CIA use the fact that the heroine is being threatened for handling it as a cover to have its owner put a 24 hour guard on her for weeks and she just lets it sit in her safe while working on other pieces? I would think she'd want to get rid of it quickly but then we'd have no story. I also thought the change in whether or not the hero believed her innocence very quick and would have expected to have a few scenes of him poking around through her stuff and listening in on phone calls. Instead he just seems to accept that she had nothing to do with the bombings. But it's a series book so maybe space was a factor here. All in all, it's not bad but has an awful lot of lusting. 20 of 27 people found the following review helpful

Romantic mystery with great twists!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Hero Under Cover (Paperback)
I don't want to give it all away. Basically, a doctor is calledin to authenticate a Native American "death mask" While she is attending the piece, she is assigned an agent to act as bodyguard. Their personalities are oil and water. But when serious murder attempt is tried against the doc, more than a mystery starts to heat up. Swift moving story with sharp 3-D characters. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Another New Cover for an old book,
By Barbara R. Mason "Santa Monica" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Hero Under Cover (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're looking for a new book, keep looking! This is a re-release of a book originally released in 1988. And, at that, not a very good one. A disappointment.
