Hot Desert Heroes, Book 1
Delaney Murphy has had a stomach-fluttering, mouth-watering crush on Beck since the first time she saw him over the rim of her regular morning latte. But she's never been long on self-confidence, especially around exceptionally handsome men.
After a year of avoiding him, she's shocked when he slides into the next chair and wears down her resistance to a first date.
When Laney is laid off from her job, Marines special ops veteran Beck "Gravedigger" Townsend wastes no time hiring the quiet, auburn-haired beauty into Red Eagle Group, his security firm. Keeping her within touching distance—and under his protection.
Laney's smile and sharp intelligence light up Beck's life and heat up his bed, yet he hesitates to give her what she really wants: full access to the darkest corners of his wounded spirit. But when danger is delivered right to Red Eagle's door, the only way to save her—and their love—will be to bleed. Body and soul…
Warning: Adult language and graphic sex scenes between a man locked behind his secrets, and a woman ready to break free of her past. If you think the desert is hot, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Delaney “Laney” Murphy doesn’t seem to have any luck picking men. Beck Townsend is a man who knows how to surprise a woman. One thing that impressed me was that this author takes on a hero that’s older than some that I’ve read lately. It also shows when it comes to being a hero - age is only a number.
Beck is ex-military and it was nice to see him in Delaney’s corner. I loved how the author had him looking for love. If you’re a reader that loves her military men then Beck will fill that bill for you. Maybe you’re into alpha males – he has that covered too. These two had me binge reading – I didn’t get to bed until I finished the whole thing.
I can relate to how Delaney feels about her mom – I had the same feelings about my own. When you can relate to a character it’s just one way that you see how talented this author is. One thing I loved was how the author created a support team for her. She made me wish that I had one of my own.
It didn’t take me too long to realize that this is a series that I need to follow. I start to feel that this may be a series that doesn’t need to be read in order – this could be read as a standalone. But then I remember that this is the first book. And that just means that I will definitely have to follow the series so I know if that is true or not. This author had me transfixed right from the beginning.
Ms. Munroe doesn’t drag any of her scenes out and none of the characters get too much time – which might have changed the tone of the storyline. As you read, you feel as if their lives are playing out right before your eyes. You’re able to picture everything going on before you.
I was investigating this author and to my surprise this is her first book. But upon further investigation she has two pen names Cynthia Garner Sherrill Quinn. So if you want to expand your reading horizons, and as you wait the next book in the Hot Desert Heroes Series comes out, you may want to do a little investigation of your own.
