Book Review: Cyclone by Janie Crouch

The Blurb:

Meet Zac Mackay. Military codename: Cyclone.
He's a widower, a protector, a hero.

And the person who could destroy Anne's life.

Doctor Anne Griffin is back in Oak Creek, Wyoming, only because she has no other options. Here, she was always the shy, stuttering girl, invisible to everyone.

Except Zac. The very reason she left in the first place.

Zac's years in Special Forces taught him survival skills, and he's created a company–Linear Tactical–to teach those skills to others, so they never have to live in fear.

Then why is Annie, the last person he'd ever want to hurt, afraid of him?

Zac's determined to wipe the fear from the eyes of the woman who has never been far from his mind. And fix the mistakes–his mistakes–that put that look there in the first place.

But a predator has set his sights on Annie. And now survival skills will become much more than lessons…

My thoughts:

A book of two halves, this one—most of the romance came at the beginning with a build up to the action at the end. I really liked how Annie’s character grew throughout the book, and who wouldn’t want a Zac? Any man who not only crashes his motorbike to avoid a dog but also takes the dog in afterwards has to be a good guy. Although he’s kind of a bad influence too, because now I’m wondering how feasible it would be to get a hot tub. It wouldn’t even have to be on the roof—I’m not fussy. Anyhow, this had hot men, strong women, and puppies—definitely my kind of book.
