What happens when a man who solves problems by blowing them up finds himself in a situation where diplomacy is the best plan of attack?
Mike “Cowboy” Vaughn enjoys blowing things up. As an explosives expert with HIS, he knows nothing of diplomacy. So, when he’s called back to the family ranch to help find out who keeps sabotaging them, he is put in situation after situation where he would rather blow things up than have the necessary conversations.
Elizabeth Ladner has wanted Cowboy from the moment she saw him. But, he is a client, and she is not into flings. That is until he gets under her skin. When she has to choose between Cowboy and her ex-husband, she may make the wrong choice.

I have been looking forward to this book as it has been awhile since we visited HIS and the men and women who work there. This is Cowboy's story.
Cowboy needs to return home to help save the family ranch and he needs the help of his handy-woman Elizabeth to do this. There seems to be someone who wants to sabotage the ranch and will stop at nothing to do this.
Cowboy has had a thing for Elizabeth since he first met her and has been finding odd jobs around the home to keep her in his life. He doesn't do relationships after a tragic past has left him with his heart closed off to getting hurt again. Elizabeth has had thing for Cowboy too but she only will consider the possibility of a relationship as she has a young son that she has to consider and put first. It appears that their differences may keep them apart.
Whilst there was a little danger surrounding the sabotage on the ranch, this somehow was lacking the energy that I have come to expect from Sheila Kell. It plodded along with the odd incidence here and there but there was a lack of urgency in trying to uncover the truth. It felt as though this element of the story wasn't given the space to dull explore. That being said I still enjoyed this book and these characters and I really enjoyed being back with this group of characters.

Agents of HIS Series
Midnight Escape
(Book 2)
Sheila Kell writes about the romantic men who leave women’s hearts pounding with a happily ever after built on memorable, adrenaline-pumping stories. Or, (since her editor tries to cut down on her long-windedness) simply “Smokin’ Hot Romance & Intrigue.” Her debut novel, His Desire (HIS Series #1), launched as an Amazon #1 romantic suspense bestseller and Top 100 overall, later winning the Readers’ Favorite award for best romantic suspense novel.
As a Southern girl who has left behind her days with the United States Air Force and as a University Vice President, she can usually be found nestled in the Mississippi woods, where she lives with her cats and all the strays that magically find her front door. When she isn’t writing, you can find Sheila with her nose in a good book, dealing with the woodland critters who enjoy her back porch, or wishing she had a genie to do her bidding.
