What we have here is one my favorite heroes I’ve come across in awhile. I really liked Bobby. He was honorable, passionate, and affectionate. He LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Belle. Like a lot. He knew years and years ago that he royally screwed up by letting her go and he really has never gotten over it. When he comes across Belle, he vows to keep her in his life for good.

Sometimes these guys are written very gruffly and they have a hard time expressing emotion because they think that they will be seen as weak and vulnerable. Bobby is a big badass who is not afraid to express himself. I really liked that about him and made me love him even more.

***I had the pleasure to beta read this book. I provided feedback while reading. The opinions stated in this review are my own and were not influenced by getting an advanced copy of this book***

I read this book in pieces and it was torture. Absolute torture. I knew I was a goner when the PROLOGUE made me tear up. And really it was over before it started. Knowing it was a Contemporary Romance gave me a tiny hint of relief that the likelihood of a happily ever after was pretty high but I had no clue how Bobby and Belle would get there.

I have never been more anxious to read the next chapter. It would sometimes be a week OR MORE before I could get it. It was torture waiting for those chapters. I would find myself dreaming about Bobby, wondering if he would ever get his girl back. Wondering what Belle's problem was; couldn't she see he was sorry?

And then Bobby's feet were knocked out from under him in the most surprising way and I was left sitting there, speechless, for hours. My stomach dropped out and I just - had no words. If I could have jumped into that book to smack some heads together and comfort Bobby. you better believe I wouldn't think twice about leaving my husband to jump in there.

This is another one of those stories that I find it hard to convey the emotions I had without discussing the reasons for those emotions - hurt, sad, angry, hopeful, anxious, scared, nauseous, relieved - any book that can put me through the ringer as thoroughly as Secret Maneuvers did is one I will recommend to EVERYONE. Even if you don't think you like Contemporary Romance, you will like this.

A very promising writing team. Great story, great writing, great characters, very emotional, certainly plenty of characters to build on.
