Chloe Jordan knew one thing: the combination of turning thirty and being one of the only single women at her little sister's wedding was thoroughly depressing—expensive-chocolate-and-cheap-wine-binge depressing. The hell of it was that she, as the maid of honor, emphasis on maid, old maid, had an ironclad obligation to be the life of the party. No matter how much she loved her little sis, this night officially sucked.
A chorus of spoons knocking on glasses startled her out of her momentary slip into melancholy. Shouts of laughter went up as the groom laid a smoking-hot kiss on the bride. Sheesh. Somebody throw a bucket of ice water on those two.
Chloe checked her bitterness. Sunny'd had a really crappy run of luck and deserved all the happiness she could get. The lucky groom, Aiden, obviously loved Sunny fiercely. Next up on her personal hit parade of depressing events was bound to be playing indulgent auntie to their perfect children. Yippee.
The band resumed playing too loudly to talk over, and thankfully a mob of guests piled out of their seats, relieving her of any duty to go out onto a painfully empty dance floor and "get things started."
It didn't help her mood that she'd had a little too much champagne and was starting to feel a little weepy. Sunny was so beautiful and radiant, and she was so proud of her little sis. Chloe noticed from her seat jammed in the corner that it had started raining outside.
One of the groomsmen got the bright idea to light up a cigar, and furthermore, to pass out cigars to all the other groomsmen. A cloud of noxious blue smoke enveloped her. Her stomach roiled ominously.
Enough was enough. She took her queasy stomach and crazy mood swings and fled the reception in search of fresh air. She burst out of the private club that was one of Denver's most exclusive addresses and inhaled deeply. But even the rain wouldn't give her a break and the skies opened up without warning. Her hotel was right across the street and she ran for it, racing down the club's wide steps. Streetlights glittered off the wet pavement as she dashed between cars.
She never saw it coming.
A big, dark SUV accelerated toward her out of nowhere, its engine growling hungrily as it shot forward. Its headlights were blinding and she stared into them in shock.
The impact was incredible, knocking her completely off her feet and sending her flying through space splayed out on her back. Something powerful wrapped around her torso, yanking her in a midair one-eighty so she landed on her stomach. She slammed into something…
…and didn't die horribly. Whatever she'd smashed into had definitely been hard but not nearly as unyielding as concrete. Her breath was knocked clean out of her, though, and she gasped frantically to no avail. Disoriented, she stared down at the man lying beneath her. Had she been thrown into him and knocked him down?
An engine revved and tires squealed behind her. She looked up in time to see a black, shiny, wet SUV disappear around a corner at a high speed.
She'd nearly died. And the man lying so still beneath her had probably saved her life by breaking her fall. Had she killed him? All of a sudden, she was able to breathe again. She sucked in a sobbing breath and rolled off of the man.
"Are you okay?" she asked urgently.
His eyes blinked open, and silver eyes stared up at her, laser-intense. Eyes she recognized. Ohmigosh. He was one of Aiden's groomsmen. Trenton something. Hollings. That was it. She'd heard some of the other guys call him Trent.
"I'll live," he rasped. "You?"
"I'm fine. You broke my fall. I'm so sorry—"
He cut her off. "No need to apologize. Who was in that car?"
"I don't know. I didn't see anything, and then those headlights were coming at me. I guess the SUV hit me and sent me flying into you."
"Actually," he murmured, sitting up carefully, his dark hair tousled and sexy, "I'm the only thing that hit you. I knocked you out of the car's way at the last second. Had that SUV hit you, something that heavy moving that fast would have killed you instantly."
She stared, stunned anew. He really had saved her life. For a man who'd just been knocked flat by a human-sized flying object, he popped to his feet with a speed and grace that shocked her. A hand materialized in front of her eyes.
It was big and tanned and calloused in stark contrast to the pristinely starched white cuff and onyx cufflink above it.
She took his hand and floated to her feet.
"Are you sure you're all right?" he asked, his voice deep. Rough with concern.
She looked down at her red silk gown ruefully. The side seam had torn from the hem almost all the way to her hip. Her slender leg was entirely exposed. "I'm fine. But I can't say the same for my dress."
He looked down critically. "I like it better like this. A woman with legs like yours should show them off."
Her startled gaze lifted to his, and he smiled at her. But not just any smile, rather a sizzling hot one that promised a long night of steamy seduction if she was interested. She about fell off her three-inch stilettos in shock. Trenton Hollings was flirting with her? The hottest groomsman out of a whole batch of ridiculously hot men? No way.
He offered her his forearm, and she looped her hand around it in minor shock. The hard muscles beneath the soft Italian wool contracted sharply. "Ready to try crossing the street again?" he murmured.
"I swear, I looked both ways. I never saw that car coming. One second the street was clear, and the next, there it was, running me down."
Trent nodded, frowning. "I believe you." His frown deepened as they stepped gingerly back out into the wide boulevard. They managed to cross to the other side of the street without incident, although her escort did pause as they reached the far curb to take a long look back over his shoulder at the scene of her near miss.
"What's on your mind?" she asked cautiously.
Her words seemed to jolt him out of his reverie and he gave himself a little shake. "Getting you up to your room in one piece and cleaned up is on my mind."
She looked down at herself in alarm. Just how bad did she look? As if it mattered. She was darned lucky just to be alive, for goodness' sake. They stepped into a hotel elevator, and in the small, enclosed space, her tall escort dwarfed her. She was not short herself at five foot seven, plus three inches of heels, but he still had several inches on her. He was muscular without being thick. His shoulders filled out his tuxedo nicely, and well-defined biceps flexed within his sleeves. No wonder the impact of him slamming into her had knocked her halfway across the street.
"Do you save women from being run down a lot?" she asked to fill the silence.
His mouth twitched in humor. "Not often."
"What do you do when you're not doing that?"
He shrugged. "I'm a bum."
She blinked, startled. "You clean up pretty well for a bum."
A full-fledged grin flashed her way, all but knocking her off her feet again. Nobody got teeth that perfect and white without expensive orthodontic work. And that tuxedo was no rental monkey suit. It was cashmere with Italian lines exquisitely tailored to his athletic physique. Not to mention Sunny'd told her how wealthy and successful all of Aiden's groomsmen were, not so subtly hinting that Chloe should pick one and go for the gusto. The guys had all gone to college together, apparently. Frat brothers, in fact. And most of them worked with billionaire Jeff Winston at Winston Enterprises. Bum. Right.
"Tell me another lie," she murmured.
"You're ugly and not the slightest bit sexy."
Her gaze snapped to his. "Excuse me?"
"You asked for a lie."
Before she could think up a snappy comeback the elevator door opened and he reached an arm out to hold it open. His free hand came to rest lightly in the middle of her back as he shepherded her out. She felt surrounded by him, and it was the strangest sensation. Maybe it was because she was with men so rarely, or maybe it was because he was so freaking hot, but either way, her breath shortened disconcertingly.
As she exited the elevator, her heel caught in the door's track and stuck momentarily, pitching her off balance. Instantly, Trent's strong hand was on her elbow, steadying her. "I'm such a klutz," she mumbled.
"Good thing for you I'm not," he replied wryly.
She started down the hallway toward the snazzy suite Aiden had insisted on paying for. Chloe wasn't penniless anymore, but she surely wouldn't have wasted so much money on an extravagant hotel room that, outside of sleeping and showering, she'd spent about five minutes awake in each day.
She glanced sidelong at Trent. "Are you one of those athletic people who always manage to land on their feet and make the rest of us mere mortals look silly?"
He shrugged modestly.
She sighed. "That's what I thought." As she fumbled with her room's key card, he lifted it from her shaking fingers. Wow. That near miss with the SUV must have rattled her worse than she'd realized.
"Let me get that." He reached past her to open the door and then did a strange thing. He put a restraining hand on her arm. "Wait here."
She frowned as he disappeared into the dark suite. He was back in a minute, flipping on light switches as he came. What was that all about?
"What are you standing out here for?" he asked.
"You told me to—" She broke off as she caught the glint of humor in his silver eyes. Dry sense of humor this guy had.
She followed him into the suite.
"When did you get into town?" he asked as he moved over to the picture windows and inexplicably pulled the blinds closed on a magnificent view of Denver's night lights glittering in t...

4 TRENT STARS!!!
By Novelsontherun
When you mix an undercover forensic accountant with a man that was built for speed, you get a very smexi read.
Chloe Jordan and Trent Hollings collide with each other after a SUV nearly hits her. Several shots of whiskey later to calm the nerves and .......* waggles eyebrows*
People you have to stay away from the whiskey!
I really liked this story. Who knew accountants could be so naughty?
Trent is a `surfer bum' or is he? He scrubs up rather nice in a suit and he scrubs up rather nice without his suit and he can surf. He is also a bit of a phenomenon, but I will let you find out for yourself. If you are thinking of having him over to dinner you may want to make a little extra, the boy can burn calories.
Chloe is hiding behind her past and protecting her feelings and that all shatters when Trent becomes her stalker out to keep her safe.
This is turning out to be harder than one would think. Chloe is working for Paradeo, and trying to uncover a money laundering scheme. But what really is going on?
I did pick some things in the plot as I think when you only have so many usual suspects to choose from, your brain is going to figure things out. I would have liked some more suspects for me to bobble about in my brain, theorising over.....Or am I too much of a nerd and like to work things out too much....nerd alert!
I love Trent, he is my book boyfriend for today or until I find myself another Harlequin romance suspense book boyfriend who takes his title away from him. He is just a smexi unit who has some pretty interesting things going on in his past and daily life.
I am looking forward to Deadly Sight the next book in this series and more of Winston Ops and the people involved with it. It is all a bit cloak and dagger and units coming to the rescue, which to me equates to either more Trent, or somebody to take his book boyfriend title away from him:D
Happy Days:D

Fast Hero
By Rhonda
3 STARS This is a steamy read. I admit I skipped a few pages of the love scenes. I was wanting more of a story. I guessed pretty early who the bad guy was. I wanted more action with his team too. Chloe Jordan was leaving her sister's wedding and when she was crossing the road she almost got run over. Someone knocked her out of the street. Trent Hollings is very fast super hero fast. He saw the car aim for Chloe and was able to knock her out of the way. Then he escorted her to her room and got her drunk. They had a night of passion and then Trent left her. Chloe woke up and could not belive what they had done with each other and was glad not to see him thier. Trent went and reported her accident with his group, they thought that because her sister married one of them it might be aimed at them. So Trent a rich trust fund was assigned to watch over her and protect her. Chole is working with the FBI right out of collage she was asked to go work at a company as a accountant and find what they were hiding. She had just graduated from collage as forensics accountant. When she got home from the wedding a another worker asked to meet her at a bar. he snuck her a flash drive with all the records of the company and asked for help with somethings he found he was really nervous. The next day on the news said he was murdered. Chloe was so shocked she dropped her glass and went pale. Next thing thier was a knock at her door and it was Trent he had been watching her and saw her drop the glass. She thought he was a stalker. After calling his boss agreed that he could watch over her. Thier was attempt to kidnap her but Trent was able to rescue her that time. This was a good book and I will try more books from Cindy in the future. Just not what I wanted right now. If you enjoy lots of love scenes you will like this book too. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley. 09/03/2012 PUB Harlequin Imprint Harlequin Romantic Suspense
