      July 14, 2004: In Austin, FBI Hostage Negotiator Jesse Montalvo tries to keep fifteen year old Delilah Butler and her mother from becoming victims during a hostage standoff. Only his voice keeps the teen from cracking. However, the local SWAT Commander refuses to wait and storms the facility. Delilah survives but her mother dies. Jesse slinks out of town feeling like a failure while Delilah knows the Voice of her hero who saved her life.......................... Twelve years later, the Violent Crimes Task Force requests Jesse lead a team trying to stop a serial killer who abducts young women. Delilah, now a detective, is on the team. As they work together both feel a bit shy to discuss what happened that connected them a dozen years ago as he feels guilt and she feels hero worship. Soon their divergent feelings converge into love, but the killer has Delilah in his eyesight but this time Jesse plans to not fail her............................. Though exciting and well written, the police procedural subplot takes a back seat to the ?Deep in the Heart? love story between two people connected by a tragic event in which they interpret the outcome quite differently. The story line is fast-paced as the duo struggle to stop the serial killer with Delilah becoming the bait over the objection of Jesse. Fans will appreciate this wonderful romance in which the hero has many doubts including does she love the statue on the pedestal hero she has painted of him or the bleeding hurting real flesh?..........................

      July 07, 2004: I love this book! Brashear brings out the conflicts and complications between the hero and heroine to perfection. Jesse is an amazingly attractive hero--at once strong as steel and yet utterly sensitive, sharply intelligent and yet misguided in certain of his deepest convictions. Delilah is wonderful, too, with her strength and intelligence so similar to Jesse's and her true heart and spirit that help him learn to love and let go of guilt. Brashear's gorgeous, lyrical writing is as at home in this weighty, fast-paced thriller as it is in her more heartwarming contemporary romances. Brashear is a wonderful writer, and reading ?Most Wanted,? I found myself pulled between wanting to read ahead in order to know what happens next and wanting to read slowly in order to savor the individual sentences and images. I can't wait for the next Deep In The Heart!
