      March 05, 2005: Inwardly and externally, Ian Woodward bears deep wounds. Though he feels useless, others disagree, and on the strength of their faith, this paraplegic young man who no longer can fight fires agrees to teach others how to be what he still is, the best. Then, the wounds on his heart are reopened when Lisel Loring returns to town. The young actress ostensibly is coming home to recover from an illness, but truthfully, she is fleeing a stalker. That's where Rick Ruscio comes in; seeking to remake his life after blackmail forced him to be a traitor, the ex cop hopes to find a measure of redemption or at least pay the bills by protecting Lisel. Yet just as much as Lisel believes in Ian, Faith McPherson believes in Rick. .......................................... *** These four lives intertwine and draw strength from one another across the pages of another moving novel from an author who is a sure bet for a good read at least 99 percent of the time. However, danger lurks just outside their circle, waiting for a chance to break them apart. ***

      December 29, 2004: Firefighter Ian Woodward was a first responder to the Twin Towers tragedy. While many of his brothers and sisters died on 9/11, he lived but lost the use of his legs and had to learn activities for daily living. Two years later, the wheelchair bound Ian visited his sister in Hidden Cove, New York; he met and formed a friendship with actress Lisel Loring, but when she wanted to take it to a more loving level he withdrew feeling inadequate to be her lover.--- A year after fleeing from Lisel, Ian wonders what he has to live for although he enjoys teaching at Hidden Cove Academy. Lisel returns to Hidden Cove, but an out of control fan stalks her. She has hired disgraced former police officer Rick Ruscio to protect her. Rick is doing community services at a preschool as part of his conviction. There he meets teacher Faith McPherson, whose lust for life consumes him although he feels inadequate to be worthy of her love. As the danger from the stalker mounts these stubborn dumb males do not yet comprehend the strength of the females who love them.--- The Hidden Cove tales continue to provide superb romantic suspense thrillers while paying homage to firefighters. The current tale is terrific as Kathryn Shay employs multiple story lines tied together by Lisle and favorites from previous books return. Readers will cry for Ian, yet Ms. Shay does not paint a tearjerker or provoke pity tears for him. NOTHING MORE TO LOSE is a strong entry in one of the best running collections on the market today.--- Harriet Klausner
