Publisher Description

Julie Garwood is among the most critically acclaimed — and popular — romance authors around, with thirty-six million copies of her books in print. And now, with The Ideal Man, Garwood is poised to expand that already huge audience. Dr. Ellie Sullivan has just completed her residency at a large urban hospital. While jogging in a park nearby, she witnesses the shooting of an FBI agent in pursuit of wanted criminals, a couple identified as the Landrys. The only person to see the shooter’s face, Ellie is suddenly at the center of a criminal investigation. Agent Max Daniels takes over the Landry case. A no-nonsense lawman, he’s definitely not the ideal man that Ellie has always imagined, yet she’s attracted to him in a way she can’t explain. Ellie heads home to Winston Falls, South Carolina, to attend her sister’s wedding. Shortly after she arrives, though, she receives a surprise visitor: Max Daniels. The Landrys have been captured, and she’ll be called to testify. But they’ve been captured before, and each time the witnesses are scared into silence—or disappear before they can take the stand. Max vows to be Ellie’s shadow until the trial, and it isn’t long before sparks fly. . . .

"Hadn't read one of her books in a while and picked this up the other day to give it a try. I LOVED it. Zipped through it because I so enjoyed it. Now I'm going to have to go back and track down some of her other contemporary, newer releases that I hadn't yet read and give them a try as well."

    " One of the best from Julie Garwood. Part of the Buchanan series it ranks as one of the best. The characters are well drawn and the story in parts comedic. Well worth the price and an enjoyable read. Heartbreaker is the first in the series. "
