"He's dangerous and sexy, with the soul of a lover and the heart of a hunter...Ms. Brashear's fresh writing style offers the reader a stylish love story imbued with high drama, substantial conflict, a strong heroine and delectable hero." ~Romantic Times Bookclub magazine 4.5 stars (Exceptional) Top Pick, WISH Hero

Sexy, award-winning romantic suspense from New York Times and USAToday Bestseller Jean Brashear…
She's driven by vengeance; he's driven by guilt. She's out to kill the man he's sworn to protect.

Deep-cover FBI agent Drake Cullinane is driven by guilt over a terrorist attack he couldn’t prevent. It’s taken him years to become the trusted head of security for arms dealer Klaus Hafner, the man responsible for that attack, and he’s within days of taking down Hafner and his whole network.

Jillian MacGregor found a splashy way to apply to be one of Klaus Hafner’s bodyguards, and she’s out to kill the man the mysterious Cullinane is sworn to protect, seeking revenge for her sister’s death at Hafner’s hands.

White-hot attraction flares between them, but both are hiding dangerous secrets. Only one of them can win—and if they cannot learn to trust each other, both of them could die.
"Author Jean Brashear evokes an atmosphere of unrelenting danger that is further enhanced by the explosive chemistry between the hero and heroine. This fast-paced, sexy page-turner draws the reader into a world of shadows and intrigue. It is top-notch romantic suspense." ~Gothic Journal
"Filled with passion and intrigue, it SSSizzles with sensuality and suspense from beginning to end!" ~New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala

A letter to Rod Stewart resulting in a Cinderella 16th birthday for her daughter might have been the first step on Texas romance author Jean Brashear’s path to being a New York Times and USAToday bestselling author whose stories are hailed as "feel-good romance at its finest."

Her quirky small towns are called “a special place for hearts that need healing” and all are evidence of Jean’s heartfelt belief that love is the most powerful force in the universe. Her stories reflect that bone-deep commitment to spreading her faith in the goodness inside us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Drake and Jillian ~ Excitement, Passion, Suspense! Treat Yourself
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2017

Sorry for shouting, but I am a HUGE Jean Brashear fan and can't rave enough about her literary skills! The Choice kept my body glued to the seat and my mind engaged in the drama unfolding from page one.

Drake Cullinane, an FBI agent working undercover for the past two years, is close to nearing the end of his assignment by bringing in his target, Klaus Hafner, arms dealer and terrorist. As his Security Chief and right hand man, Drake is shocked when he is bested by an intruder at their estate.

Jillian MacGregor, bent on revenge, for the death of her sister, is determined to get close to Hafner. Fierce and passionate with an intelligence comparable to Drake's, the clash of their wills keeps the tension mounting. Drake is ordered to hire her for his team, although his intuition has warning bells shrieking. With dangerous secrets between them, they are on a path of self destruction.

Ms. Brashear balances the incredible action with romantic suspense, at its finest. I love the way she developed Drake and Jillian's feelings and fluidly provided us with an amazing dialogue. No matter the genre, this author is uniquely gifted and I will read anything with her name attached. Kudo's ~ Bravo!

This is a very good story. My only problem with it is that it needs a little more closure. A few things seemed to be left in question in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2011
A woman determined to avenge her sister's murder. A man who won't stop until justice is served. In order to kill him, Jillian MacGregor convinces the man who murdered her sister to hire her as a bodyguard after almost breaching undercover FBI Agent Drake Cullinane's security. As they work together the sexual tension is impossible to deny. As the danger increases, they have to learn to trust each other. When the feelings they share start to mend the dark places in their souls, Jillian must decide if she can put her faith in Drake to ensure the monster that killed her sister won't go unpunished.

The Choice is a newly revised edition of Jean Brashear's multi-award winning first book, The Bodyguard's Bride. Along with a surprise new ending, this story is richly told with more in-depth characterization and a fast pace that will keep you turning the pages. I couldn't put it down! The chemistry between Jillian and Drake practically sizzles on the page, and their steamy encounters have the reader hoping for the impossible idea that they can find a way to be together forever. This is a must read for fans of romantic suspense.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Beach Book 3.5 stars (if I could do that!)
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2011
A new version of her previous book The Bodyguard's Wife. I believe this may be the first book I have read from this author. I loved her strong female lead in this story as well as the sensitive, lead male. I was totally disgusted (on several levels) with the bad guy in this book. I don't think this book follows the typical romance novel format but it isn't a sizzling thriller either. It is however a very good, hard to put down read. I managed to read it straight through in less than a summers day! In the interest of full disclosure, I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it. I look forward to reading some of Jean Brasher's other books.

Good read. Thrilling all the way to the end. I like that Jean describes her characters as tormented by the past but that they reconsider their thirst for vengeance and do "the right thing". And I always love happy endings.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Choice Review
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2011
Loved this book, the author knows how to keep the momentum going from the first page to the last it is action packed. Great book for the beach or a rainy day, but beware you get totally caught up in the guilt ridden characters and how they will resolve their different strategies to reach the same objective. It is hard to put down. The romantic attraction between the characters is compelling and builds through out the novel tantalizing you with anticipation for them to finally admit the attraction and act on their feelings. Will they both keep their promises to each other or will they destroy each other? This dilemma will keep you reading until the dramatic conclusion. I did receive a complimentary copy of this book, but I will be purchasing some of her other novels from Amazon, thanks for turning me on to a new writer.

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2011
Couldn't put this down. I haven't read straight thru in a long time, but The Choice is one of those. It's got mystery, intrigue, and even some possiblity of romance. When I started to read it I was disturbed that the background of 2 of the main characters was revealed so soon, but it didn't matter. I'm usually good at figuring out what comes next, but this book kept coming up with new twists.
Everyone must make choices in their lives and the choices in this book were among the very basic = right & wrong, good & evil, revenge & letting go. Make the right choice and don't miss this one.
