Cooper Thompson was a take-it-on-the-chin type of guy. An attitude that had served him well as a Navy SEAL and now as an agent in his buddy’s security and protection agency, but a few years back, it had faltered when he’d discovered the reason behind his adoption. A good portion of his self-worth had disappeared…along with his fiancée. Done with serious relationships, he sticks with the … fun-seekers and steers clear of all others-especially the one with a sweet soul, long, silky blonde hair, startling blue eyes…and is the sister of one of his military brothers. Looking twice at the innocent girl he’d watched grow into a gorgeous woman is pure stupidity. She has always been forbidden fruit—one he very much wanted to taste.
Life for Abby Sharp is going well. Her brother survived active duty and lives close by. She owns a beauty salon that is just this side of successful and she’s surrounded by good friends. There is only one thing left on her bucket list: To kiss Cooper Thompson in the rain. She’s always had a crush on the guy, and since his arrival in town, she’s discovered that not only has it not gone away, it intensified. But even though Cooper is a former SEAL, and her brother is former Delta, they still invoked the military brother code and never messed with family. Which is too bad because there’s rain in the forecast, and her body is on high alert.
Discovering Abby’s bucket list proves too much for Cooper’s resolve and soon he’s sharing more than kisses in the rain with the tempting woman. Still determined to stay on the light and casual road, he reluctantly agrees to keep their ‘friendly’ situation from her brother. After all, it’s just a temporary fun walk on the wild side.
But when her life is put in danger, Cooper suddenly realizes his feelings for her are way more than ‘just for fun’ and he’ll risk everything to save her.

Cooper: It was a great adventure with Cooper and Abby! I love the dialog and how it was written. Great bunch of characters. I love how well they all work together. I liked how the whole brotherhood and no crossing the boundary never stick once they were out of the military. I really enjoyed this addition to the series and all the surprises.
This is such a good book!
It’s feel-good, sexy & moving romance.
Cooper & Abby, are perfect together.
They have cared about each for a long
time, but always keep to themselves.
That is till Cooper overheard about Abby’s
bucket list. Another great story in the series! Can’t wait for Dean’s book.
I loved everything about it!!
“Cooper” is book five in the HC Heroes series and it was a fantastic read. It is the story of Cooper and Abby, they have known each other for a while. Cooper and Abby’s brother are best friends, and since Cooper is a former SEAL and her brother is a former Delta, they have a military brother code, you don’t mess with their family. This has never stopped Abby from dreaming of Cooper, and wanting more than friendship with him. Once Cooper finds out that Abby has a bucket list and he has a starring role in it, he sets out to help her fulfill her list. The problem of the brother code is not the only problem that Cooper has and Abby vows to find out just what that is.
This book is loaded with passion, romance, family, friends, fun and a little angst thrown in. I highly recommend it to all romance lovers.
“Cooper” (HC Heroes Book 5) by Donna Michaels is a wonderful read. I absolutely loved Cooper and Abby’s story! This was a fantastic addition to the series. This story is packed with romance, passion, hot former military heroes, close friends, family, interesting and entertaining characters, humor, and more. I’m anxious to see what happens next with this entertaining group in Harland County. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, military, family and friends, and series.
If there was ever a book that could be judged by its cover this is the one!!! I’m sorry–NOT!!! As I read the story I realized this guy was actually Cooper.
For all of us die hard Harland County fans this was a must read. Visiting with old friends, enjoying the sites is a wonderful way to spend a day. That being said, you don’t have to read the other books first. Cooper and Abby are quite capable of standing on their own.
For the most part this is a forbidden romance. Carter, Cooper’s friend, just happens to be Abby’s brother. As ex-seals they take the brotherhood seriously. But some rules are meant to be broken. Some hurdles are worth jumping. Sometimes love is worth getting out of your own head. Thank goodness Cooper shook off his insecurities.
There always seems to be a lot of drama, danger in Donna Michaels’ books, but I had started to wonder with Cooper. I should not have doubted her. The author had perfect timing. Cooper needed a wake up call. Cooper needed to realize what was important. What is important is Abby.
Donna Michaels nails the sexy in her new release in the HC Hero’s series. Cooper stole my heart with his sensitive side, always looking out for others. The protective man you want to wrap your arms around and protect back.
Ms. Michaels touch of humor pops up with these crazy birds and their comments. I love how she adds a little something to make the readers giggle.
Another fantastic book on the Red’s Recommended List.
