This is the first in Dimon's Corcoran Team series for Harlequin Intrigue. It suffers a bit from series set-up issues, but Dimon is good at giving you backstory without infodumping and at working with a large-ish cast of characters, all of whom will get their own books.

The main couple in this book are estranged lovers, brought back together after Lara Bart, our heroine, is a bystander in a murder-for-hire scenario (in a crackerjack opening sequence) and is thrust into danger as a result. She goes straight to Davis Weeks, her ex-fiance and now a member of the private, undercover Corcoran Team. As the team fights a number of attempts to keep Laura from being killed, we meet the rest of the team, and as the story unfolds we spend a little time in the POV of the hired gun who is hunting her, as well as a couple of the other bad guys, and Davis of course. Until I was writing this up I didn't think about how many characters' POVs we read, because Dimon juggles them well in a tight word count. There's a little more mental lusting and lingering over perfect physical attributes than I like, but that comes with the territory in Romantic Suspense, and by the standards of the subgenre (and Intrigues) it's pretty understated.

I liked the supporting characters and Dimon sets them up well for their own books. We learn just enough to make them interesting but not so much that they take over this book. Fearless reinforces why Dimon is an autobuy author for me, and I'm glad I'm over my slump and can enjoy category romances again. In the hands of a skilled writer they're one of my favorite romance reads. ( )

In Dimon’s romantic suspense novel, Davis Weeks worked undercover for the Corcoran Team and that was his priority in life. Lara Bart had been his fiancée until the job got in the way and they separated. After showing up at his door with a gunman on her heels, Davis knew he had no choice but to protect Lara and doing so, he had to battle all the feelings for her he had suppressed.

Nice introduction to the Corcoran Team series. ( )

Very good book with plenty of action and emotion. When Lara stumbled onto a murder scene she ran to the only person she knew who could protect her - her ex-fiance. This was intense right from the beginning. After Lara fled from the first attack to Davis's house for help, they were under constant threat. I really enjoyed seeing all the things that went into keeping them safe. I also found the mystery of who was behind it all fascinating to discover. I loved seeing the research they did and how hard they all worked to figure it out. It was especially satisfying to have Lara figure out what they were searching for. The final confrontation was very good with an interesting twist. I loved meeting all of the team members and look forward to their stories.

The rekindling of the romance between Lara and Davis wasn't hard. They had never stopped loving each other but there were some serious issues that they had to deal with. Lara loved Davis but was tired of his job keeping them apart. It seemed to her that everything else held more importance to him than she did. When she called him in tears needing him to come home he told her it would be a few days so she would have to wait. That was the last straw and she left him. During the current crisis she begins to see what he does and it opens her eyes somewhat. She realized that she had been trying to change the essence of who he was.

Davis had always loved Lara, but he found it hard to open up about some things. He never talked about his work to Lara, even the parts that could be shared. He and his brother had been orphaned young and were passed around to various relatives, never having a real family outside of each other. He had no problem with the idea of commitment to Lara and a life together but he had trouble understanding what her issues with him were. I loved it when his boss told him "You might want to go back over everything and see what you missed. There has to be a reason she gave up on you." He was floored when he found out why and finally began to see where he had gone wrong. I loved the way they finally came together. ( )
