Summary: Not a great book...Unexpectedly...
Comment: I have to agree with the majority of the reviewers and say that this book is not one of Lori Foster's best. However, i still bought it to read because i had always loved Lori Foster's novels and thought i would at least give it a chance. Alas, i should have paid more attention to the wiser readers/reviewers...this book was ...not good.
Usually you can count on Lori Foster to deliver a well paced, sexy story with great interesting characters, but this book as a little..off.
Ray jean is the heroine who is a female mercenary. She is hired by Eli to rescue his little brother (jeremey) who is being held hostage in central america. While Ray may be a mercenary, she never comes across as tough or independent or even likeable. The relationship between the two seems forced and predictable- with none of the usual plot twists, excitement that is usually found in Lori Foster's books. I found the plot to be predictable and plodding--it was hard to even finish the book.
Hopefully the next book she writes will return to her usually stellar stories..for now, give this book a miss.

Summary: Cover is bad- but book is fun
Comment: This time we have an Alpha male and Alpha female. Ray (the heroine) is a hired mercenary to search and rescue Eli's (the Hero) brother from the jungles of Central America. Ray is very good at her job and has a hard time letting down her guard. She doesn't trust men with a lot of money. And Eli has a a lot. Eli who has never fallen for any particular woman, realizes that Ray is what he has been waiting for his whole life. The sexual tension and physical attraction, as well as, the verbal sparring make this a fun read. It definitely is not along the same line as other Lori Foster novels, but it is worth picking up to read and stands on its own. It is acutally going to join my other Foster books on the keeper shelf. A few of her other novels that were wonderful were "The Winston Brothers", and any of the novels with the Buckhorn Brothers. Pick this one up and enjoy.

Summary: Finally... a heroine just as tough as a hero
Comment: For once there's a female lead who can stand toe to toe with the male lead and not come off as obnoxious or unlikable. I love reading romance and it isn't always easy to keep myself from wanting to throttle a wimpy, foolish female "heroine." Lori Foster's Ray is no simpering, weak fool. She can definately hold her own in any situation and that's what I loved most about this book, not to mention the steamy love scenes! Ray is a nice mix of strong and vulnerable. I highly recommend this book because it's not often you find a strong female protagonist who can throw-down in a fight or in the bedroom.
