I picked this off of a list of books with a mean hero. Boy were they right. He was an ass to her for a large part of the book. Great reading if you're looking for that, which I was. This was a hero and heroine running from bad guys through a jungle themed book. I love that theme. It was very well written and pretty tightly plotted. I enjoyed watching them fall for each other. He did eventually loosen up and become nicer to her but he always remained very alpha.
They had some problems adjusting to each other once they got back to civilization which was realistic. I think some running in the jungle books end when they make it out and you wonder how they'll deal together without the adrenaline of danger holding them together. Plus this girl show more was a rich spoiled young woman who hadn't grown out of that element yet and he was about 14 years older so they did need to learn to adjust. That portion was also well written.
Enjoyed it. I might have to read some more off of that list. :-) show less

Journalist Lisa Collins was fast discovering she was out of her element in a world of war. She had come to Africa to get a story. She got more than she bargained for - a dramatic rescue from terrorists by a masculine, rugged soldier of fortune named Sam Eastman, and feelings as primal as terror and desire. Shaken, yet safe in Sam's strong arms, Lisa Collins, intrepid and independent reporter, had shocked herself by begging to be loved.

Once a pampered rich girl, beautiful Lisa must find a way to survive alongside the sexy, lethal soldier of fortune whose only goal is to get both of them out of the country alive. Fighting the explosive chemistry between them as they try to stay one step ahead of the revolutionaries chasing them, Sam and Lisa reluctantly fall in love. show more Then real life catches up with them.... show less
