This book has a classic jungle adventure feel to it, like romancing the stone but much better. As a matter of fact, if you saw Romancing the Stone and thought, "This could have been a great movie... except it isn't... " you'll love this book. The tension is perfect. I loved the dialogue between the H/H. They fight each other every step but it is wonderful fun. Not tedious like some books get when the H/H have constant disagreement. I guess because they obviously like each other.

Linda Howard is one of my favorite all time authors. Though I do prefer her earlier books, especially her historical ones, this is my favorite of all her later books.

This is probably my favorite Linda Howard book besides "Dream Man," "Mr. Perfect," and "To Die For." It's very steamy and has lots of action also!!! I loved it.

When Jillian goes through her deceased father's things she finds information which sends her off on an adventure to find evidence of a secret civilization of Amazon Women (I kid you not). Along for the trip is her rotten, good for nothing step-brother and a shifty drug dealer who is funding the archeological dig. She brings the brother along for some lame reason but you just have to go with it.

She allows the two men to hire the best guide in the area even though she is suppose to be the archeologist and should be in charge. But what do I know? Ben, the guide, is a cocky guy ruled by his genitals. Fortunately Jillian has remembered to bring along her birth control because you know she's going to need it.

The rest of the book is an adventure to find this hidden civilization with such obstacles as pirates (!), wild beasts and of course each other. It was a bit over the top and the romance seemed very out place considering the circumstances but as escapist fantasy I guess it was alright.

A highly readable and almost believable fiction tale. The characters are believable and devilishly clever at hiding their secret agendas. Who wouldn't want to discover the whereabouts of a true Amazon tribe?

This one and Cry No More are my favorites of all her books, and I've probably read about 15 of them so far. This one has it all: suspense, jungle adventure, superstition, struggle to survive, and a very, very sexy hero and hot romance.
