This book is a good jungle survival romance. The two leads have trouble with trust issues but find common ground in the love and death of their siblings. They also help each other survive drug dealers and the deadly jungle. The story line that began in Dark Deceptions continues here with the troubling realization that someone in the A-TAC organization is sabotaging their missions. The person and the reasons behind it are unclear and will continue in future books in this series. Another good read by Dee Davis.

When I read a book a little outside my usual range, and I'm not thrilled with it, I have a hard time deciding how much is me and how much is the book.
I kept thinking that if I could just put on the same "just go with it" mindset I do when it comes to movies,I might have really enjoyed it.
There was the kick-ass woman and the guy who comes to her rescue, both of them shooting people right and left, jumping over waterfalls, making their way through the jungle. When they stop moving, the inevitable happens, this being a romance novel.
I mean, what's not to like?
As it was, I didn't find the characters (major or minor) to be behaving as I thought they should have in the circumstances. I thought there were a few too many coincidences, and the misuse of technology bugged me, even when the same things wouldn't have flowed right by me in a movie.
In the end, I was entertained, but this book wasn't for me.

Much more enjoyable than #1 in the series! A quick moving, adventurous, romance-spy novel. Enjoyably simple read.
