Naked Edge
4 Stars
Synopsis:
Following a number of incidents and attacks on Native American land, Navajo I-Team journalist Kat James teams up with park ranger Gabe Rossiter to investigate the causes. As the case heats up and Kat and Gabe's passion for each other intensifies, they both become targets for an enemy who will stop at nothing to prevent them from getting to the truth.
Review:
Another hit from Pamela Clare.
The suspense plot is clever but could have been better developed in terms of clues and evidence. Nevertheless, the story is engaging and the information about the Native American culture and rituals is very well researched and contributes to the overall atmosphere of the book.
Clare is skilled at writing realistic characters from all walks of life, and Kat and Gabe are an exceptional example. Kat is intelligent and knows what she wants while Gabe is tortured and must come to terms with events from his past if he is to move forward with his life. When the two come together, the result is nothing short of explosive.
The secondary characters are interesting and the cameo appearances by characters from previous books is wonderful, especially the rapport between Marc and Julian, which left me with a smile on my face. As in the previous books, the epilogue is also very enjoyable and provides a strong sense of closure.
Clare's book are action packed and exciting. I recommend reading the series in order although they can be read as stand alones as well because each book focuses on a separate couple and crime. Looking forward to Breaking Point next.

Found the romance in this one to be the sweetest out of the four. The suspense was ok for me.
I kicked this book up 1 additional star to 5 because there's a part at the end that totally surprised me and I actually gasped when I read it. It's rare for a book to have something catch me off guard like that.

A fun read, if a little forgettable. Dare I say it, Kat was a little bit dull, not really having much to her personality beyond her issues relating to her heritage and her ideas of love. And Gabe fit nicely into the alpha-male-hurt-by-the-past-and-scared-to-love-again box (lots of hyphens!). Still, I'm a sucker for the kinds of series where you meet future heroes and heroines so I suspect I will be reading a few more I-Team books.

Waaaa.......
Baru kali ni ada seri yang aku kasih semuanya 5 bintang :O
Tapi I-Team ini emang keren sih, jadi ga usah ragu2 kasih 5 bintang
Cewe yang masih virgin tapi strong willed? Check
Cowo keren playboy, mantan Park Ranger yang jadi bodyguard, leave'em and love'em type, anti komitmen, tapi akhirnya jatuh cinta juga ma cewenya? Check
Kebudayaan Indian dan segala lika liku politik Amerika? Check
Penjahat yang ga bisa ditebak sampe akhir? Check.
Review lengkap menyusul (plus gambar2 :P)
Note : Bayangkan si Gabe Rossiter, hero buku ini, mirip Alex O'Loughlin dari Hawaii 5 O
Waaaaaaaaaaa... x_x

*3.5* Navajo investigative journalist Kat James is a virgin in her late 20's. I understand the conservatism of her Navajo upbringing and where she lived, but I found it somewhat implausible that she had never even touched herself. Kat meets rock climbing expert and park ranger Gabe Rossiter, after he saves her life. He's been hurt by a woman in the past so he becomes a manwhore to cover his pain. (Insert eye roll) Despite my annoyance with this premise, the overall story and mystery is really well done.
The heroes from books 1-3 are in this one, it was nice to have them helping solve this mystery. The ending was quite satisfying.
