"Full of page turning excitement!"
I'm a big fan of military romances and in my
opinion, Candace Irvin writes some of the best ones! All
of her books are hard to put down once I start reading them
and this one lived right up to my high expectations! Captain Eve Paris and her co-pilot and best friend
Carrie Evans fly their Black Hawk into San Sebastian in
Central America to pick up Captain Rick Bishop and Sergeant
Bill Turner. Carrie and Bill are in love even though Carrie
is higher rank than Bill and he's enlisted but neither
cares. Carrie and Bill have eyes only for each other. Then
Eve and Carrie realize that something is wrong with the
Black Hawk but before they can do anything they crash.
Carrie and Bill are killed but Eve and Rick survive. Now, Eve and Rick have to get out of the jungle
before they are caught by rebels and killed. They spend a
harrowing time but are finally rescued. After they get
back, Rick has to give a statement as to what he thinks
happens and because of his statement, Eve is stripped of
her wings. Now Eve wants to go back to the wreckage to
find out exactly why the Black Hawk acted like it ran out
of gas and went down. Rick feels guilty about the whole situation so he
decides to take leave and accompany Eve to see what they
can find out. Besides they both have contacts who might be
able to help them. When they arrive in Central America,
not only are they shocked at what they find but there's
something else going on as well. Not only that Eve and
Rick are reluctantly falling in love with each other but
neither have the time nor the inclination for love. What
are they to do about this situation? This was one roller coaster of a ride from the
first page to the last. I hung on for the duration and was
hooked. Eve and Rick were perfect for each other even if it
took them a while to figure it out. Each was equally as
stubborn but I didn't give up hope that they would finally
figure it all out. I hated the fact that Carrie was killed
but I'm crossing my fingers that Candace Irvin will write
stories for Eve's other "sisters". I highly recommend this
book!

SummaryU.S. Army pilot Eve Paris' entire life changed when her
chopper crashed in the Central American jungle, leaving her
battered and wracked with guilt at the loss of her copilot
and best friend. Her injuries forced her to rely on the
survival skills of her passenger, Special Forces Captain
Rick Bishop, a man she had no business being attracted to--
especially once Eve learned Rick helped put her career on
the line. In an attempt to learn what really happened, Eve
and Rick must return to the crash site. But being back in
enemy territory soon proves safer than revisiting the scene
of their first heated kiss...
