Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-11 00:00:00 Jeff Killey Okay the blurb should have warned me. "Half-breed Apache" hero? Oh, dear. Hero's more than a "half-breed" (get out of my head, Cher). He's a geology professor and in the prologue, he is angry his bff is going to marry a Boston socialite, but he agrees to be best man. The heroine is the bride's sister and is angry that such a good-looking hunk of manhood would be prejudiced against her sister. So she is rude and snobby to him. Hero is frankly bewildered by the heroine's surliness since he has long-accepted his bff's choice and had no idea the heroine knew of his earlier doubts. The animosity continues when the H/h are kidnapped in a case of mistaken identity. They are taken to Columbia and held in a drug lord's lair. Luckily the drug lord never realizes he has kidnapped the wrong couple. The H/h sneak out that night and go for a week-long hike through the jungle. Normally, I enjoy a wacky premise, but this was too ridiculous. The hero managed to assemble all the necessary camping gear (tent, sleeping bags, cookware, flashlights, rope, etc ) and food for a week in a drug lord's lair without alerting the guards. The heroine does a complete personality shift from bitch on wheels to pollyanna (look at the view!). The hero is just . . . there. There are so many trailing threads by the last page that I felt more insulted than amused by such a weak ending.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-11-29 00:00:00 Frank R Shepard Jr Another of my old category favorites. It just had something. I think it was the sexiness of the hero mostly. I always did find the tall Native-American features attractive. Anyway. On her best friends wedding, Kelly immediatly butts head with the best man. She finds him terribly arrogant and unkind, he finds her shallow and too pretty to be smart. Prejudices everywhere! Bad luck strikes however, because some mafia type mistakenly thinks they are a rival maffioso's daughter on their wedding day, and they are kidnapped to somewhere in South America. When they realize they are in a pickle, they decide to escape to the jungle. (Insert great scene where Wolf asks Kelly to pack stuff they need for survival, and she packs hand creme and make-up and stuff). They head in the jungle, and it's awful (duh-uh), but while they face all kinds of jungle stuff, they slowly get to know each other, and emotions bloom. Ok, so the plot is totally wacko, but most of it is them walking through the jungle, and their conversations where delicious. I just really liked Wolf, who was stern and taciturn and a nature lover and just delicious. I think it reminds me a bit of Romancing the Stone, which was also wacko, but still fun and romantic.
