I am usually not a reader of these types of books, but I found an old copy of it when I was riding the bus and couldnt put it down. I must have done the bus circut two or three times before I realized I was so engrossed that I missed my stop. Thre reading continued until I got home and finally fell asleep with my sleepy head resting right on "The End." Read this book with the doors locked and a box of kleenex at hand. You'll value your privacy because this book captured the wild horses of my emotion.

Description from the book back cover:

He belonged in the jungle ... When Tara Hill first saw Rafe Tyler, she was reminded of a tiger preparing to stalk its victim. When he followed her, she realised she was right. He was a hunter, and he was hunting her. She was frightened, but she felt his power more than she would admit to him - or to herself. Rafe would do whatever was necessary to find out what had really happened to his stepbrother. He was certain that Tara Hill knew the truth, and he was determined to make her talk. But then Rafe discovered he wanted more than just information from Tara - a lot more ...

I am a huge fan of Heather Graham Pozzessere (aka Shannon Drake) and her sweeping historical romances (see my other reviews) so this contemporary was a bit of a detour for me but I loved it. The hero, Rafe Tyler, from a successful family of merchant seamen and traders, is the tiger--a hunk to die for and a wise one at 37. He's looking for his half brother who he loves who disappeared into the wilds of Venezuela two years ago in a shoot out involving a theft of antiquities and a beautiful blonde model, Tara Hill. Tara has been cruelly treated by a twisted former lover and is afraid to trust. She needs cash as she's been away from modeling and hiding for the last two years since that horrible day. The first time Rafe and Tara meet, the chemistry between them makes their blood boil, but Rafe intends to use her to get to his brother if he's still alive and does not bargain on love with a woman he does not trust. This was a well told story, the characters finely drawn and the relationship believable. Graham is simply one of the very best at romance and I love all her novels. While this is one of her shorter novels at 249 pages, it is well worth the read. You won't be disappointed!

Your fondest desires and cravings in a story-line is containedin this one gripping and interesting novel-- non-stop suspense,everlasting love, a beautifully well-written story-line, and memorable characters.
