Series: Silhouette Intimate Moments | Publication Date: October 1, 2002

U.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 she learned Rick helped put her career on the line. Now, in an attempt to learn what really happened, Eve and Rick return the crash site. But being back in enemy territory soon proves safer than revisiting the scene of their first heated kiss.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hard Book to Put Down!!!, September 30, 2002

By 

Candace Irvin - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crossing The Line (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Paperback)

This is the first book of the Sisters-In-Arms series.

US Army Captain Eve Paris was battered and bruised when her Black Hawk helicopter crashed in a Central American jungle. The crash took three lives and Eve's life was changed forever. The only survivors of the crash were Captain Rick Bishop and Eve.

Because of Eve's injuries, she must rely on the survival skills of Captain Bishop to get them safely out of the jungle. Rick knows that he has to get them out of the country before the government troops can locate the crash site. If they are found, they could be shot on sight.

Eve and Rick feel guilty about the loss of their fellow crewmembers. As Rick and Eve fight their way though the jungle, they are also fighting the attraction that they feel toward each other. When they are rescued, Eve is evacuated to a hospital and Rick is returned to his platoon that is helping the neighboring country.

Six weeks later, Eve learns that the she has been grounded because of the report that Rick had filed. She decides to return to the crash site to see if she can find out what caused the crash. When Rick learns that Eve is going back into the jungle, he decides to go with her. They will again be putting their lives and careers on the line.

Candace Irvin has written a moving story that will hold you from the beginning. It will be a hard book to put down! Look for the next installment of this Sisters-In-Arms series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too Awesome to pass up!, November 18, 2002

This review is from: Crossing The Line (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Paperback)

I am a fan of military romances and this one is a definate keeper - just like Suz Brockmann's Seal Team! I couldn't put this book down. Capt Eve Paris is a strong character with weaknesses that we all have. The chemistry that happens between Eve and Rick just sizzles! I love the twists and turns in this book! The love scene was soooo hot and at the same time so expertly done - Candace you hit pay dirt on this one! I love a book that has me gasping and shouting or laughing or crying out loud. Much like Suz Brockmann's does! And what is going on with Anna Shale? I absolutely CAN'T WAIT until her story comes out! Bravo - don't miss this one! SISTERS-IN-ARMS - keep them coming!

5.0 out of 5 stars TOP OF THE LINE EXCITEMENT!, November 3, 2002

This review is from: Crossing The Line (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Paperback)

An excellent military romance of flawed people who need to forgive themselves.

Captain Rick Bishop is running away from commitement. And not from any recent involvements.

U.S. Army Captain Eve Paris has resolved the tragedies of the past only to incounter fresh ones involving her "Sisters".

She loses Carrie and Rick loses his best friend, Sargeant Bill Turner - and now there is a problem with Anna? Not True?

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M -- With on the edge of your seat excitement, well paced - does not drag - Another keeper.

Oh, please, now we need Anna's story. [Anna Shale, Lieutenant, U.S. Navy]and maybe Captain Tom Wild, U.S. Army - trouble in the making.
