This was a good book. I feel like it deserves 3.5 stars so rounding up since it did have parts where I couldn't put it down. There were some descriptions that seemed thrown in and felt like they interrupted the story. They were still relevant, just could have been placed elsewhere. As you got toward the end the story started to feel predictable, especially the ending that...I don't know...fell flat. It was just "shoulder shrug" I figured that's what would happen...okay, next book.

Just a romance novel. She is gorgeous and brave and terrific. He is gorgeous, brave and terrific. He even gives great haircuts.

I am somewhat surprised that no one has read or reviewed this romantic suspense story before now. I have had this book in my stash for quite awhile; I am just sorry that it took me so long to read it. I now wish I could find other stories written by Charlotte Maclay. Unfortunately, except for a couple of Harlequins, this looks like the only title she has had published.
Rafe Maguire is a retired US Army Ranger earning a living training the local military in Chile on how to fight. Taylor Travini arrived in this South American country to find her twin brother, Terry, who went missing. She is not aware of anything illegal or suspicious at this point. Terry loves to photograph animals and sometimes lets time fly. Taylor has been known to come to his aid before but soon realizes that her twin may be in more trouble then either realizes. The locals are hiding things from her and someone is trying to get her to leave at any cost, including killing her.
Rafe sees Taylor for the first time in a seedy bar asking questions and realizes she is in danger. From here on out the action escalates. Taylor lets him help her out of this jam and soon they become partners in connecting the dots between the Chilian mafia, some terrorists and high-ranking political officials. What has Terry got himself into? This is the question Taylor needs an answer to besides locating him so they can go back home.
At thirty nine years of age Rafe has wondered recently how he can continue his job at his current pace. Rafe lost his young wife and child three years before and he has had quite a time letting his personal life move on. Taylor is nothing like his deceased wife in looks or actions. Of course there are some implausible scenes that I found hard to believe that Rafe and Taylor could make it through but in this respect the book read like a James Bond novel; things happened to keep the action flowing. The chemistry between Rafe and Taylor was great.
Actually, I could see this book being developed into an action-romance movie with a smart director. All things considered, if you like a quick read and can get past some of the crazy things that happen to our hero and heroine, you should like Rafe and Taylor's story. The conclusion to their adventures makes sense so give this book a try. I think you will be glad you did.

Nice romantic story with lots of fast paced action,as well as a bit of international intrigue. Well written,I enjoyed it,a good Sunday afternoon read, on a cold winters day.
