When Tigers Attack
After being unfairly dismissed from her previous post, Rachael Davies has landed her dream job helping people who suffer from mental illness in developing countries.
When a solo research position becomes available in Sri Lanka, Rachael jumps at the chance and fights hard to win the placement.
Victorious in her battle, Rachael is completely oblivious to the harrowing journey that awaits her. Falling in love with a man she cannot have and coming face to face with Tamil Tiger terrorists, Rachael soon learns that her real fight wasn't to win a placement in Sri Lanka; her real fight is to survive it.

I read the kindle version of this book and was very impressed!
Firstly, unlike so much Kindle content, the quality of the book was very good. It has obviously been proof read and so it got a thumbs up from me on that side of things.
As for the story itself... Well I really enjoyed it. Romance isn't my normal read but I found the characters deep and well written, the descriptions of Sri Lanka and the people were excellent ( I have been their myself ) but most importantly this was a book that moved my emotions - I was truly submersed in the plot and the ending was not what I expected!
I discovered afterwards, via Amazon's Author page, that the story was inspired by the fact that the author was travelling in Sri Lanka when the Tamil Tigers bombed the International Airport and it was these events that resulted in this book.
Anyway, I personally think that this book was a very enjoyable read and would happily recommend it to everyone here.

The author paints a wonderful atmospheric picture of Sri Lanka throughout the story and the book, in its entirety, is completely different to the impression it gives over the first few chapters – with the end being a complete surprise. The main characters, especially Rachael, are refreshingly ‘real’ and possess a likeability factor that makes the reader instantly warm to them.
The plot develops at a lovely pace and does a great job of keeping you hanging, while you wonder how the situation will pan out. Heartbreaking in places, the further you read the deep Hare takes you into Rachael’s story and you will not be able to put this down. Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster and, be warned, the ending will cut you deep as you ponder the senselessness that inhabits our world. This tiger definitely won’t bite; grab it now.
