Commando
HE WAS NO STRANGER TO PERIL
As a mercenary, Jake Randolph had faced danger and walked away unscathed. Yet, as a man, he’d confronted love—and lost much more than his heart. But his latest assignment, locating beautiful Shah Sungilo Travers, reminded Jake of what was missing in his own life.
Shah had traveled to the Amazon to escape unwanted male attention. However, Jake’s determination to keep her safe was quickly wearing down her resolution to lead a secluded life. Jake claimed the jungle was no place for her, but would Shah be any safer in his arms?

359 books2,495 followersI've lived six lives in one and it all shows up in the books I write, one way or another.
I was always a risk taker and broke mustangs at thirteen years old in Oregon. I learn to break them with love, not threat or pain.
At 17 years old, I picked night-crawlers (worms) out in our Oregon orchards from 9pm to midnight, every night. I earned enough money to buy my school clothes and book. I also plunked down $600 to a flight company at the Medford, Oregon airport and asked them to teach me...a girl...to fly. I soloed in 12 hours, which is average. From that time until I left for the US Navy at 18, I had accrued 39 hours of flight time in my Cessna 150 single engine airplane.
I was in the US military and was an AG3 (weather forecaster). There was no airplane club, so I couldn't fly when I was in the Navy. But I could look at the clouds in the sky ;-).
Later, I flew in a B-52 bomber for a day and night mission (18 hours total), a T-38 Talon jet, USAF, where I was riding in a "chase plane" on a test flight in a Dragonfly jet.
I was one of the first AFLA (American Fencing League of America) women fencers to fence with epee and sabre. These weapons were closed to women because they were too 'heavy' for a female to handle. I said baloney and fought the males and won half my bouts. I was part of a surge of women fencers on the East Coast in the 1970's to push for equality in the sport. Together, we changed the sport and changed the mind of the men. Today? In the Olympics? Women now fence in foil, epee and sabre, thanks to what we did as a vanguard showing the world it could be done.
I then became a volunteer firefighter when I was a civilian once more, the first woman in an all - male fire department in West Point, Ohio for three years. I became a local expert not only in firefighting, driving the engine and tanker trunks, but also had training in hazardous material (Reynoldsburg Fire Academy, Columbus, OH).
My books always reflect what I experienced. If you like edgy, gritty, deeply and emotionally intense love stories with sympathetic heroes and heroines, check out my newest series that will be available mid-Oct. 2015, and it incorporates much of what I have lived.

Last in the Morgans Mercenaries series. Of the three books, I kind of liked the first one, not so much the second one, and barely survived the third. So much repetition and it just drug on and on……..Had to force myself to finish it.

As every book of Lindsay's this was a heart throbing love story. It as only 244 pages and I read it quickly. Enjoy it, you will like it.

Extra emotional pieces were too outrageous to move past (loss of family), etc. felt hot over the head with the ecological agenda and man hating

These early books in the Morgan's Mercenaries are enjoyable books and I like some of them better than the newer books.

Boring and pedantic. Sorry, but the dialog was stilted abs too sickeningly sweet. The emotions and characters issues were drawn out add nauseum. It was ok, but didn't really good my interest.
