5 Stars! ~ Savannah is desperate to prove to herself, her father, her ex-husband and her ex-lover that she is a great surgeon and has the strength to endure the danger zones of Columbia. The mission in Columbia is Javier's. He's dedicated his medical career to save as many as possible in his rebel torn country. When Savannah arrives Javier doesn't want anything to do with his former lover, and fears that if she doesn't leave he'll lose his sanity. Savannah is thankful that Javier has no grounds to send her away. Not only are her talents needed but Savannah's own personal self-worth is at stake.

WOW ... this is truly an amazing read! ... I'm thrilled that Ms. Gates' excellence in story telling continues on in her second book ... The story of Javier and Savannah is a passionate one.... the emotion of their personal stories and the stories of the plight of the people of Columbia is heartfelt ... bravo to Ms. Gates!

page 20 .. "That just hurt. Crippled. Oh, God, don't let him see how much. God heard her. The tropical sky, clear just minutes ago, darkened then wept, obscuring her tears."

One of the most intense books I've ever read! In romance, in action, in sheer human drama. The setting in colombia is unique to me, and seeing this side of the country and the human suffering there was eye opening. Among the incredible details and the medical drama is one of a kind.
I'm really, really wondering why this book isn't famous and sold everywhere and being talked about in blogs and reviews.
Oh, well, at least I discovered it and had the great pleasure of reading it. It was the first book I've read for Olivia Gates, and it was by complete chance. I've read all her books since, and though only a handful of books turned out to be in the same genre (medical drama) everything she writes has her voice, and that's been what made every book a five-star book. This, and all her other books, come highly recommended by me.

This book was EPIC! I can't believe how much I got out of it. Beside the inferno-hot romance I learned so much about a place I knew nothing about (Colombia), about the plight of a lot of people there, and the medical scenes were mind-blowing and so integrated into the relationship and the plot it was amazing. And that bondage scene!!!! OH, MY! I'm still amazed these medical romances by Olivia Gates have been so poorly treated, with terrible covers and no advertisment and no publishing even. That book isn't even available as an ebook, and I'm wondering how the publisher doesn't know what absolute GEMS they have and are wasting. I had to buy this book used, and I would have paid hardcover price for it!

Another masterpiece medical drama from the incomparable Olivia Gates. This time she takes us to Colombia within the framework of a broken romance between two people literally from different worlds in every way possible. The way the find their way back to each other surrounded by so much suffering and pain and triumphs is breathtaking. Another book that should be out there on bestseller lists and revered by readers, and yet another book that's been published under a ridiculous title, a terrible cover, and not even available to be purchased anymore. I really wonder if anyone at the publisher realizes what a treasure they've thrown away?

Η πρώτη μου επαφή με τη συγγραφέα, μου άφησε τις χειρότερες εντυπωσεις και ειλικρινά βλέποντας την υψηλή βαθμολογία ,άρχισα να αναρωτιέμαι αν διάβασα άλλο βιβλίο ή αν ευθύνεται η μετάφραση για αυτό το χάλι!!!Η μεταφραση ομως δεν έχει να κάνει με την παραποίηση του κειμενου σε καμιά περιπτωση!Ομολογώ οτι ξεκίνησε πολύ δυναμικα με εναν υπέροχο προλογο αλλά μετά μας τελείωσε ο πρόλογος και μπήκαμε στο σήμερα !Δεν υπηρξε καμια συνοχή στο κείμενο! Φτάνεις στη μέση και δεν γνωρίζεις ακόμη τι ακριβώς έχει συμβεί!Επαναλήψεις διαλόγων και συναισθημάτων απλώνονται συνεχεια μπροστά σου αλλά αυτο που θες να μάθεις το κρατά επτασφράγιστο ,ουτε κατασκοπευτικό βιβλίο να διαβαζα.Δυστυχώς είναι απο τα βιβλία που βλέπεις το οπισθόφυλλο και το ξεκινάς με μεγάλες προσδοκίες οι οποίες φυσικά δεν έρχονται ποτέ!
Το μονο αίσιο είναι ότι διαβάζοντας βιβλία κάτω του μετρίου όπως το συγκεκριμένο ,μπορείς να εκτιμήσεις και να νιώσεις τη διαφορά που κάνουν κάποια άλλα!
