Since you probably already know what the book is about, I will just give my reaction to it.  I loved the hero, he is a hunk.  Human but still the hero.  Liked the side characters as well.Now, the heroine.  This is where the story turned sour for me.  She is a photographer, pictures from the two wars, and now on assignment for a magazine taking pictures in Costa Rica.  She is a trust fund baby, raised with everything and more, but is determined to be independent and do everything her way.  Ok so far, but she seems to work over time to be one of the boys.  She can out ride, out drink, out play, etc.  Except for having a great body and a beautiful face, I wondered why the hero was even attracted to her.  She certainly didn't have a sense of fun or a great personality. She seemed to have a chip on her shoulder to me.One thing I can't handle is the heroine making the hero look like a chump.  She does this on every page.  I finally gave up as she was drinking him under the table...a real attractive trait.  I'm sure he was in store for more stuff to be pulled on him but I just didn't want to go there.  I really didn't like her.  Of course, she had her problems but it didn't seem to keep her from being rude, abrasive, etc.  I just couldn't warm up to her.  In fact, I got rather tired of her showing him up at every turn.  Sort of cuts him down to his knees every time they get together.  And then she has to plot to show him up in front of everyone for not getting a frog off her leg quick enough.  Oh yeah, Isn't she super, embarrass him in front of his peers, that earns points.  I'm sure he is going to love it and think she is so cute! NOT.She seems to have no regard for others either.  She pushes the envelope to get the best shot, not giving a thought to the fact that she is endangering other people's lives to be the hot shot!  I made it 42% and then I just quit.  I didn't want to even see HOW he Rescues Lacey.  Sorry , this one just wasn't for me.  I'm sure a lot will enjoy it so I suggest you read and make your own decision.
