Margaret Daley has once again nailed it with fingernail decimating intrigue while romantically tangling two wonderful characters in a fun romp through the jungles of Brazil. DANGEROUS PURSUIT is Book One in her new series, The Protectors . . . and I can't wait for more!The chemistry between Samantha Prince, a woman searching for her brother in the wilds of the Amazon, and Brock Slader, the adventurer she hires as a guide, is tangible, fun and well structured, adding just the right amount of spice. Don't expect steamy, however. The main heat in this tale comes from the climate, not the bed sheets. And that's okay. I don't mind a book that builds sexual tension with thoughts and banter instead of descriptive sex if the characters are realistic and the plot holds my attention. DANGEROUS PURSUIT succeeds on both counts.I was reminded of the movie, "Romancing The Stone", when I first started reading this book. While there are similarities - as in the bookish heroine who blossoms in a foreign country while being pursued by villains, and the roguish, devil-may-care hero who reluctantly serves as her guardian and ends up losing his heart - DANGEROUS PURSUIT provides enough twists and turns to keep things interesting and fresh.If you like big adventure or treasure hunting scenarios such as the Indiana Jones movies, you'll be pleased with DANGEROUS PURSUIT. I don't believe it's marketed as Christian romance, but could probably qualify under that genre. I prefer to think of it as a rollicking romantic suspense. Margaret Daley has written 84 books and earned a legion of fans along the way. I think her record speaks for itself.
