Again, Elaine Raco chase creates dialogue that repeatedly reinforces my belief that hers is some of the best I have read (or heard).  With a remastered story that was originally published in 1987, there are some elements that feel dated, but really - what doesn't in this ever-changing world?  People haven't evolved dramatically, and their need to find love and fulfillment with a partner is a constant, no matter the year.  Both of these characters are dimensional people - not all good or all bad, they come with baggage and aren't afraid to show it.The heroine, Cam, is rough and tough, independent and comes from a family of daredevils who hide that trait by becoming masters of their game - stunt performers.  Thor is a bit of an old-school cowboy, with a Dudley-Do-Right protecting his Nell at every step.  When the two worlds collide, and Thor realizes that Cam is not a damsel in distress needing to be saved, it rankles.Finding the two discover a common ground, and realize that they are good together, despite the frequent dust ups about danger is a great listen.  There is humor, snark and gorgeous descriptions that place you in the wilds of Montana, with the never fail to amuse stops in the action.  There is steam, there is swearing, and most of all - this is a feel good book, that will have you laughing and smiling throughout.The narration was really good, although there were several times when it felt as if the two narrators were stepping on each other's lines.  The conversation in Elaine Raco Chase's books is so well crafted that it's not necessary to adjust the pacing; there is time to breathe and still not lose the context or emotional impact of the words.  A clever story with just enough heat to feel contemporary but not a purely erotic romance, this is one that is a good introduction to this author's works and a great listen for an afternoon or two.I received a copy of the audiobook from the author for purpose of honest review.  I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
