I was sitting on the edge of my seat from the first chapter on, right up to the very end. Just when you think you might have figured out who was doing what, she throws you another loop. And when you think it's all said and done...she throws even more at you in the last few chapters.This book starts off with bear poaching in the Northern Canadian Mountains. The author painted such a picturesque setting of the characters surroundings, while they were exploring the mountain side looking for the poachers. If that doesn't intrigue you, then she also throws in a little bit more mystery into the mix. From there she adds attempts on the main characters lives, by a mystery person. Why someone would want to harm either of these two people at this point is even a bigger mystery. After all; Alex is a Conservation Officer doing the job that his paid to do. Bear poaching has been going on for quite awhile, but they had never had anyone shot or killed over it...until now. June is a Natural resources student, who just happens to be around when Alex shows up to investigate a reported bear killing, that was called in by some hikers. Since hes not quite sure where the bears body really is at that point, so he invites June to tag along as an extra set of eyes. After they found the bear and investigated the scene thoroughly, they start to head back to the camp.... when they find themselves being shot at.From that moment on... there are more and more threats,most of the threats being aimed at June though. The author even throws in a very unexpected death. After all of that..one might think that the all the big suspense would end there, right? But no, the twists and turns keep on coming.Though it all these to begin to form a close bond, which later turns into a very passionate romance. The question is...will they live long enough to pursue this relationship further?Would I recommend this book? Yes, especially if you love fast paced, sit on the end of you seat type of suspense and romance novels.
