Dangerous Stranger

by Naomi Horton

HUNTER'S PREY

Jordon Walker knew all about trouble. Not only had she been raped, but no one had believed her. She'd had to get away, and researching eagles in the wilderness of British Columbia seemed safe enough--until someone started shooting at her. Lean and rugged, Kel Stuart had come out of nowhere to save her, but could she trust this dangerous stranger?

Kel had spent months tracking down Jordon Walker. She'd ruined his brother's life, and now he was going to make her pay. But when he found her, he only wanted to protect the wary woman. With short hair, baggy clothes and a shotgun in hand, she looked nothing like the cool, poised beauty he'd expected. And he began to wonder what had really happened two years ago....

I was a bit unsure going into this book because I normally try and avoid books with rape but I enjoyed this one. The heroine was fearless and kick-ass despite what she had been through which was brutal. Two years later she has changed her life, ditched all signs of femininity and lives remotely tracking eagles and bravely facing bullets and poachers. The hero comes after her with an idea that she is some conniving woman who destroyed his brother's life but from the start he faces someone he didn't expect and despite wanting to not face the truth it is blatantly in front of him. When he finally does faces up to it and wants to leave her alone Trey Hollister, our hero from her book In Safekeeping throws him back in to track a killer. One face-to-face with her again he can't stop himself from getting close, helping her face her fears with intimacy all the while hating himself for his initial deception. I liked the heroine's reaction when she finds out his true identity and wished she hadn't so easily forgotten everything when his life was in danger. All in all another good book by this author.
