Color me shocked. A Harlequin written in 1981 starring a surgeon heroine!
The heroine doesn't want to be a nepo baby so she refuses the cushy hospital position her father has readied for her, ignores her mom's nagging over her biological clock, and takes herself off to a rural town to join a small practice where she is going to get the hands-on experience she has always wanted.
And she was plausibly written as a doctor, it wasn't merely an empty title that was used as pretext to put her into contact with the hot doctor hero. She was doctoring her way through the story like nobody's business from childbirth assistance, to emergency surgery, to rescuing the victim of a highway crash, she did it all Like A Boss. I loved it!
The hero is a commitment-phobe Lothario and proud of it. Heroine is his next target and he keeps giving her punishing kisses and bruise-leaving gropes Thankfully though, no pipe smoking. Maybe it's all the pipe smoking that makes YW's other heroes such assholes?
The heroine is attracted to the hero, even falls in love with him but she refuses to settle as his temporary bed-warmer. When the hero makes it clear he is only interested in a no-strings affair, she holds strong and resists her traitorous body and her heart. Atta girl! It was clear he fell hard for her very early on and he was just deluding himself that he could have just another affair with her. He really cared about her and couldn't help showing how much, even behind all the cynical grandstanding. I really did believe that he genuinely fell in love with her, realized that his life would be meaningless without her, but more importantly, he respected her as an equal, and considered their marriage would be an amazing partnership, not a restrictive cage.
I never thought I would enjoy an YW book. This has restored my faith that I can perhaps find some very enjoyable reads amongst all her trainwrecks featuring homicidal, sadistic abusers and the dimwits who love them.

The aptly titled Dance of the Snake was published in 1982 and is awash in the anachronisms that made the 70s so revolting. As other reviews mention the heroine is tops, but we have a hero who is somewhat lacking as in the fact he is a smarm bucket of magnificent proportions. It's not enough that he has a painted up big city woman come down for some sexy times on the weekends, is a confirmed bachelor, but he starts putting the Rico Suave moves on the heroine from the gitgo. He is a Brut wearing, card carrying male chauvinist pig. I can promise you that under that nice three piece suit he is wearing a gold medallion. His hero.
When he isn't trying to blatantly seduce the heroine he is condescending regarding her female approach to doctoring that even extends to how "female" she was doing surgery. Huh? My proof is the word "mocking" is used 27 times and its derivation is scattered throughout the book.
I enjoyed the story because I enjoyed the heroine and her practical attempts to be a doctor, her do-gooder ways, and her scorn for the obvious ploys of the hero. When the snake dance comes and sets her senses ablaze I knew our time was over and the hero had won. I am afraid to say that once the evil OW is dispensed with and true love is confessed it looks as if the heroine's doctoring phase will be over so she can fulfill her true destiny: to be the H's wife and future mother of his brood.
He'll be cheating in six months.
I really need to go back and read Magic of the Baobab as I feel I owe it a star.

As bookjunkie said in her review, this is a five star heroine with a two star hero. Both H/h are doctors. Heroine has joined a practice in the back of beyond to challenge herself. Instead, her biggest challenge is putting up with the hero, a doctor who has loving on his mind, but not marriage.
There are a lot of other interesting things going on in the story with medical cases and the heroine bringing an orphan for visit in hopes that a childless couple will be happy. It's all very sweet.
Hero was besotted and too stupid and scared to know when he was in love. Now that they've figured out what they mean to each other, I can believe their HEA.

A man is like a python when he is ready to seek his mate. His hunger is swift and strong when he uncoils, and when he strikes there is no escape.'
"Dance of the Snake" is the story of Jessica and Dane.
Our heroine is a qualified physician, who goes to the small town of Transvaal to gain experience in a small clinic. Hoping to work with an elderly surgeon, she never expects to meet his enigmatic partner, the chauvinistic playboy, our hero. The couple get off on a wrong start, with the hero constantly questioning and mocking her clinical skills, and hitting on her sans commitment. Despite all his toxic masculinity and haughty attitude, he is a good doctor and shows occasional bouts of humanity, which is why I'm guessing the heroine falls for him? Gah.
Honestly, my favorite parts of this book were the updates of Olivia, Bernard and happiness for Vivienne. I loved how the heroine fought for herself, and always proved her worth, but I do not know how she fell for the pig..*cough*..I mean the hero. He had few redeeming qualities IMO, and all her did was come on heavily at the heroine.
It's 2019, and I still face ahole male colleagues at my workplace which is why I think this book did not sit well with me. I do feel the author tried to explain the difference between male and female doctors, but that's quite sexist (not that I expect more from a book written in the 80s), and I feel we can still be great physicians, irrespective of our genders or feelings. Also, getting married and babies are not #goals for all women.
Meh.

No sense in wasting time, I guess! Spotted Naksed's review 2 hours ago and looked it up immediately. Quick, good little read, and it's always a pleasure to have a heroine who is in a highly skilled field, takes her job seriously, and is good at it!
Best part:
Damn, Jess was cool!
I give it a 3.5 only because... well, Dane gave off mixed signals to me. I couldn't figure him out. Was he really as chauvinistic as all his comments made him sound? Cos he said some pretty rude, stupid stuff about women. I loved how everytime he scornfully told Jess she sounded like a woman, she'd calmly say, Good, cos I am one. Seriously, like did he wanna shame her for being female or what. He kept second-guessing her decisions (like delivering the baby at the farm) and belittling her compassionate efforts (like the plan with the orphan), and basically treating her opinions/ideas with less respect than I'd expect from two equals.
So basically it was a 5-star heroine with a 2-star Hero.

it was a decent read!but oh boy!!did I love the heroine !!she was amazing!!I was cheering for her throughout the book .unlike usual HP heroines who just melt into a puddle whenever hero so much as touches them and then allows them to ridicule them,this heroine was like a breath of fresh air and totally maintained her dignity throughout .she was an amazing surgeon ,a pilot and very kind person who thought about her patients physical as well as mental health !she's too good for the arrogant hero but I was happy that towards the end he came crawling back to her.well the hero was arrogant and chauvanist but atleast he was not an utter bastard!a fairly decent read !

A heart warming romance. This time I fell in love with h. She was smart, witty, courageous and loving. If they had consummated their love, it would have been 5 stars.

The heroine was FAN-tastic! She was smart, attractive, accomplished. A wonderful and caring doctor. AND she was a pilot!
She was so great. Why did the author insist on pairing her kick-ass heroine with a Hero who is a mocking chauvinist manwhore, who sexually harasses our heroine when she wont give in to his forceful lovemaking? Not to mention, they are collegues in the same clinic, its just so wrong.
The heroine DESERVED so much better.
Side note:
What is amazing is, because of present technology, I was able to pull up a couple of snake dance videos on YouTube. There were only about 10 or 12 dancers in the vidoes I saw, but according to the book, the dance the Hero and heroine attended had about 200 dancers. That would have been amazing to see!

This story came up recently in my feed. I had no idea that it was part of a series(each book stands alone, but we see how past characters are doing!) Anyway, I think this is the first time I have actually read the first book in a series first(Magic of the Baobab. This is the 2nd and I loved that I got to see how happy the characters in the first book are.
Let’s begin with this heroine:
Jessica, the h, is pretty kick ass! She is a 27 year old Dr. who has a pilot’s license. She was the star of the book. She was caring and independent. She was not a doormat, and was unwilling to give up principles that she believed in. (She is a virgin, and will only be induced to give up that status with the promise of love.) She had to deflect the H’s many attempts to seduce her, while putting up with his male chauvinist ways.
The hero, Dane, is a 35 year old Dr. who has indicated that marriage is not for him. He finds the h very tantalizing especially when she is angry. He really tries hard to get with her, even kidnapping her to his house for dinner.
He has a side piece that comes to visit him from the city on occasion, and quite the reputation as a modern day rake. He is constantly telling the h how it is with “women”. He wears his male chauvinism badge with honor.
Our h has no problem telling him that is ideas are archaic.
Yet despite all of this, our h finds herself falling in love with the H. At one point she is so taken with the moment, that she almost cashed in her V chip. However, they were interrupted and her purity stayed in tact. We also see some glimpses for the H falling in love with the h. Especially when he gets “hurt” feelings.
Overall, this was a nice love story. One can/must believe that the H has finally met his match and has burned his little black book. He has told her he has no issues with her working for now….yet it is hinted that she may have other ideas once she is impregnated with his splendid sperm. This book is written in the early 80’s, so women are really starting to make their presence known in the workforce. However, for most romance readers, the h’s final destination needs to be that of loving wife and mother with an H that adores her with a passion that leaves her sated for years. In the more modern HP’s, some of the h’s actually keep their careers while embracing motherhood. In one book I read, the H happily manned the home front instead.
I enjoyed the dialogue in the book. When the h spoke, it gave me a really good idea of her personality. I could also imagine her giving the H the look….a lot!!

Other than physical appearance and sex appeal I could not figure out what there was that attracted the heroine to the hero. His personality was aggressive and cynical.

Reading this i was trying to figure out what the hell was Dane's problem. He was obviously excellent doctor, but the jibes he was trowing at Jessica made it obvious that he was envious and perhaps a little jealous of her practice and relationships she develops with her patients, and then it didnt seem like that was completely it, until it clicked at about 3/4 of the story... He was a chauvinistic pig that is going to be put in the right place...
Witty and funny. Had me chuckle and laugh quite a few times. I felt cheated at the end though. Wished it had more elaborate ending and epilogue, but then that is
Re-read this... Again... Lol

Did not feel any chemistry or closeness between the MC at all. The H had a permanent sneer on his mocking face (the fact that he has a mocking expression on his face is pointed out to us ad nauseam).
He forced kisses on the h and this apparently made her fall in love with him? I found nothing that would give her reason to even like him. He talks down women in medicine every other page. The one good thing is that the h defends herself. Sort of.
The H says, amid the declarations and whatnot, at the end that he has learn from her that there is more to doctoring then the diagnosis. So some form of learning ability in the H at least. Mehh

"I guess every man has a bit of chauvinism tucked away somewhere in his make up". Thus loftily pronounces Dr Dale Trafford whose own chauvinism isn't so much tucked away as towed behind the aircraft on a ten foot tall banner. Given that Dr Jessica Neal is the one calmly and professionally piloting said aircraft you have to hope that the H is being royally mocked by the author. They are enroute to a medical emergency, Jessica having already dealt with a home birth and a dying trucker overhanging a ravine earlier in the book. She's the absolute business so what she sees in this unreconstructed mcp manwhore is a mystery. He's like a dog with a permanent bone(r).Their first conversation at her home not long after meeting and she asks him to leave.
"Why?"
"Because I want to go to bed."
"So do I."
I mean, subtle he is not. He's a good looking Mustang driving doctor which presumably has led to him never having to work on his personality.
He made so many awful pronouncements about female abilities I'd practically bitten through my retainer by the time of the airplane ride. I only kept going out of a desire to see him get a thorough comeuppance. I was begging for her to need to carry out an emergency orchidectomy on him in the jungle with a rusty spoon but no.
At one point he locks her in his consulting room and orders her to take her clothes off (no chaperone back then, ofc) and when he tries to force the issue and she slaps him, it's Jessica who is "horrified by her own actions" and who has "done something totally unforgivable." Still. Not to worry as he immediately twists her arms behind her back until they ache and kisses her til her mouth bleeds and her neck is forced back til it almost snaps. So balance has been restored 😶 Next thing she's examining her actual bruises and supposing she got off lightly because Dane "was not the kind of man who would tolerate that sort of treatment from a woman...even though her...action had been motivated by fear." Ooo-kay then. So she toddles along to his room to apologise and gets kissed again.
Add to all of that the constant "it's time you got married and had children of your own" from all and sundry and I kind of decided that while I love vintage, I am glad those days are (mostly, at least in the overt sense) over. He grovels beautifully at the end but somehow I find myself wondering how many women ended up with guys like this and are still waiting for the grovel to lead to permanent meaningful behaviour change. Some vintage titles manage to keep relationships sensual in spite of clashes and keep the H masterful and dommy and infuriating without overstepping onto dodgy ground. And some don't.
Well written and I finished it despite the eye rolling rage. It is good to keep reminding yourself (these days more than ever) of how things used to be. This was from 1981. Perilously recent.

Literally the worst book I've ever read. I don't DNF ever, but I skimmed the last hundred pages of this because as soon as the two leads get together it is completely unreadable. The female lead is actually kind of cool, but the male lead ruins that. It's sexual assault excused as romance, plain and simple. She literally won't touch him or kiss him willingly. He holds her arms behind her and forces himself on her. He threatens her when she won't take her clothes off, literally locks her in his office and tells her no one will hear her screams. And then he decides to marry her in less than a week's time so they can have sex and it's a happy love story? No.
I rated this 1-1/2 stars because the female lead was so well written. But that even feels generous.

An average romance. Quite predictable but enjoyable enough. I liked that the heroine was a doctor.
The H seemed threatened by her accomplishments thus his mocking remarks.
But of course she presented a challenge. She was playing hard to get and got herself a husband in the end.
Not enough angst for me to give a higher rating.

Nice read, but as noted by other reviewers, you have a 5 star h settling for a 2 star H. I suspect that she is right and he is marrying her more cause he can't get her any other way and she is going to have to stay on top of him their whole lives. He's a jerk, and she hasn't changed him.
