Helicopter pilot Annie O'Donnell had made a split-second decision deep behind enemy lines--a decision that nearly cost a man his life. Now it was up to her, and her alone, to make sure he got home in one piece.
But Major Thomas Folly wasn't exactly making it easy. Even badly wounded and trapped in hostile territory, the battle-hardened soldier was a very dangerous man--and not just to the enemy.
He was easily the most powerful, most compelling man she had ever known. And as they raced together toward freedom, she was having a very hard time keeping her mind on the mission--and her hands off the major...

Review: Behind Enemy Lines is an oldie that lived in my to-read pile of books for a long time. As I recently enjoyed going through Cindy Dee's Beyond the Limit, I decided it was more than time to read Behind Enemy Lines.
Sadly, I was terribly disappointed. The only great thing about Behind Enemy Lines is that it's a quick read. Other than that you have: one silly female character that is almost an offense to all the women serving their countries in the armed forces; one macho male character that cannot keep his head focused in the mission because he's too busy asking above mentioned female character to sin with him (when he's not ordering her around to do house work); one covert operation where you go from being under strict surveillance in a hospital to a rented house where everyone comes and goes freely - because the hostile country they are in is apparently full of dumb people who cannot keep track of their own surveillance targets even when they're on the brink of war...
Silly, silly, silly.
Strangely, Behind Enemy Lines has a 4 stars rating on Goodreads, so I'm left wondering if I read the same book as everyone else. But what I did read - I don't recommend.
Happy readings,
