Review: I'm a bit on the fence about this book. On the one hand, the whole kidnapping-and-ending-in-a-South-American-jungle thing kept me curious enough to stick with Hot Soldier's Chase until the very end.
But on the other hand, the story is so full of stereotypes and inconsistencies that doesn't sound very realistic. Kimberly acts like an intelligent woman one second and like a dumb blond in the next. And Tex seems to pay more attention to lust than to the dire situation they are in. Honestly, I'm not sure I want my taxes to pay for soldiers like him...
Overall I was not convinced by the story. The basic plot was good, but could have been much better with the right characters.
The epilogue is actually a cliffhanger into the next book in the series (Hot Soldier's Chase is actually book one in the Blackjacks series by Cindy Dees), but those few lines are also so riddled with stereotypes that I'm not sure I will be picking up book two in the near future as I don't expect that much of an improvement over book one.
Happy readings,
