Narrado por: Melissa Sternenberg

Hired gun Zak Chambers expects to provide a simple escort service to philanthropist Sara Ambrosini, but nothing is as simple as it seems, especially love.

Zak Chambers is a disillusioned hired gun who longs for a connection with life beyond her sat-phone and assignments she can't share with anyone. Her boss lines up a cushy escort job to Africa to give her time to refocus. But the country she loved as a child holds memories she isn't ready to face.

Adding to her ambivalence about returning is the immensely attractive Sara Ambrosini, head of Ambrosini Philanthropic, who sees everything through the rose-colored glasses of wealth and privilege. Zak's task is to provide security for Sara until they reach the future site of her primary school for tribal children in the bush country. But Zak soon discovers that Sara's stubbornness and independence aren't the only obstacles to the success of her assignment.

Good Story

This was a good story. It was a bit different from her other stories it otherwise, it was a well developed plot. I enjoyed the main characters and it feather believable. The narrator did a good job with the story.

This was an interesting story

This was an interesting story, with the background of Africa. It was a wonderful story with interesting characters that shown through the story. Well done Ms Powell.

Not the Author’s Best

I made it to the end. Somehow. Too many implausible situations kicked me out of the story. Points in the plot felt exactly like…well, plot points!
I normally like Powell’s writing. Not this time, though. And I didn’t like the sex scenes at all. I won’t get specific enough to merit a spoiler alert. I just didn’t buy the portrayal of Zak as a near-rapist in one scene. WTF???
The narrator did a good job with dialogue but sounded like Siri reading a dictionary for the bulk of the book.
