This would have been a great story if Lollie hadn't taken so long to get a clue and Sam hadn't been such an abusive jerk. Usually in these stories, the heroine steps up and pulls her weight at some point. That didn't happen here. And it is *never* okay to call a woman a "stupid bitch", especially one that you are having sex with, never mind one that you claim to love. ( )

Lollie has had pretty much no interaction with her father since her birth. Finally she has been summoned to join him in the Philippines. No sooner than she arrives she finds herself in one trouble after another but luckily for her she has a sinfully wicked Sam Forester to help keep her safe.
Lollie should have been called "Murphy" as in Murphy's Law, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." She really does get these harebrained ideas that pretty much never work out for her but make for some funny reading for me. When she decided to cook dinner for the rebel camp she seemed to remember what to do well enough but the second Sam left oh my god lol.
Sam does not deal with Lollie in a good natured way at all. He is constantly insulting her so if you hate that you have been warned. He is one of those brooding, surly heroes who do not want to love the heroine.
Sam and Lollie get in and out of one scrape after another in their attempt to get Lollie out of the jungle and back to her father. This made for a very entertaining and adventuresome read. I look forward to reading more of Jill Barnett's stories! ( )
