This was my first experience with this author, so I had no idea what to expect. What I found was an exciting story set in Africa. The author's descriptions made the location seem real and beautifully untamed. Miranda is a veterinary dentist who was commissioned to travel with her intern to an animal preserve in Africa to work for several weeks. Before she even gets to the presence, she is confronted with the violence of the country and also the presence of Matt who works with local law enforcement. When she later sees Matt acting as a janitor at the presence, she realizes he is undercover. Fearing his investigation will in some way harm the prestige she is coming to love, Miranda uses Matt's fear of having his cover blown in order to work her way into his investigation of diamond and gun smuggling. Miranda tends to just plunge in and look later, so Matt has his hands full trying to protect her. The more time the two spend together, the more they realize they might have something that could last if they can survive the investigation.
I enjoyed the story and the lighthearted banter between Matt and Miranda. There were also several endearing and funny animal moments. Overall, it was a great relaxing read.
I received a copy from Net Galley for review.
