Summary: 4 Stars

Max is an ex-patriot on the run in Mexico's most dangerous sections of the jungle. He carjacks a woman named Lori Harding while she is on a much-needed vacation in Cancun. Lori hasn't been on a vacation in years due to her constant care of her ailing mother, when she dies, she leaves money to her two daughters and Lori uses some of it to travel. Little does the prim school-teacher know that her proper and controlled life is about to be turned upside down! Lori is dangerously attracted to the carjacker's muscular body, but chastizes herself for such "ditzy" thoughts and has a hard time trying to control her thoughts and feelings. Max is also dangerously attracted to the uptight woman he deems as "a good girl" and very out of his reach. Max has many deep-rooted problems and he cannot share his life with any woman. Lori soon finds out why and tries desperately to help him, but he doesn't want her help.
The story takes you through the steamy and tropical jungles of Mexico's Montana Mountains, one of the most remote jungles in the world and through the backroads of Mexico's rainforest. The descriptions were unreal and you felt as though you were there with Max and Lori. This tale teems with excitement and action and never stops! This should be a movie! The love that blossoms between them is steamy and heartwreching! Max is one of those heroes you wish you knew and Lori is someone you can connect to on a realistic level. If you're looking for adventure, non-stop action, running, hiding, druglords, and a little taste of 'Romancing the Stone', this is it! I loved it and couldn't put it down! This book restored my faith in Karen Robards. The only other book I read by her was "Island Flame" and I was dissapointed, but I decided to try again with this book, "Wild Orchids" and I was pleased. This is definately a keeper!!!
