Excited to return to field work, Dr. Cara Newman arrives in India ready for a new experience. She’ll stop at nothing to make sure her plans to find the nearly extinct Indian wild dog go exactly as she imagines. What she isn’t ready for is Jai.

Jai Subramanium isn’t sure his new partner is up to the challenge. After years behind a desk, she might not be capable of dealing with the difficulties of navigating the terrain and surviving hours under an unbearably hot sun. What he doesn’t expect is the uncontrollable passion between them.

Their forbidden romance isn’t the only thing at risk, a group of hunters threaten the lone dog, and places Cara and Jai’s relationship and careers in jeopardy.

This was a quick, fun, light & easy read from Emily Cale.  Cara  is a zoologist and goes to India for a project and she is partnered with Jai.  Their connection is almost immediate and most of the book revolves around the cultural differences between them, how they overcome them and the fight to find & save the Indian wild dog.
Likes
  • The relationship between Cara & Jai was very authentic and I enjoyed its progression which was very believable.
  • The author did an incredible job of writing the rich culture of India in such vivid detail, it felt as if I was there.  The research that the author must have done to obtain such imagery, phenomenal!  It was refreshing to see a not-so-typical setting and really brought the story to another level.  Almost as if it were a secondary character.
Dislikes
  • My only chief complaint with the story has nothing really to do with the story itself, but with the editing.  I ‘m a stickler for mistakes, I’m constantly finding them in books and this one had quite a few.  I just wish more time had been spent in the editing process.  However, I have no qualms with the story!
Great read that moves at a great pace!

I read to save my sanity, plain & simple. I am a married mother of 3 (2 of which are teenagers, yay me!) who needs an escape from the eye rolls, attitude and day to day drama that comes along with raising teenagers. Without books, I would be medicated ;)
