Search - Heart of Fire (Pocket Books Romance)

This is one of my favorite Linda Howard books. Very sexy hero.

Adventure in jungle. Fun to read.

Linda Howard is one of my favorite all time authors. Though I do prefer her earlier books, especially her historical ones, this is my favorite of all her later books.

This takes place in the Amazon and is full of wonders,and mystery.

Thorough character development, especially of the hero Ben Lewis, made this book enjoyable.

This book has a classic jungle adventure feel to it, like romancing the stone but much better. As a matter of fact, if you saw Romancing the Stone and thought, "This could have been a great movie... except it isn't... " you'll love this book. The tension is perfect. I loved the dialogue between the H/H. They fight each other every step but it is wonderful fun. Not tedious like some books get when the H/H have constant disagreement. I guess because they obviously like each other.

This is probably my favorite Linda Howard book besides "Dream Man," "Mr. Perfect," and "To Die For." It's very steamy and has lots of action also!!! I loved it.

Set in the Amazon jungle, this story is about a search for proof of mythical amazon women's existance, a jewel and a "bad" boy. Romance, adventure

Very Good. If you love Linda Howard you will enjoy this read.

Neither of them could forsee what the days ahead promised: an adyssey into the fiery heart of passion and betrayal, and a danger that would force them to cast their fates together, immersed in the eternal, unsolved mysteries of love.

A fabulous lost Amazon city once inhabited by women warriors and containing a rare red diamond: it sounded like myth, but archeologist Jillian Sherwood believed it was real, and she was willing to put up with anything to find it -- even Ben Lewis. Ruffian, knock-about, and number one river guide in Brazil, Ben was all man -- over six feet of rock-hard muscles that rippled under his khakis, with lazy blue eyes that taunted her from his tanned face.

Archeologist Jillian Sherwood attributes her lackluster professional reputation to the fact that her late father, also an archeologist, was notorious for his supposedly crackpot theories, such as one about a lost city in the heart of the Amazon jungle that was home to a band of Amazon women warriors. Equipped with a map from her father's papers, Jillian is determined to find the lost city, thereby salvaging her father's reputation and her own. She is accompanied on the two-month expedition by Rick, her half-brother, who still resents her being daddy's favorite; Steven Kates, an unprincipled crook who has money to fund the venture and plans to steal anything valuable that turns up; Ramon Dutra, a jungle-wise thug; and Ben Lewis, an experienced guide who is more macho than any human being needs to be. Unfortunately, the more intense their adventures, the less realistic they appear because the characters have charmed lives. A pirate attack, an encounter with a jaguar and a hazardous walk along the side of a mountain give Howard's ( The Touch of Fire ) romance an adventure-yarn feel, but since Jillian seems to be virtually indestructible and Ben, as her only possible love interest, is inevitably guaranteed survival, the book lacks real suspense.
