First I want to say, I loved all the I-team books and couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. I do have my favorites out of the other 4 books but all were a great read. You don't want to put this one down, and I wished there was another 100 pages, at least, when I got to the end. That to me is a 5 star book. I always like to get re-acquainted again with the previous characters and they are an integral part of this book. You may want to refresh your memory on who's who before reading this book. It was a page turner from the first and it never let you down..My kind of reading!
I've read the other I-Team books and was really looking forward to this one. It started out great and ended great, but it really dragged for me in the middle. Their trek through the desert took up too much of the book, and was actually quite boring. The action picked up back in Colorado, but that section of the book could have been a little longer. It could have easily been a 4 or even 5 star book with the desert scenes cut down and the ending expanded. As is, I'm giving it 3 1/2 stars.
U.S. Marshall Zach McBride has endured a week of torture at the hands of a Mexican Drug Cartel called Los Zetas. Now they have captured journalist Natalie Benoit and put her in the cell next to Zach. Natalie is a voice in the darkness that gives him the strength to live another day. With her help, they break out of their prison and make a break of the U.S. Border. They must elude the drug cartel who wants them dead and cross the desert to safety.
I absolutely could not put this book down. It's the fifth book in Clare's I-Team series and the best so far. The story contains three of my favorite elements...a tortured hero, a couple on the run, and a hot romance. I also like that we have an usual setting at the U.S./Mexican border. And, we also see past characters play significant roles in this book which made the story even more interesting. My rating: 5 Stars.

what an awesome story. loved Zach so much!
This series just keeps getting better with each new book. I loved Zach and truly enjoyed Natalie. This is one awesome book!
I have read all of the books in the I-Team series. I loved the first one and loved this one as well. I would give both an A. The other three get B or B+. They were good, but this book was great!
Natalie Benoit is a gritty Southern Belle that is taken hostage, presumably for trying to save her colleague when their bus is ambushed by the cartel in Mexico. Zach McBride is already in the prison she ends up landing in. They work together, rely on each other, escape, plot, plan, doubt each other, hike across the desert, fall in love and return to civilization. And that would have made a great book, but that was only half way.
The second half of the book is about why Natalie was taken and who really is responsible. It is can't-put-the-book-down-delicious.
It is not over when the mystery is solved. Clare ties up Zach's personal angst in a way that makes the reader go ahhhhhh.
Great book. Highly recommended.

luv me some deputy us marshals....woohoo
Love this series. Love this book. It has everything you could ask for: suspense, romance, drama and ties in with the other books. I hope there are more on the way.
Fantastic book! This was a page turner. Pamela Clare knows how to suck you into the story! The characters are strong, smart, and sexy, with a streak of humor. I can't wait to read Pamela's other books!!
Absoulutely excellent book. This book appeals to not only romance readers but has alot of action and drama in it as well. Highly recommend to both genre's. I didn't realize this was a series so now I plan on going back to book 1.
While I have enjoyed all of Pamela Clare's books immensely, she has outdone herself in this one. It is very gratifying to see an author grow, and she has gotten better and better with each book. I have read thousands of books, & I don't think I have given out a half dozen 5-star ratings, but this one definitely deserves it. It has action, adventure, romance, sex, a good storyline, very bad villans, a very,very strong hero & heroine - I can even see this book being made into a movie. Put some time aside so you can really get into this book - you won't be disappointed.
Another great book by Pamela Clare. Hope this series continues ... all the books are wonderful and a fast read.
OMG! I was introduced to the I-Team and to Pamela Clare with this book. LOVED IT!!! Wanted more! Suspense, action and romance all in one. Oh and incredible women and hunky men too.
