Publisher's summary

After two years and too many lost troops, Navy medic Max de Milles is ready to go home. Her last tour is up in four days and she will soon be catching a transport to the States. Life is looking good until she gets detailed to evacuate a humanitarian group in south Somalia.

Rachel Winslow and her Red Cross team are caught in the crossfire during a vicious civil uprising, but she refuses to abandon her team members as the rebels close in on their camp. By the time Max and the Black Hawk arrive, it may already be too late.

Hunted by extremists, Max and Rachel are forced to work together if they are to survive, and in the process, discover something far more lasting.

Hoo-Rahhhh

The Weather is not the only steamy presence in this romance ,Sailor Max and the brave aid worker Rachel , manage to find each other even under heavy fire . Radclyfe went above and beyond in the realistic department, I was exhausted just listing to this intense tale of love in the middle of a war zone . I found the action not being in the bed room refreshing , don't panic it wouldn't be a Radclife without that but it was nice not o have sex as the point of focus .

One of her best

Action packed with terrific characters in a new setting. I put off this book because I didn't want to read a military romance. So glad I caved--it's an adventure with a Radclyffe twist, and I could not put it down. Abby lends perfect voice as always, and there are hints of Blair and Cam underneath. That's never a bad thing. I would love to see a sequel to Taking Fire, as it seems Max and Rachel have more story to tell.

wow what a story

So, this book had me on the edge of my seat more than once. it was a great romance with a plot I almost had to skip to the end just to make sure there was a happy ending.
wish there was a second book would love to follow their lives some more.
It's a must read.

One of my favorites!

The book is well written with tight dialogue. Abby Craden's dramatization brings it to life. I have enjoyed the Radclyffe-Abby Craden combination for author-narrator mix for audio books.

worth listening

I really enjoyed the audio better than reading it myself. I believe the narrator, her tone, her voice makes all the difference in the world. I am a fan of Abby Craden. And it makes Radclyffe books more enjoyable now with audio. I was tired of Radclyffe same scenario. They meet, they fall in love, they fight because one of them doesn't think she's worthy, they make up and it ends. I think I found with audio, especially , having the right narrator, I appreciate Radclyffe more. A must listen!

Great book by great author!

This is the first book with narration by Abby Carden that I've heard. She is very talented and precise.
As for the book, Radclyffe has written another amazing story. This one is set in a very different setting and quickly draws the reader to the new place. Kudos to all.

Awesome story and great narrator

Really liked the action in this. Radclyffe never disappoints plus the narrator was great not only with the voices but also the tone she used with the storylines that weren't dialogue.

Not enough to the story

This was good in the beginning, but after escaping from the jungle the story was just lacking. there wasn't enough detail and background to support the remaining storyline. It fell short in my opinion.

Always love when Abby Craden reads. She changes her character’s voices just enough, but not so much that it detracts from the story.

Enjoyed it… but…

I wish the author, narrator, and producers would do a little more homework when it comes to military and medical storylines. Corpsman is pronounced core-man, not corpse-man. There were a few other missteps which detracted from the storyline.
