Up Close and Dangerous

I just finished Linda Howard's Up Close and Dangerous. This is the first Linda Howard book I have read and I enjoyed it.  It was an adventure/thriller/romance. 

When a small plane crash lands in the wilderness, the main characters have to make their way out.  I enjoyed the author's description of the wilderness and the hardships endured by her characters. I also liked how the how characters use everyday items in unusual ways for their survival. 

Eventually the characters come to realize that the crash was not an accident.  The plot twist at the end regarding responsibility for the crash is one I never saw coming.  

Luckily for me, Linda Howard has written many other books, so I have lots to look forward to.
