In this captivating novel of romantic suspense, New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard brings us deep into the wild, where a smart and sexy outdoor guide and her ruggedly handsome competitor must join forces to survive—and avoid becoming what they never expected to be: PREY Thirty-two-year-old Angie Powell has always spoken her mind, but in the presence of Dare Callahan she nurses a simmering rage. After all, why give Dare the satisfaction of knowing he can push her buttons and push her to the edge?Three years ago, Dare returned home to rural western Montana and opened a hunting business to rival Angie’s. Complicating matters is the fact that Dare has asked Angie out (not once but twice) and has given her a gift of butterflies in the process. Angie has no patience for butterflies. They only lead to foolish decisions. And now the infuriatingly handsome Iraq war vet has siphoned away Angie’s livelihood, forcing her to close up shop. Before Angie is to leave town, she organizes one last trip into the wilderness with a client and his guest, who wants to bag a black bear. But the adrenaline-fueled adventure turns deadly when Angie witnesses a cold-blooded murder and finds herself on the wrong side of a loaded gun. Before the killer can tie up this attractive loose end, a bear comes crashing through the woods—changing the dark game completely.Luckily, Dare is camping nearby and hears the shots. Forced together for their very survival, Angie and Dare must confront hard feelings, a blinding storm, and a growing attraction—while being stalked by a desperate killer and a ferocious five-hundred-pound beast. And neither will stop until they reach their prey.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with some of the posters giving this book 1-2 stars.

I pre-ordered this book, paid full price AND shipping, and eagerly waited for it to arrive in my mailbox. I was prepared to sit up all night long with a great Linda Howard book ... I went to bed at 10:30. I ended up skipping page after page of endless, mindless detail about every single tiny little thought that went through every single character's mind every single second of the entire freakin' day. Despite the fact that there were probably only 10 to 15 lines of actual dialogue by this point, I knew by page 88 what was going to happen, and I was right. And - what's up with giving valuable page time to the thoughts of the BEAR?!?

The main characters were well written, I'll say that, even though I agree with another poster who said that too much time was given to the thoughts and motivations of the killer (both of them, actually). While it's important to understand the background of the villians, there were times I wondered just whose story this was, Angie's or the villian's?

The sex scenes were just okay, which is how I'd rate this book - just okay. I own almost every single Linda Howard book, and will absolutely purchase her work in the future, because I know I can (usually) count on her for a good, solid romantic suspense story. In my opinion, this is not one of them.

I can not beleive Linda wrote this, I was asleep during the first chapter, how boring, save your money! This is one of her worst books I have ever encountered to read. I am sorely not happy with this book, how can it be good to the above reader>?

Before I start this review, let me just say this: Most of the time, I only rate books when they are a 1 star or 5 star. I only take the time to write reviews when feel either strongly positive or negative about a book. With this one, it was strongly negative. The main reason is because I'm a romance reader. I LOVE romance. There are some people who just want a good story or a good suspense, but for me for a book to be good and enjoyable, I need some romance & chemistry......

Anyway, up until now, Linda Howard has been my favorite author. I knew when I picked up a Linda Howard book, I'd be getting a story full of romance, chemistry, HOT attraction, AND a really good story; probably a suspense. So, I was coming into this book with great expectations. The date of Sept 6 has been circled on my calendar for months waiting for this once-a-year treasure, and then THIS book is what I got. I almost started wondering if someone else wrote this book and put Linda Howard's name on it. What happened to the all-night page turner romance, sizzle, and suspense???

This book is filled mostly with the most mundane and tedious things. Eighty percent of this book could have been left out. So much time was spent describing mud, horses, mountains and very little on character building or development of the two main characters attraction. For the first 30-40% of the book, the characters had only one small interaction together outside of the realtor's office. I was reading on a kindle, and I had to skip past so much mundane "page fillers." Almost wonder if she simply had to fulfill a certain amount of words for this book and just about bored us to death with too many descriptions of rain, mud, horses, etc.

There was absolutely NO suspense on who the bad guys are. Those were clearly spelled out from the beginning. No surprises there.

With most of Linda's books, I read and re-read them over and over again because they are wonderful books that have so many facets to them. This book will be filed away as something I never want to read again.....it was just too torturous the first time to get through.

I sometimes wonder if Linda Howard has forgotten who her base readers are: Romance readers!! Yes, we do want the hot sexy scenes, but they come out really bland if you haven't built up to it correctly with lots of chemistry and personality. This book had sex scenes but they just seemed bland to me. Very bland.....and I think it was simply because she didn't lead us more into their initial attractions and spark that brought them to that point. Saying he's been lusting after her for 2 year isn't enough.

Sorry :(

Even though this book was absolutely horrible with no spark or sizzle or romance, I WILL buy Linda's books again the future in hopes that the Linda Howard books we all know and love will return. Maybe next time, though, I might check out from the library or something so that I don't spend any money until I know if it's boring like this one or not.

Never thought I would describe a Linda Howard book as boring. This book, however, is probably her most boring and formulaic book of all. Pages and pages of internal dialog that kept repeating and repeating the same thoughts over and over. I don't know what has happened to my beloved Linda Howard. I think the pod people took over her body and are cranking out the same boring books, one after another, which would account as to why her last 4 books have been so bad. Yet, I still keep on buying them in the hope that a winner will be out there, like the Linda Howard of old. Am I a masochist?

I was surprised so many people disliked this book on the reviews here. I picked it up at the library and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it so much. I like the female character, who seemed consistent for someone who had been on her own for a long time. I thought the two romantic charachers were so well suited it was fun to see how well they fit each other. They were both extremely introverted kind of people who enjoyed being in the wild and had enough social skills to take people out/keep them safe so they can get paid to be in nature, but weren't really the social type. It was fun to see this type of romance where you don't often see two introverts fall in love. It was also very aborbing to see the female character confront her fear of bears. I think about this book from time to time and have thought I will read it again.
