Naked Edge

Naked Edge - Pamela Clare

What do you do when desire drives you to the very brink?The day Navajo journalist Katherine James met Gabriel Rossiter, the earth literally moved beneath her feet. Nearly killed in a rockslide while hiking, she found her life in the tall park ranger's hands. Although she can't forget him she thinks she'll never see him again. She is crushed when she recognizes her rescuer among the law enforcement officers raiding a sweat lodge ceremony one night, throwing her and her friends off Mesa Butte, land they consider sacred.Gabe long ago swore he would never again lose himself to a woman not even one with long dark hair and big eyes that seem to see right through him. But from the moment he first sees Kat, the attraction he feels is undeniable. Appalled by what he has been ordered to do, he's determined to get to the bottom of recent events at Mesa Butte and to keep Kat safe.But asking questions can be dangerous almost as dangerous as risking one's heart. And soon Kat and Gabe's passion for the truth and each other makes them targets for those who would do anything, even kill, to keep Native Americans off their sacred land.

Opening Line: "Gabriel Rossiter unzipped his pants only far enough to free his"Well, what can I say? Another fantastic addition to the I-Team series (#4) Ive come to the conclusion that Pamela Clare can do no wrong, as each book in this series is unputdownable. Just excellent romantic suspense that never dumbs down the reader. Actually I think thats what I appreciate most about her writing (besides the smoking hot love scenes) the fact that Clare writes a clever story with characters you can believe in, faults and all. I never catch myself going yeah right, thats ridiculous with one of her books and I usually learn a thing or two as well.And DAMN, lets just get this out of the way, can she ever write a drool worthy hero. Gabe oh my god do they get much yummier than him (acknowledging all her past heroes of course.) But Gabe, the climber, the descriptions of him scaling rock faces, hanging on by his fingertips while his muscles bulge and tense just about did me in. These men of Pamelas truly are in a league of their own. How could a girl ever choose a favourite?Wearing only his dark green uniform trousers he was climbing on the underside of an overhanging lip of rock perhaps thirty feet above the ground. She couldnt see any ropes His body moved like shed never seen a body move before, powerful arms reaching for handholds, fingers gripping holds she couldnt see, his feet finding their own invisible purchase. His body seemed weightless, muscles bunching and shifting in their own rhythms as he worked his way along the length of the overhang, his motions strong and beautiful. Oh. My.So yeah now that Ive got that out of my system. Naked Edge is actually a very sweet love story in amongst all the bullets and danger, revolving around journalist and Navajo nation member Katherine James and Rock Jock Park Ranger/adrenaline junkie Gabriel Rossiter. I wont go into the plot as there are already so many fabulous reviews out there but I will say that there was a shocking event towards the end that I had to read twice because I just couldnt believe it and add a couple of things I loved.-Loved that Marc Hunter and Darkangelo had significant page space here, so that as well as giving us updates on their lives we get to see that their new bromance is progressing well (Dorkangelo) these guys are hilarious together. I can easily see Gabe joining their ranks.-Loved all the Navajo nation, Diné history and language and have to compliment Pamela Clare on her extensive research and the time and love she puts into every one of her stories. It is noticed and appreciated.-Loved, loved, loved the epilogue. 10 months later which really gives you an insight into their HEA and how their new life together is progressing. Very well I might add! Cheers 381jb4

I had heard wonderful things about this book and am so happy to say that I wasn't disappointed. Here's how much I enjoyed it: my daughter has a double ear infection and is throwing up and not eating or sleeping, and when she finally goes to bed I should probably get some sleep ASAP. But instead, I stayed up until 1am to finish Naked Edge. Once I got to the last 50 pages, there was no way I could put it down.All in all, an awesome book, and one I definitely recommend to fans of romantic suspense.

Though I liked this one I didn't like it as much as some of the others. It was a bit slower for one and for two the hero and my son share a name. So hearing the audible narrator guy moan my son's was just odd. I just had a hard time staying connected to the story. I will say that if the hero was named Tom or Bob or Mike or something I would have liked it a whole lot more.
