Book Description

April 29 2008
A mysterious plane crash . . . a dangerous trek through the Idaho wilderness . . . a smoldering attraction . . . and a deadly game of cat and mouse. In her latest tour de force of romantic suspense, New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard blends these elements into a gripping story that will keep readers breathless–and leave them begging for more. For in Linda Howard’s world, trust can be a weapon, a kiss can be a threat, and intimacy can be deadly.

Bailey Wingate’s scheming adult stepchildren are surprised when their father’s will leaves Bailey in control of their fortune, and war ensues. A year later, while flying from Seattle to Denver in a small plane, Bailey nearly dies herself when the engine sputters–and then fails.

Cam Justice, her sexy Texan pilot, manages to crash-land the aircraft. Stranded in the wilderness, and struggling to douse her feelings for the ruggedly handsome man by her side, Bailey begins to wonder whether this was a mere accident. Who tampered with their plane? Who’s trying to reunite Bailey and her husband in the afterlife? Cut off from the world, and with little hope of rescue, Bailey must trust her life–and heart–to Cam, as they battle the harsh elements to find a way out of the unforgiving wilds and back to civilization . . . where a killer may be waiting to finish the job.

Sexy, suspenseful, and lightning fast, Up Close and Dangerous showcases a beloved author at her dazzling best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tried too hard July 27 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the second disappointing Linda Howard book I've read in the last few months and I'm hoping that it isn't a pattern. I keep getting the feeling that she's trying to force the chemistry or she's following some sort of checklist to make sure she's gotten all of the elements covered. Cam's sudden change of opinion of Bailey was unbelievable as well as their kindling romance. Basically I just made myself finish this book because I've been a Linda Howard fan for a long time and did not want to give up hope that the book would end up being as good as some of her older novels, sadly that just wasn't the case.

4.0 out of 5 stars slightly displeased Sep 24 2007
Format:Hardcover
I'm a fan of Linda Howard,always will be.But this book is second one that hits me as been slightly rushed.It begins well anough but Cam's complete 360 in regards to his feeling towards Bailey leave me feeling like there should be something more.I can see feeling more charatible towards someone in a life or death situation but come on he's cracked on the head and suffering from lost of blood and he thinks she's all that. I know most guy's think of sex all the time but this was a little to far fetched me.The stepson's attitude reversal was another big problem for me as well as well.I'll continue to bye her books but I think I'll wait till the paperback version comes out from now on.
A good example of Linda howard at her best is Cry no more,one of the best books I've ever read.That book will make you cry and cry some more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Aug 7 2007
Format:Hardcover
Bailey's strong characteristics is a big plus. She's smart and I feel she has a stronger presence even than Cam. I feel almost the entire book was a great thriller. Until the suspence is finally revealed. It just left me feeling disappointed at the whole book that I'd been enjoying so much. The main villain is not only unlikely, it's too sneaky, and I just can't seem to agree with it. It's as though the conclusion was too rushed without warning, or Howard was running out of ideas. Sorry, I love Howard's book and always defend them, but this book just didn't do it for me.
