To complement the tempestuous diva Raybourn crossed her path with that of J. Ryder White, safari guide to only those who can afford him ... and the only one with enough backbone and stubbornness to go toe-to-toe with her cynical wit and leave her feeling that she got as good as she gave. Their one-upmanship is humorous, but also revealing on both sides. Everyone has a past, and Africa tends to lay it all bare, leaving behind broken hearts and shattered souls - or lancing the poison and allowing old hurts to mend. And it is during this life-shaking process that Delilah finds herself within the beating heart of Africa itself - the home she'd never known, the people who come to see her as their best hope, a friend whose freedom and life she would to anything to protect, and a man who recognizes the missing part of his soul in the one he knows he shouldn't bet his heart on.
This was an extraordinary book that I flew right through. I wanted more when I was done, but the ending really is just about perfect. I can't wait to see what Raybourn comes up with next. Bravo!
