Are you an adventure lover? A thrill seeker? A back to
nature sort of person? If you answered yes to any one of
these questions then PREY by Linda Howard might be
the perfect book for you.
However, if you're more like me, a couch potato who
doesn't even like to think about camping and other outdoor
activities that test my survival skills even if only in the
pages of a book, then PREY may not be the book
for you.
Angie Powell has returned home to take over her deceased
father's business. What was once a prosperous
business is now facing difficulties because of the economy,
and because a rival has set up "camp" right next door. Dare
Callahan is a former military man, and runs a hunting guide
business right next to Angie's. By the very nature of the
business people tend to look to a
man to guide them versus a woman, but there are still a few
who look to Angie. One of these is Chad Krugman whom Angie
has taken on a trip once before.
I will tell you that when Angie goes scouting for signs of
the bear that Krugman and his associate are supposedly
hunting she finds a very disturbing site, and insists that
the camping trip be postponed so that authorities can be
notified of her find. From that announcement forward
nothing goes the way Angie or
Krugman planned.
For those readers who love adventure, and
surprising twists and turns I'm positive their eyes will be
glued to the remaining pages.
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 wood—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.
