maybe her choices may not have been the best in her situation. When the reader 'sees' things through her eyes, everything seems SO logical, but when it actually plays out.
Jane (Priscilla) Greer is charming, witty, sassy, and brilliant. Grant Sullivan is an 'Original' Uber-Bad-Ass, dominating, possessive male! Grant and Jane's chemistry is amazing, rarely have I felt a hero and heroine to be so completely perfect for each other. There's lots of steamy heat in the love scenes too, which are sensual and fairly graphic but tasteful (no anaconda jokes please). And jump at the anaconda scene *shudder*. Most of the book takes place in the jungle, which is painted so well that I could feel the steamy heat. I admired her too, no way could I trek uncomplainingly through jungles for days on end with little food or water, even with Grant's fine ass swaying in front of me. I've never read a heroine quite like her.

Jane is refreshingly free of this, but she's quirky, zany and just unique. Too often so-called "feisty" heroines turn out to be TSTL, putting themselves and the hero in repeated jeopardy because they think they know better than a trained warrior. Jane Greer (don't call her Priscilla!) is far from the bubble-brained twit Grant expects, she's intelligent, resourceful and brave. One of the hottest heroes ever! Readers who love protective alpha men or Southern bad boys should run to get this book. He's also tough, capable, manly, rugged, commanding, and sheer sex on a stick. Grant is dead emotionally, unable to even relate to his family, and holed up on a remote Tennessee farm when he's called into action one last time. Without going into graphic details, Ms Howard paints a hero who's seen too much and done too much, both in his special ops work and previously in Vietnam. It's the well-developed leads and their sizzling chemistry that make this story special. There's a microfilm involved, which the villain and other nefarious types are burning to get their hands on, but this is just the McGuffin.
If only she still wrote like this! The plot is simple enough - burnt out special ops hero must rescue spoiled socialite from villain's Costa Rican lair. In fact it is one of my top 5 favorite Linda Howard books. It is more exciting, more action-packed, more romantic and plain more fabulous than many a longer mass market paperback published nowadays. Midnight Rainbow was originally published as a Silhouette Intimate Moments in the '80's and is about 250 pages. This was a great read for anyone who loves a good jungle romance with a great main couple! And I loved the Costa Rica jungle setting! I also liked the suspense and tension as they were being hunted in the jungle by the bad guys. This couple had great chemistry and I enjoyed the sexy love scenes. But was very sweet and thoughtful at times towards the heroine.
He was sexy, strong, and a bit of a loner. The hero Grant Sullivan-a 38-year-old retired military expert. She was a heroine who actually listened to the hero when he gave her instructions in the jungle when their lives were in danger. She was quite brave and gutsy at times but also vulnerable and likable. The heroine Jane Greer-29 and divorced, she was no TSTL (To Stupid To Live) heroine. What follows is an exciting, suspenseful, and romantic story. Ex-government agent Grant Sullivan is hired by a wealthy man to get his daughter, Jane Greer, out of the Costa Rican jungle where she is being held captive by a powerful man who thinks she has access to important microfilm that he wants.
