This story takes place in the mountains, but without snow (thank you very much, I really hated "Ice"). My least favorite plot device is the giant misunderstanding, there is very little of it in this book (Linda's pretty good at avoiding that, which is why she is one of my favorites). Her next book could the best one she's ever written who's to say. Is this the best book Linda Howard has ever written? I don't know, I doubt it though. And neither will stop until they reach their prey. 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 500-pound beast. Luckily, Dare is camping nearby and hears the shots. Before the killer can tie up this attractive loose end, a bear comes crashing through the woods - changing the dark game completely. 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. And now the infuriatingly handsome Iraq war vet has siphoned away Angie’s livelihood, forcing her to close up shop.īefore 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. 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. Three years ago, Dare returned home to rural western Montana and opened a hunting business to rival Angie’s. After all, why give Dare the satisfaction of knowing he can push her buttons and push her to the edge? Thirty-two-year-old Angie Powell has always spoken her mind, but in the presence of Dare Callahan she nurses a simmering rage. ![]() But the movies are also part of USA’s new strategy of broadening its offerings with reality, half-hour comedy, movies and mini-series.In this captivating novel of romantic suspense, New York Times best-selling author Linda Howard brings us deep into the wild, where a smart and sexy outdoor guide and her ruggedly handsome competitor must join forces to survive - and avoid becoming what they never expected to be: Prey.

While Prey is being done as a one-off, with with 19 other books in the series, it could potentially turn into a movie franchise in the mold of Tom Selleck’s Jesse Stone series of films on CBS. “Mark Harmon could read the phone book and we’d probably want to put it on the air!” USA’s president original programming Jeff Wachtel quipped.
