Ex-soldier is hired to rescue a kidnapped socialite, who's suspected of espionage. Jane is great - she reminds me of Jillian from Heart of Fire - clever, spunky, gutsy but logically defers to Grant when it comes to survival. Grant is the tough, broody loner who can be an ass, but he's also very protective of Jane. Despite early misconceptions, they make a really good team, and understanding + feelings soon grow.
It was great seeing their walls come down - the chemistry's strong, and the romance is fiery and passionate. They got together fast, but in a way that feels natural. I loved their moments together, especially when Grant is being sweet and caring. And Jane's heart and love for Grant is wonderful. But Grant kinda annoyed me during the late standoff. The action is fast-paced and fun, with obligatory danger banging (my catnip).
