Summary: Very Good
Review: Arianna Worthington wants to travel to the Amazon to study and draw orchids. It was a dream she shared with her dying mother. Now Ari is ready to face her domineering father for a chance to go. Unbeknownst to her, her father has arranged for a special mercenary to guide and protect her. Rafe Antonio is a wonderful hero. He is tall, strong, honorable, protective, handsome, intelligent...have I forgotten anything? He sounds almost to perfect to like and yet he is very likeable, compassionate, and lonely. Arianna, on the other hand, has little self-confidence. She is introverted and delicate, but also creative, joyful and loving. It takes Rafes strength and confidence to help Ari find herself. She also has help from Inca, (a great character from previous Mckenna stories) who is an extremely powerful woman. Rafe finds in Ari, someone who feels the same wonder and joy he does about the Amazon rainforest. There is great emotion between these two, NOT just lust. Another terrific story by Lindsay Mckenna!

Summary: He was a man who followed his passion regardless the price..
Review: For my readers, this is the beginning of a new 3-book trilogy, Morgan's Mercenaries: Maverick Hearts. These books are about men who broke the mold, who listened to their own inner, driving needs fueled by dreams and desires that could no longer shackle them to their present life.Man of Passion is my 50th book! I can't imagine writing so many books. But that was 20 years ago and time has flown by. I hope my readers continue to be entertained by what moves me and makes me want to eagerly sit down at the computer to create another novel :-). So, July is a month to celebrate! Rafe Antonio is a man of passion; for what he believes in. Born in a very rich family with a noble past, he kicks aside the traces of what is expected of him by his father and family. Instead, what moves his heart is the plight of the South American Indians in the Amazon jungle in his country of Brazil. He is a bulwark, a knight from another age, who understand too clearly that his presence among the Indians as a 'backwoodsman' (a forest ranger) means their life or death...and possibly, his own death someday because miners, loggers and drug lords want his larger-than-life presence out of Amazonia so they can plunder, steal and kill the Indians to get what they want: greed and money. Arianna Worthington, blond haired, a norteamericano from a very powerful and rich family from Washington, D.C., is driven by another passion: To fulfill her mother's dying wish to find, draw and publish a book of orchids from Amazonia. Unsure of herself, yet driven by her dream to fulfill her mother's last wish, Arianna goes to Brazil against her father's wishes. If not for Morgan Trayhern, who runs Perseus, a top secret military and mercenary company, Arianna would be left to the mercy of wild and untamed Amazonia. Luckily, Rafe Antonio agrees to be her guide, though in reality, is her body guard....even if she doesn't know it. Two people, both with passion, with dreams, collide in the heat and humidity, the raw, unbridled beauty and danger of Amazonia. Rafe is determined not to lose his heart to this blond-haired waif who lives by her emotions and her bright, scintillating dreams. Arianna, on the other hand, came to Amazonia to live a dream. Little does she realize that her dream of a knight in tarnished armor, will not only capture her heart, but her imagination and passion for living as well. The dark clouds of Rafe's enemies close in around them. Will he be able to protect Arianna as he promised her father and Morgan Trayhern? From himself? From violent drug smugglers? From a dark, mysterious, dangerous and beguiling land that captures them both within her lush, fragrant bosom of magical possibility? I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did writing it. Book 2, A Man Alone, comes out in November, 2000. Book 3, Man on a Mission, February, 2001. Happy reading! Lindsay McKenna

Summary: Power and beauty
Review: I loved this book. It's unlike anything else I have read, and that's a definite plus. Its power and beauty make it a must buy. The hero and heroine, Rafe and Ari, are full-blown characters with depth and feeling. The storyline is exciting and makes you wish you were there! I can't wait until the secondary character, Inca, shows up in her own book, due out in August. I hope everyone gives Man of Passion a read...you will be so glad you did.

Summary: Keep them coming!
Review: Lindsay you've done it again! Rafe is so wonderfully human yet strongand Ari is strong but doesn't realize it. They are beautiful characters who woderfully together. The first book I read by Lindsay McKenna was "Morgan's Rescue", which I found at the library. After I was done I couln't believe I hadn't discovered her books sooner. I went to every store that I knew carried books, looking for anything by Lindsay McKenna. I have to admit, her Morgan's Mercenaries series has me totally and completely hooked. The books just get better and better! I find the homeopathy practices fasinating,and the personalities of the characters realistic. I hope Lindsay keeps the series alive for a long time to come.

Review: Linsay, Is the most fantastic writer. I have read all she has had published so far. Rafe is the best. He just is the most exciting man. He's not sure he wants to help Ari, He soon discovers how different she really is and how much alike the two of them are. You can feel the desire Ari has to fulfill her dream of drawing the orchids and showing what she can do. Rafe has a friend Inca comes to help when he is called away. This book can not be put down til the very end and you want to read more and more of Morgan's Men. I can't wait for Inca's Story. Manof Pasion is a keeper.

Summary: Wonderful Work Again.
Review: The story centering around Rafe and Ari in his jungle was excellent. I was gratefull to see the maturing of Ari in a smooth story line. Many of the stories we read today just jump right into the characters as full blown individuals. We don't know who they really are. In this story, the characters fully developed within the storyline. It was a no stop reading marathon for me. I enjoyed it to its fullest.

Summary: Another Great Morgan's Mercenaries Story
Review: This is a beautiful love story of two very lonely people. Arianna Worthington is driven to complete her deceased mother's dream of drawing the many different orchids that grow in the Amazon jungle, then getting the drawings published in a book. But Ari is a shy, insecure young woman who must stand up to her powerful father in order to take that trip to the dangerous jungles of Brazil. She finds the strength to defy her father enough so that he enlists the aid of Morgan Trayhern, owner of Perseus, who can provide Ari with a bodyguard while she goes on what he considers a worthless trip. Trayhern has just the man Arianna needs - Rafe Antonio, a backwoodsman and ranger in the Amazon jungle who can get her in to find the orchids and keep her safe. Rafe is a highly educated man, who defied his own powerful and wealthy father when it came to what he wanted to do with his life. Instead of taking over the family's vast banking industry, he has chosen to live in the jungle and help protect the rain forest and natives from the greed of the drug lords, miners and loggers. Thus begins an exciting journey for both Rafe, who thought he would never find someone with the same capacity to love the jungle that he has, and Ari, who needs to learn to spread her wings and fly. I loved the story of Rafe and Arianna itself, but I also gained quite an education on the sheer greed and brutality of the drug lords against the natives of the jungle. The story really brings to light what is happening in the rain forest. This is the first of a series of three. but is also the continuing saga of Morgan Trayhern and his mercenaries. I highly recommend the book.
