Summary: ACTUALLY A 4 PLUS --
Review: Just how mad would you get if on patroling the national park you fell into a rigged trap?
Ranger Jason Hollenbeck was ready to have it out with the parents of the Ruark hooligans.
Oh boy, did he have to backpedal when instead of grabbing one of the boys by the neck he collared their "sister"?
It didn't take long for Jason to swing into "hero mode" as the natural dam broke and he had to start rescueing the Ruarks.

He started out with Jennifer in pulling her out of the flood waters. Then it seemed that her oldest son, Will was bent on rescueing one of Granddad's dogs. Splat!!! he landed in the mud under a tree.

Jennifer's sister, Goldie arrived in the middle of the downpour on the run from her boyfriend, Rat, "movie actor gorgeous".

Jason's ranger pal, Terrel helped to rescue the family and of course loaded Goldie into his vehicle.

There is such hilarious exchanges with Granddad [he shuts off his hearing aid].

As everyone is crowded into Jason's rangers cabin he knows he will have to put up with the noise of a large family until the flood waters receed. He took this job because of its solitude.

Suddenly he is bonding with two of the boys and finding that he likes it. But he likes Jennifer even better.

One thing leads to another as Jennifer's cabin and then her house in Sante Fe is broken into. What the devil has Rat gotten them into??

More rescues occur to everyone's satisfaction and a night in Santa Fe with the required results. Hormones and PMS.

Still delicately done with enough action and fast pace to keep it a better than average. And enough to bring a smile to the reader.
