I'm a big fan of Sandra Brown's usual suspense-and-romance books, so I got this on a whim from the library. I was extremely disappointed in the book. Exceedingly predictable, poor writing, and full of romance-novel trope (ridiculous arguments to "further" the plot, will-she-won't-she, etc).
Quick read, but very glad I borrowed this book rather than purchased it.

I’ve read a single Sandra Brown book and found it to be an okay read, and I was curious about more of the author’s work. When I requested a Sandra Brown book from the library, I’d been hoping for another romantic suspense… yet, they gave me a contemporary romance that doesn’t really have the romantic suspense elements I’d been hoping for.
Although this wasn’t what I had hoped for, I was curious about it and happily gave it a read. My feels towards this one ended up being mixed. A part of me wanted to give this a three-star rating, but, in the end, I had to round it down to a two-star rating. The Devil’s Own had the potential to be interesting, but it failed to live up to what I had expected. Things never went as far as they could have, and I kept hoping for more. I was happy to read it in a single sitting, but there were a lot of things that made me feel uncomfortable – mainly, the male lead had plenty of moments where he was not a romantic lead with his behaviour.
All in all, this one had potential, but it failed to hit the right spots for me.

Kerry had to find someone to help her get nine orphans through the jungle with a war going on. She found someone but He wasn't who she expected. Seemed a quick read as you followed along with the characters with all the problems they run into. Hard to put down as kept you involved in the story.
