Riggs then wants to make Carter’s life as difficult as possible.Īfter hearing all about how Riggs is the best at what he does, the men get kidnapped. Riggs is not pleased about this and hates Carter on sight. Riggs gets taken off of his work detail because he has little professionalism and his only option is to go to South America to guard Carter. I found every character that appeared on page became more irritating than the next for me. Riggs also didn’t give me much to work with as he too felt unlikeable and we learn little about him. Carter was presented in a different manner here than he was in the prior book and, while I liked him there, I didn’t like him much here. We do meet Carter in that series as Tucker’s ex-boyfriend (from Fools), but the setting here then moves to South America and Riggs is new to the series. Hijacked is the first book in a spin off series to the authors’ Licking Thicket series.

It’s a good thing the men can find the lighter side of being held hostage and, if they can get back home, there might be a future for them together. Riggs knows better than to get involved with a client and he knows better than to break protocol, which is exactly how the men find themselves being kidnapped by the cartel and taken to face a drug lord. Riggs stays close to Carter in South America and the heat between them is fierce. Riggs can see that Carter is good looking, but Riggs immediately hates the posh doctor, well, just because he can.

He gets along well with his boss, but although Riggs claims to be professional, he gets himself into “situations.” Which is exactly how he lost the firm’s largest client and finds himself “babysitting” Carter in South America. Riggs is ex-military and working for a security firm. However, he didn’t count on his grandfather hiring him a bodyguard to follow his every move while out of the country. His grandfather wants him to stay and take over the family medical practice, but Carter has plans to go to South America. He’s used to being on the move, traveling to different countries to help with medical needs in remote areas.

Carter Rogers is the interim doctor in Licking Thicket.
