Jungle Buck (SWAK/ Special Forces: Operation Alpha / The Adventures of Buck and Mindy #3) by Margaret Madigan

 

Two months after her second-run with the Russian Mafia, Dr. Melinda Emerson finally admits she's struggling with PTSD. Her relationships are suffering - especially with her boyfriend Buck McCormick, who's recently moved into her house. She's just decided to get help when she gets a lead on a village in the Amazon where nobody's ever had dementia. Ever. After the disastrous experiment that led to the catastrophe in Siberia, Melinda's determined to refocus her work on a cure for Alzheimer's, so she puts together an expedition to the jungle. Jungle Buck by Margaret Madigan was published in November 2017. This is the third book in The Adventures of Buck and Mindy series. 

I absolutely love Buck and Mindy books. They show the true relationship of the characters lives. They don't just glorify a relationship because Buck and Mindy don't have an easy relationship through each book they struggle then come out on top. The characters are well rounded and both have their own faults as well as their own thoughts through out the book. The book had a great flow in it that had few spots where you feel like it dragged on. The smut in this book is very little amount but it's a great romance book that builds up on the last two books in the series. I highly recommend checking out this book.

He grew up on a thoroughbred farm in Kentucky, but he joined the Navy to escape the pain of watching his mom die a long, slow death of cancer.

A pharmaceutical chemist with social anxiety, she'll happily climb through the jungle canopy in search of medicinal plants, but put her in the middle of a party and she passes out. As the only child of older parents, she struggled watching her father fall victim to Alzheimer's, and is determined to find a cure. Instead, she discovers a cognitive enhancer that has everyone from the CIA to the Russian mafia after her and her new invention. Bang for the Buck by Margaret Madigan was published in July 2022. This is the first book in The Adventures of Buck and Mindy and the first book in SWAK series. 

This is one of those book series that matches up with Susan Stoker books. The characters in this book are so amazing. I was laughing in the first chapter from then on there was so many funny scenes through out the book. I love the relationship between Buck and Melinda. It makes me want to read more about them. I also loved how their relationship has ups and downs through out the book. Also how their relationship evolved throughout the book. I highly recommend checking out this well written story. I can't wait to read book two in the series.
