Author: Amanda Harrington
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Length: 36K
Link to story: That Look

Author summary: Bodie and Doyle are on a flight to Amman to pick up a prisoner on extradition, being held by the Jordanian authorities. On the flight, they find themselves in a hijack situation and Doyle learns some new things about Bodie's past.

My review: This is a nice long story (in two chapters) which I really enjoyed.  It has two main elements - a tense mid-air hijack, and Doyle battling with his conflicted feelings for Bodie.  The first chapter deals with the build up to the action, both at the airport and on the aircraft, followed by the hijack; chapter two covers the aftermath and the resolution (in sumptuous, royal surroundings!) of Doyle's dilemma.  So yes, there's exposition, there's plot, there's high drama, a smidge of h/c, and both unresolved and resolved sexual tension!  Pretty much the whole package really :D

The "that look" of the title refers to something Doyle has observed about his partner: "It was a hunter's predatory look, one which he saw Bodie bestow upon women he wanted to bed."

( "that look" will be revisited more than once... )
