1. Samantha Steele is a TV reporter suffering panic attacks and freezing up whenever she has to go live on TV. When a friend, whose adventure vacation she is covering as an easy assignment, dies, she has to put her emotions aside and try to report his death live on the news. How do you feel about that emotional and professional conflict? What would you have done?
2. At first, Samantha sees Zack Hunter as a cocky, thrill-seeking playboy, exactly the kind of man she promised herself she’d stay away from. What changes her mind about Zack?
3. Both main characters are running from themselves and their own personal issues. Samantha is trying to survive by holding on tight and controlling everything around her. Zack is trying to expel his guilt by chasing death and doing high-risk, life endangering adventures. Which are you more like? The control freak or the reckless adventurer? And why?
4. The theme of this book is “you have to face your fears to move on and grow both in life and in love.” Share one example of how you had to do that in your life.
5. Do you read for the happy ending of a romance novel, whether it’s romantic suspense like Alive at 5 or a young adult novel or a novel with paranormal elements like Twilight? Why or why not?
