"Rather than adding to the heroic accounts of flak-jacketed foreign correspondents in danger zones, Flirting with Danger is an altogether more candid account of what really preoccupies the war reporter on assignment.

"The bravest part of Flirting with Danger is not in fact the chilling accounts of front lines and shell-dodging for interviews. It's Darrow's willingness to admit that much of the time she had love on the brain." -Los Angeles Times
