Ready for some global adventure? Want to roam Europe and the
Middle East? How about the Amazon? Throw in mystery, suspense, romance, and
maybe a monster or two and voila! Edge of your seat thrills. Here are two books
that fit the bill:
Petra Steele is wallowing in
self-pity after being dumped at the altar, when her brother Nick invites her to
come to the Peruvian Amazon. Before she even sets her suitcase down, she's
confronted with a murder victim. In a research station peopled with a quirky
assortment of scientists, she is drawn to Emory Andrews, a gruff, big man with
a secret past. That is, until his beautiful ex-wife shows up. More murders,
more secrets, more mysteries ensue, all in the deeply romantic, sizzling
jungle.
Or
Lapses of Memory
Sydney Bellek first meets Elian Davies in the 1950s on a
Boeing 377 Stratocruiser when she is five and he is seven. They run into each
other every few years after that, but while he knows from the start that she is
his true love, she does not. Later, as rival journalists, they vie for scoops
on international crises from the Iranian revolution to the Lebanese civil war.
The handsome and intrepid Elian beats her out at every turn, even while keeping
his love for her secret.
Only after years of separation does she finally realize they
are meant to be together, but this time, in a twist of fate, it is Elian whose
memory of her is gone. Will he remember her before she loses heart or will
their new love be enough to replace the old one?
