Wow! I am awestruck! This book has got to be in my Top 10 for 2008! And yet, it's so far out of my usual reading comfort zone that it will seem strange on that list among the tamer Harlequin lines.

So how did I end up reading it when I normally ignore ‘Bombshell's? Because the author is Olivia Gates and she is my buddy. (Sounds neat saying that!) I've never read one of her books although I've ‘talked' to her on this site and the challenge for March was ‘New to You'. So it all fit. Also, when I first saw the book, I was curious about her ‘voice'. Eharl had a thread going last fall where they posted samples of a mystery author and we had something like 21 days to guess who it was. I didn't have a clue but I think someone guessed in about 3 days. Having now read this book, I can only say that if she writes all her books like this, I'll be able to pick her ‘voice' out of a pile, too. It's phenomenal!

Intense romance set in the Amazon of Brazil! Wow! Another can't put down stay up til 4am book!

Out in the medical field as remote as one can get --- the Amazon rainforest among indigent tribes ---- Jewel Johanssen runs smack into the one person she had hoped to escape --- her husband Rogue Aguiar Da Costa! Electric, explosive, sexual tension behind every look or move. But sometimes even earth-moving sex is just not enough. With their past and their differences, Jewel must get away from this man but sometimes true love just can't be denied.
