About the book:
"When a British heiress discovers her fiancée is not the man he
pretended to be she'll discover her sheltered upbringing has left her woefully
unprepared to face a new life in Venezuela. The line between what is right and
what you desire blurs in this exciting historical novel by Pauline Saull. When
charming Carlton Blake convinces Elizabeth Hall to marry him, she is carried
away with the idea of a life in 1880s Venezuela. But, when she travels to her
new home for the wedding, she discovers her fiancée is only interested in her
inheritance and his exotic mistress, Rosita, a beautiful Carib girl. Desperate,
Elizabeth accepts shelter from British expatriate and rancher, Theo Furey. Will
the embers her protector ignites within her become a flame Elizabeth cannot
deny?
Content Notes: Historical, 1800's, Adventure, Sexy Spicy Romance"
What a brave woman Elizabeth is. I’d like to think I would have the
courage she does if faced with the same situation. I loved how adventuresome
this heroine was and how bravely she faces the obstacles that she encounters. She
had a very enlightened attitude and the way she embraced her new life was
refreshing. I was drawn into the story by the wonderful descriptions of this
beautiful unspoiled setting and the charming characters. I could practically
feel the lush humidity, see the exotic wildlife and touch the surrounding
vegetation. Theo was so stoically heroic and Carlton so very smarmy and her new
female friends were so accommodating and encouraging. I found this to be a
delightful way to pass a Sunday afternoon and I look forward to reading more
from this author.
