Hmmm. I didn't say anything about it, did I, when I
uploaded it--not expecting it to get into the
collection so soon and not knowing if there was much
interest in it.
Actually, Gerald, it's neither--or both. I did find
it more interesting and enjoyable than I expected at
first. It's more suspense and adventure with a little
sex and romance thrown in, and ends romantically
happily ultimately -- I suspected the shadowy
mastermind causing all the trouble to be almost
everyone but who it was, and one question wasn't
really answered.
For those who might be interested, here's the synopsis
from the back cover:
"Twenty years after her father?s plane crashed in the
jungles of Southeast Asia, Willy Jane Maitland was
finally tracking his last moves. She recognized the
dangers, but her search for the truth about that
fateful flight was the only thing that mattered.
Rough, irreverent ex-army officer Guy Barnard knew
the jungles and the workings of the mystical Asian
country?and Willy knew she couldn?t proceed without
him. But in a place where truth had many faces, she
suspected even Guy had hidden motives. What she wasn?t
prepared for were the shocking secrets and undeniable
attractions."
