I had high hopes for this book, but it didn’t pan out quite the way I expected. Let’s just say I did no like the man she ends up with on the final page. I think it was the wrong choice, and that spoiled the book for me.
Julie Fraser is in a less than perfect marriage. She doesn’t have much guts, and her husband is jetting around the world on business. She decides to surprise him in Costa Rica – and she gets a surprise, finding him in the midst of sex with a beautiful woman. Without thinking, she snatches a jade relic – and ends up on the run herself.
It has been compared to Romancing the Stone
I did like that she became more gutsy and feisty along the way.

Karin likes solidly written romances that are heavy on the romantic suspense. She loves it when the good guy triumphs over the bad guy. She's not a fan of historical period romances in general, a duke in tight breeches makes her grimace. That said, she will read one every now and then to shake things up so long as she can immediately return to the land of contemporary crime solving heroes and heroines.
