aka Anne Weale, Andrea Blake
Jay Blakeney was born on Juny 20, 1929. Her great-grandfather was a well-known writer on moral theology, so perhaps she inherited her writing gene from him. She was "talking stories" to herself long before she could read. When she was still at school, she sold her first short stories to a woman's magazine and she feels she was destined to write. Decided to became a writer, she started writing for newspapers and magazines.
At 21, Jay was a newspaper reporter with a career plan, but the man she was wildly in love with announced that he was off to the other side of the world. He thought they should either marry or say goodbye. She always believed that true love could last a lifetime, and she felt that wonderful men were much harder to find than good jobs, so she put her career on hold. What a wise decision it was! She felt that new young women seem less inclined to risk everything for love than her generation.
Together they traveled the world. If she hadn't spent part of her bridal year living on the edge of a jungle in Malaysia, she might never have become a romance writer. That isolated house, and the perils of the state of emergency that existed in the country at that time, gave her a background and plot ideally suited to a genre she had never read until she came across some romances in the library of a country club they sometimes visited. She can write about love with the even stronger conviction that comes from experience.
When they returned to Europe, Jay resumed her career as a journalist, writing her first romance in her spare time. She sold her first novel as Anne Weale to Mills and Boon in 1955 at the age of 24. At 30, with seven books published, she "retired" to have a baby and become a full-time writer. She raised a delightful son, David, who is as adventurous as his father. Her husband and son have even climbed in the Andes and the Himalayas, giving her lots of ideas for stories. When she retired from reporting, her fiction income -- a combination of amounts earned as a Mills & Boon author and writing for magazines such as Woman's Illustrated, which serialized the work of authors -- exceed 1,000 pounds a year.
She was a founding member of the The Romantic Novelists' Association. In 2002 she published her last novel, in total, she wrote 88 novels. She also wrote under the pseudonym Andrea Blake. She loved setting her novels in exotic parts of the world, but specially in The Caribbean and in her beloved Spain. Since 1989, Jay spent most of the winter months in a very small "pueblo" in the backwoods of Spain. During years, she visited some villages, and from each she have borrowed some feature - a fountain, a street, a plaza, a picturesque old house - to create some places like Valdecarrasca, that is wholly imaginary and yet typical of the part of rural Spain she knew best. She loved walking, reading, sketching, sewing (curtains and slipcovers) and doing needlepoint, gardening, entertaining friends, visiting art galleries and museums, writing letters, surfing the Net, traveling in search of exciting locations for future books, eating delicious food and drinking good wine, cataloguing her books.
She wrote a regular website review column for The Bookseller from 1998 to 2004, before starting her own blog Bookworm on the Net. At the time of her death, on October 24, 2007, she was working on her autobiography "88 Heroes... 1 Mr. Right".

The hero and heroine meet during an expedition into the Malayan jungle to find and film mythical caves that are supposed to contain prehistoric paintings. The funniest scene in the book is when hero, who is a doctor, is giving heroine a physical examination and the heroine is daydreaming that he is using it as an excuse to touch her. Then the hero abruptly asks her if she is suffering from constipation. Who says romance is dead? ROFL.
The hero was so cold, aloof, chauvinistic, and cruel that this story didn't do much for me. Even during his ILY speech, he firmly warns the heroine that she will ALWAYS come second to his career, being that of a doctor and medical researcher who spends his life trotting in obscure corners of the globe. The hero doesn't really love or respect the heroine, imho, he merely lusts after her hot bod. This is definitely a case where the heroine loves him more and we have to be happy that she is happy.

A mediocre romance spun around an interesting jungle trek adventure premise.
The crew of a wild life TV show sets out in the Malayan jungle, ably assisted or rather led by the hero , Dr James Ferguson. He is a doctor specialising in tropical medicine.
Andrea , our girl is part of the crew. James initially mistakes her to be just a decorative part of the crew, but then realises that the girl is made of sterner stuff.
She is falling for the brooding and brilliant Dr James right from the start. And is quite openly submissive in her opinions. 'I go where he goes type' of unconditional love.
There is Andrea's brother and a happy go lucky chap, the OM also as part of the jungle crew. The OM helps with the jealousy trope of course. There is also a Malayan local female OW, just to fill pages.
Our girl is back in England after the adventure shoot, somewhat heartbroken. Our Dr James comes close behind her heels and professes undying love. And also gets her to pack her bags once again. Why? They are getting married and leaving to Brazil for the next adventure, pronto !!!
Alls well, the girl loves the idea of tip toeing behind her man, where ever he wants to go. So that's a kind of HEA too, I suppose.
One obvious silly flaw in the story. All the maddening adventures in the Malayan jungle were for the purpose of shooting some wild life film on forgotten caves deep in the jungle. But the actual objective gets a total brush over. The author just focusses on the to & fro journeys and happily forgets the actual objective of the jungle adventure ;))
Well, the real objective is only the HEA, the adventure is only incidental, I get it, its all good !!

June 15, 2021Andrea was used to roaming all over the world with her brother, and the prospect of a three-week trip into the Malayan jungle with him held no terrors for her. But James Ferguson the doctor who was to act as guide to the expedition was adamant that he would not have her along. This was a decision that Andrea had no intention of taking lying down, and she managed to follow the party and join then after all. But in the primitive conditions of jungle life she was to see Doctor Ferguson in quite a different light

This book was originally published in 1964, and I read it in the late 70s as a young teenager under the title "Doctor in Malaya." I remember being very taken with it. The h is a member of a British nature documentary team who travels to Malaya (now Malaysia) to film caves hidden in the jungle. The leader of the group who will guide them to the caves is for some reason a British tropical medicine doctor and researcher. He doesn't want the h to go on the expedition because she's a woman and in his opinion won't be able to handle it. She proves him wrong.
The ending seemed very romantic to me as a young kid. She goes home to London aching from unrequited love and he follows her to propose marriage and that she will accompany him to all those third world hotspots where she will get to prove over and over just how much she loves him. I read it again for the first time as an adult not long ago and what a difference 40-odd years makes. To my aged sensibilities, the H doesn't really seem to love the h. But she proved herself in the jungle so maybe he thinks she can handle spending her life trekking her nubile self around the globe? A man has needs, right? The OW that he is clearly better matched with probably can't handle the stresses she will be faced with in such a life. (Barf, I say. Barf on all levels.). 4 stars for my adolescent self's take on this, 2 stars for my adult reaction, average to 3 stars because this book is a product of its time.
