June 27, 2022I felt like I was lost in the jungle. I didn’t know whether to go up or down or forward and back in the book to make it make some sense.

‘It was a painful business - to love and not to be loved – to spend your life chasing butterflies’.
That’s what this h does. Chases butterflies. And falls in and out of love. And the H smokes all the time.
A cute story about a girl chasing romantic love across the continent to Papua Guinea. Her beau seems completely different from the man she’s fallen for in Sydney. Maybe she’s read too much into the situation? And the local coffee planter makes the matter worse with his sarcastic comments about pampered city girls.
‘She should try to emulate Glenda and fall in love sensibly- with someone who would feel the same way about her. So far, she had failed lamentably. First William Cunningham, then Alec, and now Pierce Adams! Yes, Glenda’s was the wise way. But she would never be able to follow it - never. Her heart was too wayward for that. It was a bleak thought.’
The most memorable part? The H offers the h a love potion to drink

A really interesting setting - a coffee plantation in Papa New Guinea in 1972 - I liked this the most! She's an English girl (20) who has followed a man she met in Australia for a brief romance and ends up staying with a couple on the hero's coffee plantation. He's bitter about women not being able to stay on the island (ex-fiancée left a week before their wedding), but very attractive to women. He tries to dislike the heroine as he thinks she won't be able to cope as she's like a delicate butterfly, but there are numerous encounters that show she has more substance than that. The romance with the OM falters immediately as he's attracted to the supposed OW who comes to stay on the plantation too. It's very different which earns it a high review, and no real current OW, and the heroine is cute and a little silly, but likeable. Considering it is a Dorothy Cork hero, he's not too arrogant as well!
I have the 1973 Harlequin cover and it's very pretty and 'groovy'.
