Jungle
In this riveting adventure-romance that will appeal to Twilight fans, as well as to all readers, we meet Nina, a young college student who dreams of following in the footsteps of her uncle, a renowned anthropologist. She is beyond excited when her uncle tells her of an amazing opportunity to explore an uncharted island in the Indian Ocean. She never imagines she will meet a literal Tarzan, the son of English explorers who died there when he was an infant, leaving him to be raised by the local tribe. This mesmerizing culture brings us enchanting customs, glistening headdresses that unwrap into deady whips, spine chilling danger, and a thrilling romance.
When Nina accidentally ventures into the deepest part of jungle, a bronzed hero magically leaps from the treetops to rescue her from a wild animal attack. And when she stares into his brilliant green eyes, she knows without a doubt that this is no ordinary tribesman. She is smitten at first touch. Breathless.
Perils lurk everywhere in the shape of poisonous plants, strange species of animals that prowl the night, and even murderous cannibals from a nearby atoll. Storms, fires, and incessant insect attacks are just part of living life on the edge, and the natives take it in stride. Nina comes to accept their ways and loves the island with the same fervor as she loves her man. When the expedition nears its close, Nina must choose: Should she return home to become an anthropologist, or stay in the jungle with the man she loves?

Well written happiness that I read in a day
I love the softly rising romance that took me down a bend in the rainforest that is life for this girl. The detail work for this book is amazing. I love it when authors do their homework and teach me something new about the world around me. 'Flower clock y'all' new up and coming sensation. You truly brought the jungle to life and I respect you for it. May you continue to write books because I will read them.

A Lively Adventure
I enjoyed this well-paced adventure of a famous anthropologist and his niece reminiscent of Tarzan. This cast of characters undertake a risky venture into the unexplored. They find not only what they had hoped for, but much more including exotic beauty, danger and romance.
