Drowning

by Jassy Mackenzie

Passionate but stifled New Yorker Erin Mitchell thinks going to South Africa with her ill-tempered husband will be the perfect getaway to rekindle their romance. But when a flash flood washes away Erin’s vehicle and she finds herself stranded indefinitely at a luxury safari lodge, her trip takes an interesting turn. She awakens from a near-drowning to meet her rescuer, Nicholas DeLanoy. This handsome and brilliant billionaire prefers “no strings attached” relationships and makes no secret of his powerful attraction to Erin. In the heart of the South African bushveld, Erin faces the toughest choice of her life. Should she give in to Nicholas’s exquisite charms or remain faithful to her husband, despite his abuse? Meanwhile Nicholas faces impossible choices of his own as the lifelong playboy finds himself having feelings for Erin that go far beyond lust. Exotic, romantic, and emotional, Drowning is the captivating story of a woman stretched to the breaking point by the strength of her marital vows and the intensity of her desire for another man.

Reviews

[Graham · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not a typical Jassy novel. Must be one of her earlier attempts. Trite, boring, overuse of hackneyed descriptive details.
