Reviews

[Roseanne Wilkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Amanda was the editor for Chris, who was a best-selling author. After their platonic time together, he proposed just as she was loading the plane to fly back to New York. Taken by surprise, she didn't agree to fly to Las Vegas instead, which she regretted the minute the plane took off. Chris immediately left for a trip to South America for six months and then would only work with her publisher if Amanda did the editing. This is a travelogue of Mexico with interesting historical tidbits. Suspense and intrigue keep the story moving, and a large black dog adds some humor. Nice wrap up at the end.
