More than just a love story!
Synopsis
All Logan has to do is to get the gold and get the girl. Easy, right?
Travel photographer Winter Knowles and archeologyprofessor Logan Spencer dislike each other at first sight. Stuck together on a wild island, these two unwilling teammates will bicker and banter their way through a laugh-packed treasure hunt.
After years of searching, a new mapping technology has given Logan a clue to the location of the legendary Lost City of Gold. A discovery that could make his career. So the last thing he needs on this life-changing expedition is for his team to get distracted by a pair of long legs.
When Winter accepted the assignment on a tropical island she didn’t sign up for a brooding team leader who’d clearly prefer to run a boys-only club. Never one to back down from a challenge, Winter is ready to show him she’s no damsel in distress.
But when a treasure like no other is uncovered and ruthless enemies will want to keep it for themselves, it’ll be up to the two of them to save the day. Left alone to fight in the jungle, they will soon discover their lives might not be the only thing at stake—their hearts could be too.
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
A fun read packed with danger, action, romance, and comedy.
From Thailand with Love is part of a series of interconnected romantic comedies but can be read as a standalone novel as all the other books in the First Comes Love series.
My review
Winter Knowles accepts a new job and goes on an expedition with archeologist Logan Spencer. She is a travel photographer and is hired to document everything during the journey.
But the moment they meet, there is this instant dislike towards each other. They have disagreements over just everything!
Despite what Spencer thinks, Winter can stand her ground and she’s not one to mess around with. She knows her way in the world.
And Spencer is not this macho – man what Winter initially thought.
You may think this story is a typical “opposites attract” story. But don’t be fooled!
There are moments the story is more an Indiana Jones movie, combined with MacGyver and Rambo! You feel that there is something going to happen during the expedition, but I never thought there would be so much action.
The things Spencer and Winter have to endure got me frightened and also their companions were not much better off…
Spending a lot of time together in the wild, means that you have no other choice but putting your differences aside. Winter and Spencer get to know each other better, and soon realize their first impressions were wrong.
The both of them are also having personal issues, things they need to process that happened before the expedition took place. And the expedition is a perfect place to think about what bothers them and realize that some things are not worth carrying around.
I loved the initial dislike of Winter and Spencer and also how their feelings are changing. And Winter is a kick – ass woman! It’s so nice to read about her and how she’s not afraid to take charge of things and not just being a damsel in distress.
Spencer is a closed character, not one that easily opens up with strangers. But when the attraction is too big to ignore, he doesn’t just give in on a physical level, but trust Winter with his thoughts.
I was surprised by this book, because it had so much more than expected. I laughed several times at loud, nearly swooned over the sweeter moments, was catching my breath when the situation seemed to get out of control.
I loved it from start till end!
