Linda Howard does it very well---combines an exciting adventure story with a sexy romance.
There's a mysterious lost city---maybe . . . Our heroine has to go and find out for sure. There's also a fantastic red diamond---maybe. Same thing. Our heroine has to locate it. But the thing is, the old map says the lost city and the gem are in the heart of the Amazon jungle, and she has to mount an entire expedition to get there.
And the people she can afford to hire to trek through the jungle aren't what anybody would call trustworthy. There's a handsome but dangerous-looking guide, a number of Indian and mestizo porters, and a brutish looking Portuguese. Also along the trek is the financial backer, whom she learns (after he's hired) happens to be a drug dealer on the run from both the police and his suppliers. And let's not forget her ne'er do well brother who has hated her since the day she was born.
Doesn't this sound like an enjoyable trip?
