We are back in Romcom land today with another of Camilla Isley's novels, From Thailand With Love.
Described by the publisher, Pink Bloom Press as 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 can all
the other books in the First Comes Love series, of which this is the fifth.
All Logan has to do is to get the gold and get the girl.
Easy, right?
Travel photographer Winter Knowles and archeology professor
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.
My Thoughts
One of the delights of this book is that although you think you might be presented with a stereotypical character, she or he turns out to be quite the opposite. This is a sort of hidden joke in the book and one the reader shares with the author. I loved the character of Winter as created and how what you saw was definitely not what you got.
My feeling on reading this story is that it is overwhelmingly an adventure story as opposed to a romance. There may be elements of romance there, but as the story continues, the action increases and the adventure element becomes more important.
This is a great read which has lighthearted moments as any good romcom should have.
About the Author
Camilla is an engineer turned writer after she quit her job
to follow her husband on an adventure abroad.
She’s a cat lover, coffee addict, and shoe hoarder. Besides
writing, she loves reading—duh!—cooking, watching bad TV, and going to the
movies—popcorn, please. She’s a bit of a foodie, nothing too serious. A keen
traveler, Camilla knows mosquitoes play a role in the ecosystem, and she
doesn’t want to starve all those frog princes out there, but she could really
live without them.
