Celebrated
photographer, Sheridan West, arrives on the island of St. Lucia to shoot the
wedding of billionaire tycoon, Simon Des Marets, to stunning socialite, Cecily
Towne. Weddings aren't usually her thing, especially celebrity weddings, but a
disturbing series of mountain lion attacks in the hills near her LA home, a
secret fear she may be involved, and the persuasion of the groom's charming
brother, Marc, make a trip to the island of her dreams more than she can pass
up.
In
the days leading up to the big event, Sheridan finds herself irresistibly
attracted to the brooding Simon, too. Sheridan succumbs to the charms of the
oh-so-sexy Marc, her desperate worry forgotten in the isolated paradise, even
as the relationship between Simon and the duplicitous Cecily unravels.
A
full, tropical moon. The gentle wash of the dark, Caribbean surf. Two beautiful
men—one determined to possess her completely, the other equally determined to
remain aloof. The three face a common destiny predetermined by the past. That
destiny's resolution must save them all from specters of a bygone era and a
bloody predator tracking Sheridan.
Tropic of Desire is a short but
very interesting read. There is mystery, seduction, and a sensual-ness that leaves
you wanting to read more. This is a great story with a mix of past, present and
future that makes you want to finish the book in one sitting. Plus with two men,
how can you go wrong?
At first you are left wondering
what’s going on, but as the book progresses you start to want to know more. Especially
about Simon. His brooding makes you want to draw him out of his shell. He knows
how to make “tall, dark, and handsome” really seem sexy.
The mystery Sheridan faces is not
only about her past but also Simon and Marc’s. The biggest mystery is whether
they will be able to stop themselves from repeating the past or whether they
are doomed to repeat it again. Simon and Marc know about their own history but are they willing to let Sheridan
in and let her know to?
In the end, this was a really good
book however it seemed far too short. I will probably go back and reread this
book. There is the possibility that I will change my mind, but for now I am
giving this book 2.5 stars.
