Anonymity
Romance Adventure in Belize for New Year's Eve
Welcome to the Scintillating Sunday Blog Hop where multiple romance and erotic romance authors share snippets of their work. What are your plans for New Year's Eve? Today we're looking inside the romance adventure novella, Anonymity, where the main characters are swept away with unexpected romance.
Excerpt...
"I'm on vacation and dancing with a
gorgeous blonde in the moonlight, of course I'm happy." He moved her into
a tight circle on the beach. The feel of his body against hers created havoc
with her nerves.
"This is crazy," she whispered, not
entirely sure if she was talking about her reaction to him, their date, or the
entire situation.
"Madness."
Give
in, a voice encouraged from
deep within her psyche.
She skimmed her fingers over his neck before
sliding them into his hair. Grinning because it felt good to abandon inhibitions,
she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
He slid his lips against hers, eyes wide open
and reflecting moonlight. His hands gripped her hips. Slowly, they savored the
taste of each other.
Tremors of desire began where their lips met
and rocked through her body to her toes until she felt certain she'd collapse. Shaken,
she locked her fingers behind his head and teased his lips with her tongue. He
opened his mouth and deepened the kiss. Intense. Hard. Perhaps it was the beach
or the aftereffects of Rosie's special concoction, but she'd never felt like
this from a kiss.
With a gasp, he lifted his face from hers and
stared into her eyes. His chest rose and fell against hers with each steadying
breath. Without letting go, he asked, "Why do I feel like I just dove off a cliff?"
From the back cover...
Alyssa McNeil is
through with romance. In Belize on a solo vacation designed to make her forget
that her ex is marrying someone else on New Year's Eve, she's determined to
break free of her comfort zone. Meeting Luke Picket falls perfectly into her
plans for indulging fantasy, letting go of inhibition, and having uncomplicated
fun under the sun. Falling in love with him is definitely not on the agenda.
Luke Picket is more than happy to go along with her idea of a no
strings, first-name only weeklong fling. He embraces his solo lifestyle and
can't see that changing any time soon. When they find themselves trekking
through the jungle and facing turbulent seas together, the feelings he'd fought
so hard to avoid in his life start stirring in his closed-off permanent
bachelor heart.
But they'd agreed on anonymity, on a
first-name-only-no-strings love affair, and neither wants to ruin the moment
with unwanted declarations. Old beliefs are challenged. Doubts questioned. Will
they stick to their deal and go their separate ways when the week is over? Or
will the new year bring them a new attitude about love?
**Anonymity is book
one of the Wanderlust Series, which is a series of romance adventure novels
written as stand-alone books. In future series, some characters may make cameo
appearances, but all are true stand-alones**

Passion Filled Vacation
By
Pamela (Toronto, ON) -
Amber Lea Easton ("Easton")
truly shines when it comes to giving her readers exactly what they want when it
comes to romance; a novel full of passion and hot hot sex; and characters (both
lead and supporting) who you'll fall in love with; all on a sandy beach with
crystal-clear blue water as far as the eye can see. The author wields a
terrific and engaging story, even thought-provoking at times, that's full of
fun and desire that leaves you not only wishing it was you on that beach, but
you who's being screwed hard against a palm tree by one very hot and sexy male
specimen like Luke.
This is the second novel of Easton's I've
read and it will most definitely not be my last. I was actually sad when the
story ended; that it wasn't longer than 186 pages as I couldn't get enough.
Thoughts of getting on a plane heading towards a tropical beach is all I can
think of - that, and a palm tree.

Excellent romance

"Anonymity" by Amber Lea Easton
is a great holiday romance, set in Belize between Christmas and New Year -
coincidentally the same time that I read the novel.
Reading the novel about a no-strings
attached one week fling between Alyssa and Luke was the perfect escapism, just
like a sweet dream. The two make a pact not to talk about their real lives:
What happens in Belize, stays in Belize. Or does it?
Sunshine, water, sex and jungle adventures
are part of this fun-filled and lovely story. Besides the great main characters
there are a few really well chosen others, such as the bar tender Rosie and
Savannah, who also has the hots for Luke.
Well written and easy on the proverbial
eye this is a very enjoyable and entertaining read that should please a wide
audience.

The perfect romance with more than I
thought possible
By
Molly
Thank you Amber Lea Easton for completely
capturing the essence of romance. You have, yet again, set the bar high. This
was the perfect book. The main characters were strong and well developed and I
felt like I was in Belize. The best surprise was the connection to the
secondary characters. I fell in love with Rosie and found myself rooting for
Savannah. What a great story about new beginnings and living the way we all
dream of.
