Girl suddenly inherits something that throws her into a world of danger. Boy comes along to help her keep it safe. They reluctantly fall in love in the midst of unrelenting danger, harrowing schemes, and near-certain death.
Everybody lives, boy and girl go separate ways. Boy and girl decide they're miserable, then find each other and swear to love, honor and cherish.
The only things that change are where and what the girl inherits.
This time, it's Erin, and she inherits a patch of land in Australia that holds a fortune in diamonds.
After almost dying in the desert, not to mention numerous fights, flights, and backstabbing, both Erin and Cole (our illustrious hero who knows the diamond trade in and out, but would trade all the diamonds in the world just for Erin) win. Of course, so does America, by keeping a gem cartel alive (someone explain that to me, because I'm confused).
Fast-paced writing, an intriguing story line, and the absolute attention to what the reader feels is what keeps these books good.
I know I've said (something to) this (affect) before, but even though I know what's going to happen and how close they're going to get to death, and even the fact that there's going to be a character twist and betrayal at the end, I really like Elizabeth Lowell's books.
(P.S.- Death is Forever, "A diamond is forever..." who said Elizabeth Lowell wasn't clever?
