She’s in Brazil on a secret mission for her father…
A quiet, conservative teacher who’s lived in one small Virginian town all her life, Marisa Elliott plunges into a desperate adventure when she meets Scott Dunbar a devilishly handsome pilot, who is apparently down on his luck. Marisa tells him she’s searching for her Confederate ancestors who fled to Brazil during the Civil War. She persuades him to take her far into the jungles of the Amazon, but she doesn’t tell him her relatives have offered to give back the bank money they absconded with so long ago—money her father wants her to bring home to clear the Elliott name.
He has an agenda all his own….
Once burned in a bad marriage, Scott Dunbar hates commitment of any kind. To him, love is a four-letter word. He wants Marisa, though he knows she’s not the kind of girl to settle for a one-night stand. Or is she? He’s hiding something, but then, so is she. He just can’t figure out what. Is she really here to find her missing relatives? Or is her mission something much more sinister?
Amazon Treasure is what I'd call romantic action/ adventure. I especially liked the way the author described Brazil. Her detailed descriptions and vivid scene settings made me feel like I’d been there. As I’ve always wanted to go to Brazil, but have never had the chance, this was a treat. If you’re in the mood for a sweet, intriguing romance, with plenty of action, but without all the sex and violence so common in novels today, Amazon Treasure is a good bet.

Paranya crafted her story with a killer plot, down-to-earth characters, and quite a few surprises. I’m a girl who likes my sex scenes hot and heavy, and those were sadly lacking, but Paranya more than made up for it with her vivid descriptions that plopped me right down in the jungles of the Amazon. The writing’s good, the story’s charming, and the plot’s got enough surprises to keep you happily turning pages.
