This review is from: Catalina's Lover (Paperback)
32yo archaeologist reluctantly agrees to see Peruvian businessman Hero's father again after she left their family hacienda 14 years ago. She and Hero realize that they still share a powerful attraction but the same cultural differences prevent them from being together as before. Heroine eventually succumbs to an affair with Hero but knows that she can only be his mistress. She soon recognizes the futility of merely being his lover & sees the inevitability of him marrying another woman who's more socially suitable. How can their r/s survive their cultural differences?
This was a good Grant book. The pacing, emotional involvement, & pacing were good. The magnetic sexual chemistry & sex scenes matched their incendiary romance. Their socio-cultural differences were understandable barriers to their r/s & I liked how Grant flushed it out in the story. The 14-year gap b/w their initial romance & the current one emphasized Hero & heroine's character growth. Both of them (especially Hero) were steeped in the expectations of their family & social group & they weren't emotionally mature enough then to know what they wanted & take the risk of disappointing others in order to attain what is good for them. Their r/s barrier basically comes down to the choice b/w love & family expectations. I liked that heroine pursued her career goals & didn't drop everything just to be with Hero. I liked that Hero was willing to bend his typical Latino ways to support heroine's career. Recommended.
