Book Description

Publication Date: October 25, 2011

Paradise calls to Chase Wilcox. A man of science, escaping the destruction of his own personal world, he is drawn to the lush beauty of the island of Hawaii and the secrets it holds. Here he intends to immerse himself in his work . . . and somehow heal and forget.

A research assistant, an artist, and a dancer, Nicole Ballard also hides a secret pain. Together on an important scientific project in the moist, verdant heart of a tropical wonderland, both she and Chase will be forced to confront their own lingering inner darkness. But in the shadows of Mount Kilauea, a passion that burns like fire will erupt, as unpredictable and dangerous as the living volcano, transforming the very landscape of their lives.

A classic story of desire, hope, and dangerous destiny from the incomparable New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell

2.0 out of 5 stars Drop "Eden Burning" Into the Nearest Volcano, January 23, 2002

By 

Mason Dixon (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eden Burning: A Classic Love Story (Hardcover)

That's where this book belongs. As a long-time fan of Elizabeth Lowell, I eagerly await her new releases. I wish I had skipped this one; "Eden Burning" was a big disappointment. Chase Wilcox, professional vulcanologist, and Nicole Ballard, artist and dancer, meet on the island of Hawaii. Each has a tragic "secret" from the past that must be overcome before they can acknowledge their love. There is a great deal of drumming (Chase) and dancing to Tahitian music (Nicole aka Pele, goddess of fire) that is just too silly for words. The best parts are the descriptions of the island, the little bit that you get about its native population, and the fascinating material included on volcanoes. Ms. Lowell does her research. Save your money for the next book about the Donovan clan, or go back and buy one of Ms. Lowell's older works written as Ann Maxwell, such as "Tell Me No Lies."

This review is from: Eden Burning: A Classic Love Story (Hardcover)

Be warned, this is a reprint of Lowell's Fires of Eden novel. The story is a good one, but don't buy it thinking it's a new one. I only gave 3 stars because it is a reprint, not as a reflection of the story quality.

1.0 out of 5 stars That makes two in a row, January 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Eden Burning: A Classic Love Story (Hardcover)

Fool me once, shame on you..fool me twice, shame on me. This is the second EL book in a row that has been a huge disappointment. I know that it is a reprint of an earlier work, but I had not previously read it. After her last book, Moving Target, which was awful, I was cautious to pay the hardcover price. I decided that since EL has always been my favorite author I would try again. BIG MISTAKE. While this effort is better than Moving Target, it doesn't come anywhere close to the past writings of EL. I'm beginning to wonder if EL, or her publishers, ever bother to read the reviews written by the people who spend their money to buy her books. There was a wonderful cadence and rhythm
that was always present in her writing. EL created characters that we could care about, wove a wonderful story and let us escape for a while into a romance that was powerful. That, apparently, is her past style of writing. If you read the back inside cover she indicates that she no longer writes the kind of novels that we have come to love, which is terribly disappointing. It's time to start searching for a new author...one who writes like Elizabeth Lowell used to.
