I don't know what else to say about Aleka Nakis except that she is AWESOME! Not only was I lucky enough to get to read and review The Greek Rule, but after reading Eyes of the Dead, she is definitely on my list of authors to keep an eye on. Her books are filled with such beautiful imagery, you have no problem imagining the exotic locations she uses as her settings.

Tiffany Jensen is determined to continue the research her late professor started before he was murdered. Not just to honor her mentor, but because the research holds possibilities that could help eradicate breast cancer, the disease that killed her mother. Unfortunately, the key to this research is a plant only found in a certain part of the jungle- in South America. The unfortunate part is that after the professor's murder, she has been denied permission to collect the plant specimens that never made it to the United States. So Tiffany is taking a "vacation" and posing as a tourist interested in exploring the Mayan Jungle. She doesn't even know if she will be able to find the plants, or even smuggle them back into her country- but she can't give up on the cure when she is so close.

Agent Antonio Francisco Fernandez knows all about Tiffany Jensen and what she has come to South America in search of. In fact, it's his job to get her to return home before she even sets foot in the jungle. But he soon finds that she will do anything to get what she came for, including putting herself into a danger she can't even conceive of. It's up to him to either to get her to go home now, or get her in and out of the jungle- preferably alive.

Eyes of the Dead is a suspense-filled romance with a touch of the supernatural, perfect to satisfy all your romantic cravings. Aleka Nakis will stun you with her unbelievable talent of pulling you into the story and painting the setting with perfect detail. In Eyes of the Dead, venture into the jungle with exotic plant-life, mysterious and deadly creatures, and beautiful landmarks you can picture with ease. The characters are extremely well-developed, and pack a big punch in a small number of pages. Tiffany is a sweet, determined woman who will sacrifice everything, even her life, in order to help cure a terrible disease. Antonio is a gorgeous, strong hero, and from the very beginning, you will be cheering for a happily ever after between he and Tiffany. Eyes of the Dead is a romantic adventure that will have you wanting more of Aleka Nakis!

Aleka Nakis did it again! The novel "Eyes of the Dead" is a breathtakingly dramatic, suspenseful, exciting, funny, sexy, steamy, romantic escape. By the way, did I say STEAMY? The relationship of Tiffany and Antonio is a passionate rollercoaster ride that they try to deny for their own reasons while they have to deal with terrors surrounding them. Both their work entails in helping the world while trying to find eachother in the midst of the craziness of their universe. That's all I am saying. You gotta pick it up to find out more!

Like Romancing the Stone in the Mayan jungle, EYES OF THE DEAD finds botanist Tiffany Jensen searching for a rare plant more valuable than an emerald. When she's abduced by white slavers, her sexy tour guide rushes to the rescue. She doesn't count on his threat to her heart posing greater danger than the terrors of the rainforest.

Government agent Antonio Fernandez curses the female who's disrupted his operation to catch a drug kingpin. Can he curb his lust enough to get her safely away?

Set in the tropics, this fast-paced story will carry you off to a romantic adventure you won't want to miss

This story captivated me from page one. Tiffany's quest to find the cure for Breast Cancer makes this book especially meaningful, not only for those who have suffered with the disease, but for women everywhere.

Can't wait to receive Aleka's next book - The Greek Rule. This author is going places.

I actually bought the e-version of this book. I'm not one for writing reviews usually, but I thought I would give it a try.

I'll start with saying this... I loved the book. It was fun, exciting, and easy to read. I read it all in one sitting.

The story is about a botanist named Tiffany who is a breast cancer researcher. After her mentor (a professor) dies trying to retrieve a plant he thinks is the cure for cancer, Tiffany (with the professor's notes) takes off into the dangerous Mayan jungle in search of the plant.

Antonio (the hero in the story) is a secret agent working undercover as a jungle tour guide. Antonio is trying to break up a drug cartel/human trafficking ring that's going on in local area. Tiffany's presence makes his job that much harder because Tiffany is not only a distration to him, but she's also a prime target for the drug cartel.

I won't say anymore, but imagine the possibilities. After you've done that, add in that the story happens during Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

It's a good book with some cool twists. I've actually never read a book quite like this one, which is another reason why Eyes of the Dead gets my recommendation.

This was an action-packed, intense read. Tiffany is a woman on a quest to find the cure for breast cancer in memory of her mother! Who wouldn't love her? She gives Antonio a run for his money, and tries his patience at times, but this pair had so much heat it was hard to put the book down. The added supernatural twist was a plus to the already hot story. Recommended read.

This is a supernatural romantic thriller, filled with action, jungle excursions, jaguars, drug lords, kidnappings, shootouts and even ghosts. It has a pulse pounding storyline that makes it easy to devour the entire book in one sitting. Aleka creates very vivid imagery. One almost feels like they are actually trekking through the exotic locals she describes in the book.

Eyes of the Dead will suck you into an adventure so intense, you nearly forget that it is actually a romance novel. Well, at least until you get to the romantic scenes. Aleka can produce gripping suspense, but have no doubt her love scenes will have your temperature rising.

I highly recommend you pick up a copy of this book.

Length:: 1:06 Mins

I'm posting this trailer to give you a hint of Antonio's and Tiffany's story.
Enjoy,
