Roses in Ecuador by Heather Huffman
It’s Nothing Personal by Kate O’Reilley
Absolutely loved this one. Heather scores again. I will say the message was there and received. Jane Russell moves to Ecuador to write about Jaguars. She is interested in the preservation and breeding of these animals. Already there in Ecuador is Devon McAllister, who is hot, rich and the son a well to do American. He is unlike his greedy father, he starts his business opening a fair trade rose plantation in the fertile soils of Ecuador.
Not giving away anything but the jaguars get some attention from a bad ass and then these two highly focused people become involved in a ring on deceit. Both are scared and need to learn to trust again.
This book was a very different setting. What I LOVE about Heather (I have an author crush on her) is that she brings to light issues that we are not aware of. A lot of us buy roses but do we know that Ecuador has some of the best? No, like I had no idea there were preserves for jaguars there. Very enlightening and a pleasure to read.
The good news is she has written several other books so new readers can get their fill.

The authors feel compelled to shed light on and perhaps help correct these injustices, he says, thereby improving the world. I certainly relate to that motivation, and in my own meager way, that’s one of the…
