Review: Island Heat - Jill Myles

PhotobucketGenre: Paranormal romance
Pages: Ebook novella, 140
Published: 2011

On a business trip to Bermuda, realtor Diana Holcomb's small plane goes down over the ocean, a victim of the infamous Bermuda Triangle.

Diana wakes up to find herself on a deserted island...that really isn't all that deserted. First, a gigantic dinosaur tries to eat her. Then she's captured by cavemen, and just when things are looking their worst, she's rescued by none other than a gorgeous man with the body of an Adonis and the jungle skills of Tarzan. Salvador's been stranded on the island for a very, very long time without a woman. A very, very long time. And now that he has Diana, he intends to claim her for his own... 


My thoughts:
This is one crazy book but what could you expect from the Bermuda Triangle. Diana is taking her groping client to Bermuda to find him a house, well that was the plan. The only thing she wants to do is earn money by selling a big house to him. She is smart, single and soon to be stranded on a desert island...almost deserted that is.

Oh yes this island has a T-Rex with a taste for human flesh, creepy caveman who wants to drag her by the hair to their cave and have their way with her and more. That doesn't sound like a perfect island but there is more. A hunky conquistador who does not speak English and wears only a loincloth. All Salvador wants is some company and she would be the one.

For a short novella a lot happens. Running from dinosaurs, running from cavemen, finding out about the island, and of course falling in lust with Salvador.

Conclusion:
It was a fun and short read. It was not an island I would like to visit, but the more fun it was then to read about it.

  3. Gawd, I think that is a HOT cover. I don't think I've ever read a book which has dinosaurs or cavemen. This one sounds like fun, and quite the adventure for such a short story.

  10. I kind of like the sounds of this one - it sounds like something to read when you just want fluff and nothing else.

  16. This book does sound crazy! But also kinda perfect for summer!

  17. Creepy caveman and T-rex aside, being on a deserted island with a loincloth-clad, non-English speaking conquistador sounds like a fab vacation!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hm... I don't know if I want to read something that says heat in the cover. *sweats* However, still the lusty parts might be fun. :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Sounds completely crazy!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Whoa. A T-Rex? A caveman? This sounds like a wild book. Two things I love: The heroine's name *grins* and that smokin' hot cover!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Meeting someone like Salvador on a deserted island doesnt sound so bad except for the dinosaurs trying to eat them.

    ReplyDelete
  22. TRex and an loin clothed hottie? I'm in! And that cover is steamy!

    ReplyDelete
  23. This does sound like a fun read. I like stories about the Bermuda Triangle, though I'm not so into dinosaurs (I leave that to my 3 yr old son)

    Salvador was a sure plus on that island. If he had not been there, not so good. She would have gotten eaten for sure
