With fiery hair and a spirit to match, Eulalie Pritchard defies her father and flees London to marry Sir Percival Sterling -- a man she hardly knows. Then Lalie reaches Para, Brazil -- only to discover that Sir Percival's luxurious rubber plantation is another 3,000 treacherous miles down the dangerous Amazon. And dashing March Addison, the one man who can guarantee her safe passage, is as dangerous and unpredictable as the river itself.
From the moment they meet, Lalie and March are destined to clash. Yet in the sultry tropics, desire grows swiftly and the rules of civilization are swept away by the fierce currents of the river. Soon Lalie finds herself captured by a passion as swift and strong as the mighty Amazon...

What a phenomenal romance! I almost set this book aside, because the first 50 pages were a bit slow and I was ready for the story to get moving. I also took an immediate disliking to the heroine. Her holier-than-thou proper ways and her bias against those who were not of her race/station certainly did nothing to endear me to her in the beginning. But Lalie is a perfect example of true character growth. By the end of the story she is nothing like the infuriating Miss Eulalie Pritchard we were introduced to in the beginning. As she came face to face with her own prejudices and changed for the better, she slowly became a character I admired and could root for.
I loved Addison from the beginning, and other than pretending he had a nicely trimmed beard to go along with his 80's mustache, I would change nothing about him. :)
