I can't think of anyone I'd recommend this book to. Honestly.

The first few pages were a flashback about the love story origin. Then we switch to the current day, in which a series of absolutely idiotic (not fun, as the authors intended), unromantic, never funny, swooningly dull events happen.

Are we really to believe that two experienced tour/adventure guides wouldn't immediately report the death of one of the guests' when a satellite phone is on hand? Or once the main characters figure out that said villain had a satellite phone on hand, that they would wait days to turn on said phone to check messages or contacts? Or that said characters who have very limited time to find a treasure are going to stop to boink and then sleep in? These are just three of the eye-rolling problems with this book. Not to mention the lack of chemistry between the lovebirds or terrible characterization.
