Guest Review: Saffron Nights – Liz Everly

Wherever they travel, there’s an aphrodisiac waiting to whet their appetites…

Brazil…Hawaii…India….As a food writer, Maeve has just been handed the hottest opportunity of her career. She’s being sent on an international research tour for an aphrodisiac cookbook. The downside is that she has to travel with rock star photographer and womanizer Jackson Dodds. And the upside is that she has to travel with Jackson Dodds. Because once they meet, Maeve understands why he’s been named “America’s Most Eligible Bachelor”—and despite her best intentions, all she can think about is putting their arousing recipes to the test…

Sexy and talented, Jackson can have any woman he desires. But lately, the thrill is gone—until he lays eyes on Maeve, who exudes sensuality like no one else. She’s determined to keep things professional, but he knows the attraction is mutual. And as they travel the world, sampling warming saffron, juicy papaya, silky avocado, rare herbs and teas—and a mushroom whose very aroma sends women to heights of ecstasy—both discover a hunger they’ve never known, and don’t want to resist, even amid unexpected danger…

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Saffron Nights is full of intrigue and suspense. Jackson and Maeve were the two main characters.  They traveled the world to fulfill their contracts to publish a cookbook specifically written about aphrodisiacs.  Prior to their journey they learn that another partner is dead and possibly killed. They proceed with their mission and take the reader along a jaunt filled with twists and turns, peaks and valleys.  I loved the conflict between the Maeve and Jackson.  It wasn’t your typical I have eyes only for you and will touch no one else  but you.  This book allows the reader to see the multifaceted nature of the conflict of giving up one’s previous life to be with a person that you love.  That was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the book.

The characters are lovable and easily draw you into the story.  I gasped when the characters were attacked and attempted to help them solve the mysteries.  I let go of a sign of relief when they were saved.  Saffron Nights is a wild ride that you will definitely enjoy taking.
