Seek by Mia Sheridan

SUMMARY

Wealthy socialite Olivia Barton never imagined her fiancé would disappear on what was supposed to be a routine business trip. She's even more heartbroken and confused when a hired private investigator tracks him half a world away, to a seaside town in Colombia. But the country has recently been ravaged by a massive earthquake and deadly tsunami, shutting down outside communication and making travel all but impossible. Still, Olivia is determined to make it to Colombia to find the answers she so desperately seeks. What she needs is a guide—a mercenary.

The man named Thomas arrives in shadows, an unmistakable air of danger about him, promising to help lead her through the ruined, crime-infested country. But when Thomas and Olivia find themselves fighting an undeniable attraction, danger takes on a whole new meaning. Then again, in the lush jungles of South America, all the rules are different and Thomas and Olivia are about to discover that sometimes the thing you seek, isn't necessarily the thing you find.

MY REVIEW

"Have you ever been in love?"
"Me?"
"Yeah, you. I'm assuming you have a heart under all that...muscle mass?"
"Love makes you weak."

Tomas is 'un salvador', a saviour, BUT he is also an opportunist.
Livvy is 'sunshine', warm and bright, BUT she is also a tough cookie.

They will meet, when Livvy decides to visit the ruined, most dangerous part of Colombia in order to find out what happened to her missing fiance. Tomas will be her guide.

Together they will live a clean adventure. They will walk the most unsafe trails, avoid drug dealers, run from murderers, avenge ravaged girls, visit devastated villages and pretend to be husband and wife.

Tomas will soften and let himself be loved.
Livvy will toughen up and give herself a night to remember.

"Oh, God, Livvy. I can't wait much longer. I've already waited too fucking long."
"Then don't."

Until Livvy is led to her final destination and she finds out:
-what happened to her fiance
-what is fake and what is real
-who is fake and who tells the truth

Another book that I absolutely loved by Mia Sheridan! It has the right and balanced amount of adventure and romance and enough twists to make your head spin.
