Get lost in the Bermuda Triangle . . .

Though I don't usually read Harlequins, I've always really enjoyed the 'More Than Men' series of books they publish. _Neptune's Bride_ is one of the best I've read from this series! Not only does it give an interesting explanation for the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon, it has two wonderful characters who play well off each other. Jase is wildly sexy and mysterious and Geneva is so funny as the scientist who tries to analyze the unexplainable. And, the sea creatures with their *very* unique personalities will leave you smiling! I was hooked from the first. It pulled me right in and wouldn't let go. You'll find yourself finishing this easily in one sitting.

Great! Fantastic Dialog! Wonderful characters

Neptune's Bride:This is the story of Doctor Geneva Kelsey, marine biologist and her love for a mysterious telepath Jase Guardian.When Geneva, discovers a species of sea mammal, long thought to be extinct, Jase, is dispatched from the mystical `sanctuary' wild-life preserve within the Bermuda triangle, to bring them back. As bargaining tool, Jase offers to disclose the whereabouts of Geneva's missing twin brother, Thomas.At first, believing Jase is a well-intentioned nut ball; Geneva tried to get away from him. Eventually, Jase's persistence pays off, and he convinces her that he is a genuine article. I thought this was a cute romance, with some clever dialog, and a great plot. Despite the `environmental' themes Duquette managed to pull it off without being unnecessarily preachy and heavy-handed, (which was a concern in this type of novel).Likes: I love the way telepathy was handled, and the minor characters were portrayed realistically, especially Thomas and the Uber-Guardian. Also, I thought Duquette was particularly good at writing dialog. She truly has a gift.Peeves: I would've preferred a less Anglo looking heroine on the cover, since the heroine in the book was supposed to be Spanish/Inuit, and the cover model looks white.Also, I found it hard to believe the main heroine was a mature woman in her thirties and had established NO life for herself outside of her work. For once, I'd like to see a romance novel about a heroine who is happy and has a successful social life and a career she is not so easily willing to part with.
