And Gold Was Ours

I read this book in highschool, and i have to say i fell in love with it. It wasnt like most boring romances where everyone stays in the same place and there are only arguments. This one had just the right amount of action, romance, and mystery. I recommended it to my cousin and she fell in love with it too. If you are easily bothered by cruel people i wouldnt suggest it, as the half brother is a complete jerk, but other than that its simply amazing. I wish i could someday write as well as Rebecca.

I enjoyed reading this story but not as much as Forever My Love. I disliked having one spanish word in a paragraph and I am bilingual. I just thought it was distracting. I really like this author but this one just didn't quite live up to what I expected.

Some of the elements of the story were wonderful: the lost splendor of the jungle mansion, the mystical love story, death by sword, army ants attacking, and the hero, Salvador, who is so incredibly endearing, despite his Latin jealousy. Plus, you get to revisit Wolf and Storm of "Love, Cherish Me." I have never heard of a writer doing that in a non-serial work. There are some disturbing events that are nauseatingly awful, but the world isn't rosy. It is a memorable read, and I really love the cover of the first edition the best. Why they changed it, I don't know-- I hope to find another copy of it someday.

i read this book years ago but i still remember how splendid this story was, she is a wonderful writer.

Lots of Spanish bacgrounds. The reader gets entrapped in it
