Another one down on my quest to read the first 100 HPs. This is numbered 98 and was first published in 1974.

This was going to be a 5 star read right up until the end. The author did an excellent job showing you that the hero had fallen head over heels for the heroine at first sight. They spent plenty of time together and the way he treated her was just lovely. The book had a bit of a travelogue feel to it. Lots of descriptions of jungle flowers. There was also a sort of melancholy brooding feel too it. But the ending was just too abrupt. I wanted him to tell her all about how and when he fell in love with her. But no, it wrapped up too quickly. Still a great read. ( )
