Publisher's summary

Paradise calls to Chase Wilcox. A man of science fascinated by the rebirth of life in the wake of cataclysmic natural upheaval, he is drawn to the lush beauty of the island of Hawaii and the secrets it holds - while escaping the destruction of his own personal world.

The island is home to many unexpected wonders, which is why Nicole Ballard could never leave. A research assistant, an artist, a dancer - a tall and stunning redhead who goes by the stage name Pele, goddess of fire - she, too, hides a secret pain, releasing her pent-up sensuality to the accompaniment of native drums before a mesmerized audience.

Joined on a scientific project that carries them both into the moist, verdant heart of a tropical wonderland, Nicole and Chase will be forced to confront their own lingering inner darkness, while resisting a newly inflamed need to touch, to give...to care.

In the shadow of Mount Kilauea, all restraints will be broken, as emotions flow hot and free as rivers of molten rock. And desire will erupt, as unpredictable and dangerous as the living volcano, transforming the very landscape of their lives.

Love it!

What did you love best about Eden Burning?

the background music- especially the drumming added to the audiobook- better than reading the pages (which I have also done)

A favorite! But consider the context.

I love Elizabeth Lowell, and this is one of my nostalgic favorites. This heartfelt romance predates her romantic suspense books. It was originally written in 1986 and updated in 2002, when women’s sexuality was represented differently in fiction. If you expect it to be like a book written in 2023, you may feel dissatisfied. But it’s an incredibly enjoyable listen if you take it at face value: a well written, sweet romance by an accomplished author which was published 20 years ago.

The characters are well developed and the plot is interesting. The vivid Hawaiian setting is almost its own character. Its easy to invest in the characters, even the secondary ones, and it’s an overall absorbing and interesting listen.

This book predates the current dual POV trend, where the main characters alternate chapters in 1st person. The POV of both the MMC and MFC are written in 3rd person, so we know what each of them are thinking and feeling. The male narrator does a good job representing all the characters and voices.

It doesnt get much worse than this...

This was such a bad book that I wanted to throw my fairly new Iphone out the window! If I were in front of a fire, it would have been chucked in with no hesitation. If you are looking for repetitive scenes, with no merit whatsoever, buy this book. If you are looking to be entertained, move on. I cannot say enough about how bad, boring, and painful it was.
