Join
Gillian, Brandt, Paige, and Tony as they are stuck on Pearl
Island.
Gillian and Brandt are indulging in a little role-playing and
lovemaking, while
Paige and Tony explore the island. Gillian is head over heels for
Brandt and is
hoping that he will profess his feelings for her and a long-term
relationship
while they are on the island and exploring their fantasies. She also
has
another motive. She hopes to find the treasure that is on the treasure
map that
her father gave to her as a child. Gillian is familiar with Pearl
Island,
and really thinks that they could find what they are looking for.
Realizing
that a treasure hunt for missing pirate’s gold is somewhat unusual and
unlikely, she still feels that they should try to find it. So she and
Brandt
embark on a journey to find long lost treasure all the while cementing
the bond
that they have. Will they find the treasure? When they get off of
GILLIAN’S ISLAND, will they have a
future or will their
relationship be lost as well?
Meanwhile,
Paige and Tony are exploring the island, and manage to get themselves
into some
precarious situations. While trying to maneuver out of what they’ve
gotten
themselves into, they each take a little time for reflection and some
personal
time as well. She has been worried that their relationship is near its
end
because it seems as if it was never meant to work to begin with. She is
significantly
older than he is, and feels that he could never want a future with an
older
woman when he could have a young lover. Tony on the other hand, is
intent on
showing her that they can have a future together, and if she will just
give him
a chance, he will prove to her that it can and will work.
In the
midst of two couples learning if their relationships will work, there
is a
treasure search going on. Will they find the treasure that they are
seeking?
Will Gillian and Brandt have a future together? Will Paige and Tony?
Are their
differences too vast for them to be together?
Ms. Ames
pens an erotic novella that is whimsical, adventurous and sexy.
GILLIAN’S ISLAND is a tropical treat.
Join two couples on their
quest for treasure, romance, and happily ever after. I appreciated the
older
woman/younger man storyline, because it one that isn’t used often. The role-playing between Brandt and Gillian
adds an unexpected bit of spice to the beginning of the story, warming
the reader
up and getting them interested. The incorporation of two couples into
the story
makes for twice the heat in a short read. Will they find what they are
looking
for? Or will they leave GILLIAN’S ISLAND
disappointed?
