Review of Forty Nights In Aruba
After Sara Sweeney's Aunt Kathy dies from pancreatic cancer, her life spirals downward after finding her mother, Stacey, in bed with her fiancé, Dave. If that isn't bad enough, her boss offers her a promotion, but only if she sleeps with him. At this point, Sara decides it is time to get away and honor her promise to scatter her aunt's ashes in Aruba, where they had spent yearly vacations. She breaks off her engagement to Dave, quits her job, files a lawsuit against her boss, and takes a flight to Aruba, even though her timeshare property at the Costa Linda Resort on Eagle Beach will not be available for several weeks. She soon discovers that trouble has followed her to the beautiful island. Read Forty Nights In Aruba by Bea Ann Argh to discover what dangers Sara encounters and why her life is in danger.
This book was a joy to read because it was full of romance and adventure. There was never a dull moment. Each character felt like a personal friend because they were fully developed and had adequate backgrounds. It was easy to feel the author's love for Aruba as each demographic scene was fully described. For example, I easily imagined the million stars in the sky and the many shades of blue in the Caribbean Sea. Aunt Kathy was my favorite character because she always put the other characters' needs ahead of hers. I appreciate that the author wrote the sex scenes tastefully by making them more about the character's emotions and not descriptive of the act itself.
Some female characters were players who used their bodies to get what they wanted without any commitment or consideration of their partner's feelings. Even though I thought this was insulting to women, this negative aspect was the only one I found, and it was essential to the storyline. Therefore, it did not impact my rating for this book.
The author did a commendable job editing this book. I only found a few errors that did not impact my reading enjoyment. I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars because it was professionally edited, tastefully written, and contained many moral lessons for readers. One lesson is that your actions can negatively impact others, and there can be consequences.
I recommend this book to mature romance and crime thriller fans who are not offended by sexual content, religion, or non-borderline profanity. The religious content is minor but involves faith in God and Catholicism.
