Selene scrimps and saves her money for a trip to South America that she hopes will enable her to find herself. She also plans to have a hot affair. Once there she meets Hudson, and an adventure ensues.

The publisher's description of this story says that it is an erotic romance, but if you want to read a romance, this isn't a good choice. The overall plot and theme of the book had promise, but it was presented in a way that turned me off entirely. I found the beginning very slow and would have put the book down if I hadn't had to finish reading it. Selene begins the story reflecting on her trip, how she saved her money, on her friend, on the actual journey, then the hotel, and the beach. Once she contemplates the taxi's seat, then thinks about the airplane, then returns to the taxi to contemplate the man's uniform. Selene is someone I would hate if I met her in person. She believes herself to be prettier and smarter than most other women. She reflects on how she could have gone to her choice of top colleges, but yet she is working for a minimal wage, scrimping and saving to get by. I didn't like her view of men. I felt she treated the young man and Hudson as toys. I personally did not see her grow as an individual at all.
