Missionary Position takes the reader on a whirlwind adventure over three continents and demonstrates that the idea of love can change when faced with the completely unexpected.This story took me through an expanse of feelings and emotions ranging from amused to zenful. My heart peaked and valleyed as Selah trekked to new destinations and embarked on fresh adventures. Selah is a strong, smart and capable woman. She relies on no one define her happiness or feelings of self-worth. But when she meets a man who awakens feelings inside her she never knew existed, her internal axis is tilted. She is forced to ask herself questions she never thought she would consider let alone be in the realm of possibility.The love story in the book is sublime. Selah and Gerhard (Kai) are well-developed characters both mentally and physically. They challenge each other to think outside themselves and to see the world from another vantage point while willing themselves to embrace a new point of view.Daisy crafts both heated passion and deep emotional connection between Selah and Kai. You could feel the emotional conflicts within Selah as she experiences pangs of guilt and longing over her new found friend. The references to Selah’s writing books her friends affectionately call pirotica under her pen name added some very nice spice to the storyline. Selah’s references to Kai’s given name Gerhard sprinkled throughout the book allow for double entendre chuckles.Worth mentioning is how descriptive Daisy is able to get about the locales she has her characters travel to. When Selah was seeking to get some skirts made in Africa, I felt as though I was in the open air market with her helping her choose fabrics. The story transported me to places I have never been, but left me feeling like I had truly seen the cities and landmarks described.Daisy is one of my favorite authors as her characters are extremely relatable to me. It is refreshing to read stories that allow you to believe that no matter what age, love is a possibility. Thank you Daisy for keeping that hope alive.
