I both liked and disliked Wanderlust. I liked it because Elieba Levine takes the reader on a trip right alongside Jane Perry. Jane goes on safari to Africa and travels to Delhi and Hawaii, among other places. As she travels, Jane has sex, with multiple partners. It's a wham bam thank you man type of thing, where nobody really asks any questions, they just get to it. I found these actions to be unlikeable and I found it hard to believe that in this day and age, none of these characters were using protection. Jane herself decided within five minutes of meeting a man to share a hotel room together since they were staying at the same place. Um, hello. He could be a psycho killer. She proceeds to let her conquest tie her up in bed. Yea. Again, he could be a psycho killer.While on safari in Africa, she starts heavily flirting with two tour guides, who in turn begin competing to get her into bed. Pretty much every place Jane traveled to, she found good looking men to have sex with.Speaking of the sex, it was hot and there was plenty of it. The sex scenes actually got better as the book went on. I did giggle at the overuse of the word 'sword' when referring to the male form. Jane was out on the prowl for the entire story."As Jane waited for Bryan at the elevator, she thought about him. She hoped he would be a good lover. She suspected he would be quite perfect."p.55, WanderlustAuthor Elieba Levine tells a good story, she just didn't develop these people as much as I hoped she would. I mean, I know most of Jane's conquests were a quick thing, so they didn't need to have much background. Jane and the rest of the characters seemed very shallow to me. It almost felt like there was a 1960's free love kind of vibe going on. The ending was surely shallow, I'll leave it at that. The second book is called Interludes."Opium dens always conjured up romantic images to Jane, something forbidden, yet alluring. In Jane's mind people went to opium dens in old '30s movies, not in real life, but now she was on her way to one herself."p.72, WanderlustSo, if you like a hot erotica, that is really light and mostly about the sex, you might enjoy Wanderlust.Disclaimer:This review is my honest opinion. I did not receive any type of compensation for reading and reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers and authors, such as this one, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. I received a free copy of Wanderlust for review.
