What a great beach read! The story starts as Mary Delaney and her boyfriend Nick go to South America for a working holiday. What happens is that Nick shows he still is a loser and goes off gambling and loses big. They have been together for two years and he has done some wild things to her in the past and this doesn't surprise her. When she wakes up in a dirty hotel in Corazon, a rural area  in South America. When she realizes that all the cash they had, Nick's passport and wallet are not in the hotel safe her personal hell starts. she has $16 in cash and no credit card and her cell phone reaches max minutes in the first hour of her realization.She finds herself in the middle of a strange country with very little Spanish and in the hands of the man that "won" her in the card game that took Nick's cash. The story evolved well and the characters were believable as well. Mary discovers a lot about her strength and Paulo her savior too. There are two reveals that are equally shocking too.I wish it was longer! All in all a very good read.
