You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO is from Krysta, who has a tough one for you. She doesn't remember much, but what she does remember is rather epic in the “Whatnow?”
Ok, so I have a book that I read about 14 years ago, when I was at the
tender of age of much-to-young-to-be reading-romances! I honestly can't tell
you a lot about the plot of this contemporary romance except that there was
a heroine, who may or may not be in some sort of trouble, and a hero, who
may or may not be some sort of government agent, and-to my preteen mind-lots
of sexin' going on.
It seems I also remember most of the action happened on an island…maybe
the book was about some sort of hidden treasure? There was definitely an
explosion in the end of the book, possibly a house, possibly the island…
Could I possibly be more vague?
The best clue I can give you for this book is one of the sex scenes, which
my 11 year old brain translated as the most scintillating thing eva! There
was something about pearls that the plot revolved around and the woman, or
maybe the man, was in possession of a string of pearls…which the hero
skillfully used like like sex beads to give the heroine the best O ever.
It was literally the hottest thing I had ever read. Which doesn't say a lot
since the book I read right before that was the Boxcar Children, I know, but
my mind has elevated that scene to epic hotness porportions and I must read
the book again!
So, do you recall this book? What was he doing with those pearls? Wait, I don't think I want to know.
