Hardcover. no dust jacket spine slightly turned light shelfwear to bottom edge small nick in cloth at bottom of front cover; vintage bookseller's label Kendrick Bellamy Denver on rear pastedown. Novel about a career woman a young widow who works as an account executive for a San Francisco ad agency who is sent by her boss for whom she's already set her cap on a working vacation to Baja California to check out the potential of a disused casino being refurbished and turned into a resort. While on this assignment she succumbs to the Mexican way of life falls in love with a local ranch owner and considers throwing it all over to stay down there. Then her boss shows up romantic and professional complications ensue and a hurricane helps them sort it all out. The New York Times critic faulted the book for lacking "that deep below-the-surface quality that might have given reality to her consciously contrived tale. Even the background presented with such earnest attention to detail seems never to lose the aura of travel folder literature." Kirkus Reviews on the other hand found it an "intelligently emotional women's novel" -- so like with most books the only way to find out for sure is to read it yourself. .
