Sorry! This is wildly off topic but I thought maybe someone would have an answer. I saw this in the ARe newsletter and wondered if someone here knows the name of the book:
"think it was a Mills and Boon or Harlequin or similar book from the early to mid 1980s. I can't recall the heroine's name but the hero might have been called Adam. I think the girl was in New Zealand and she meets an American Marine. She was fairly innocent and I remember that when he brought her home after being at the beach and they end up making out on the living room floor, he stopped when he realized she had nothing on under her dress (she had taken her bikini off because it was wet).
At some point he visits her family and meets her younger sister named Colette (the only name I am definite on). Colette is more worldly and a bit of a b***** and makes a play for the hero, who turns her down saying that the heroine has more sex appeal in her little finger than Colette. I think Colette may have also been married.
The Marine marries the heroine and they go to his base in America. Something goes wrong and he becomes distant with her. He starts going out every night and she thinks he has another woman. When she confronts him, he denies it and says that she will know when he is going to meet another woman if he showers etc first before going out. I think there might have been a suspense element as well with someone following her in America but I can't remember the details. I do remember that at the end they end up back on a beach making love."
Someone suggested an answer in the current newsletter but I think it is waaay off.
Thanks very much!
