Inka

by Angela Vehorn

Kelly reluctantly agrees, but she’s none too pleased to learn she’s going to be accompanied by a pesky photographer, because headstrong, independent Kelly prefers to work alone. Most men can’t keep up with her (except for her stalker ex-boyfriend, Chad; Kelly sincerely wishes he couldn’t keep up with her).

Things get even worse when she finds out that Leif, the pesky photographer in question, is none other than the hunk who got an accidental, humiliating look at her Wonder Woman underwear at a recent awards dinner. What’s more, it turns out he’s a smart, funny hunk who seems to like all the same things she does...While she’s falling in love with the stunning scenery of the Peruvian Andes (and taking note of the stunning scenery that is Leif’s face), Kelly becomes fascinated with the ancient Inca culture, especially the rapidly approaching Festival of the Sun. On that day, the Winter Solstice, the Incas used to sacrifice virgins to the god of the sun.

As Kelly delves deeper and deeper into Inca history, she makes a horrifying discovery about the way things really are up there in the mountains, and at the same time learns a lot about herself, love, and what she’s truly capable of achieving.

You’ll relate to Kelly, who is sometimes klutzy and a little goofy but always fearless, and Inka will take you places you might have dreamed of traveling to but have never had the opportunity to visit. Inka is part romance in the chick lit vein, part travelogue, and part adventure thriller, but most of all it’s a great read with numerous laugh-out-loud moments.
