This is one crazy book but what could you expect from the Bermuda Triangle. Diana is taking her groping client to Bermuda to find him a house, well that was the plan. The only thing she wants to do is earn money by selling a big house to him. She is smart, single and soon to be stranded on a desert island...almost deserted that is.
Oh yes this island has a T-Rex with a taste for human flesh, creepy caveman who wants to drag her by the hair to their cave and have their way with her and more. That doesn't sound like a perfect island but there is more. A hunky conquistador who does not speak English and wears only a loincloth. All Salvador wants is some company and she would be the one.
For a short novella a lot happens. Running from dinosaurs, running from cavemen, finding out about the island, and of course falling in lust with Salvador.
Conclusion:
It was a fun and short read. It was not an island I would like to visit, but the more fun it was then to read about it.

Would have been a four star read, but I removed a star for all the times she slapped him because I hated it so much. Overall enjoyable, didn’t really like the heroine half the time but I liked the world.

In a similar vein to the TV show The Lost World it takes place in somewhere existing outside of time where dinosaurs, cavemen, conquistadors, and more still exist. After the plane Diana is on goes down in the Bermuda Triangle she wakes up on the beach of a deserted island and shortly finds herself about to become breakfast for a T-Rex. (Guess what? The Island isn't very deserted.) That is only the start of her troubles as she finds herself relentlessly pursued by nasty horny cavemen. Salvador comes to the rescue time and time again and makes a super sexy Spanish Tarzan type character. A very fun, fast paced, adventurous, and sexy book.

Realtor Diana Holcomb regrets taking her handsy client to look at property in Bermuda then instant he steps on the plane without his wife. Dodging his advances is bad enough -- before the plane crashes on a strange island in the Bermuda Triangle.
Island Heat is definitely a weird novel, but mostly in a good way. Dinosaurs, prehistoric cavemen, and shipwrecked sailors (from as back as far as the 1500s) are found on the island. Diana connects with sexy Spaniard Salvador in an insta-love way that might be odd in any other book, but when he saves her from a caveman's sexual assault and from being eaten by a T-rex, all bets are off. This book is wacky fun.

Not your momma’s beach romance...
I wanted something different, and I definitely got it. Just imagine you’re stranded on an island with dinosaurs, dirty little cavemen, and a Spanish speaking Tarzan. Yeah. It’s unexpected and it was an awesome read!

Ok- this has it all for me. The premise is hilarious- it's Jurassic Park meets Gilligan's Island. A high end realtor on a private jet with her man whore client crashes in the Bermuda triangle on a mysterious island outside of time. The island comes with terrifying beach dwelling Tyrannosaurs Rex, brutal early humans, and just a few stranded European castaways. One of them is Salvador..and well..he's like Tarzan who speaks in a sexy Spanish accent. Yeah I like. The ONLY thing I had an issue with is that the h was in denial far too long and didn't put the facts together about what was happening. If there are dinosaurs on the island you are on as well as cave men- it follows that something is amiss with time- DUH.

Cute novella that's a little bit Lost meets Spanish Tarzan meets chick-lit.

This is probably one of my least favorite Myles stories to date. It combined several of my least favorite tropes and on top of that I wasn't really keen on any of the characters. Salvador was only marginally better than Eustace of the ape-men quite frankly and Diana at first seemed pretty compentent, but I started to doubt her intelligence as time went on.
