Customer Reviews

I love this book!

I bought this book with some doubts because I read some of the other books written by Catherine Palmer, and although I enjoyed them, they all had a little tone of soap opera at times that kind of bothered me. But from the beginning "A kiss of Adventure" proved me wrong! This is an excellent story! I couldn't stop reading...every page is filled with adventure and romance...romance and adventure... Everything starts when Tillie is suddenly pulled into a Land Rover by the mysterious Graeme McLeod. From that point on, Tillie's life will change for ever. The race for the treasure of Timbuktu is on, and these two characters will have to go through deserts and crocodiles to solve a mystery that started two hundred years ago... At the end, Tillie will find her real treasure...the treasure that was there all along but she couldn't understand...It's a great story...a great book...If you like heartfelt romance with a twist of adventure this is the book for you! Enjoy!

Also under the title "A Kiss of Adventure"

I have fallen in love with this book and have read it multiple times. I was quite disappointed to discover that it was out of print. After a while I managed to get a used copy. However, while shopping a book caught my eye and I flipped through it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the book to be The Treasure of Timbuktu, only under a different name! If you would like a copy the title is now A Kiss of Adventure, which is part of the treasures of the heart series.

This book is my favorite novel by Catherine Palmer!

This book is really exciting & extremely funny. Tillie, a girl longing for a change in her so predictable life, is swept away on an adventure with Greame. At first Tillie isn't sure about Greame but as they continue traveling together in Africa she finds it hard to deal with the fact that he isn't a christian and they can have no future together. Once you open this book you can't put it down and the pages will not stop turning. This book could turn someone who hates reading into someone who loves to!
