★★★★★ "If you're a fan of adventure, history, even romance, you'll want to pick up a copy of Fiji: A Novel and brace yourself for the ride." -Susan M. Heim, author/editor of the bestselling 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' series★★★★★ "As a Fijian, I find the old traditions of our people fascinating and just as great as they are crude and gruesome. The novel touches on most of these now extinct practices, in mad detail and it's AWESOME!" -Random Writings Book Reviews (Suva, Fiji)

I'm not really fond of love stories, because they seldom match with reality. However, this book set against the background of 19th century Fiji, by then an island group with tribal rules, is a very wonderful exception. I enjoyed every minute reading it and I felt sorry when I finished the book. I liked the way the authors handle the fierce and violent tribal rules, where even cannibalism is common.I loved the struggle between the two leading characters, who love one another but don't dare to admit it.Although the book is sometimes a little predictable, it kept me reading on and on and as said before I enjoyed it till the last page.I can't tell if the historical setting of the book is right, but the way the characters try to overcome their prejudices and admit they are in love is nice to read.When this would have been a real book and not a Kindle edition I certainly would have looked at the end to see if it has a "fairy-tale" "and they lived happily ever after" ending.
FijiA NovelLANCE & JAMES MORCANReviewed by Roy Murry, AuthorFiji is an island adventure where the west meets natives that have little in common on the surface. Underneath the limited verbal communication, people are mostly the same when it comes to loyalty, friendship, and the fight against evil.The Drakes (Rev. and his daughter) are missionaries and an industrious trader named Nathan arrive on a Fiji island where cannibals wait in the background. A group of them attacks the somewhat civilized natives which the westerners are coming to meet.The visitors seem to have chewed more than what they bargained for when they decided to go to this particular island - Nathan to trade guns for a precious item and the Drakes to spread the word.All placed in a battle for survival they want to get through fast. A love story is a part of the struggle and a key to why Nathan does what he does, putting his life on the line for the good of the natives and Susannah.The prose and the background are so enjoyable that the reader will feel the drums, follow the action, and feel for the natives with waiting eyes. It is a short read of a long narrative, well done.
Ever since I read the Mutiny on the Bounty Trilogy as a teen, I have been drawn to exotic stories about the South Pacific. Fiji immediately drew my interest and I was more than pleased with this fascinating novel.If you like your stories straight up, told like it really was, and without any sugar coating, then Fiji is sure to please. This novel transcends gender and will appeal to both male and female readers. The characters in the story fascinated me, evolving and adapting to their circumstances and surroundings. The underlying romance that weaves itself through the story is beautifully written and credible as the couple move from intense dislike to meaningful love.This book had a bit of everything - sex, violence, humor, historic detail, and plenty of twists to keep one reading. A warning for all readers - in keeping with the authentic tone throughout, you will come across scenes of ritualistic slaughter and cannibalism. A fabulous novel, beautiful for its blunt rawness, exotic scenery, and fascinating storyline. Definitely one to pick up and read. The Kindle version is less than a dollar! A quality book for sure!
Sina of the Qopa tribe in Momi Bay was kidnapped by the Outcast Rambuka three months before the new missionaries from England arrived. Reverend Brian Drake and his daughter Susannah are coming to Momi Bay to convert the natives to Christianity. Reverend Drake has many plans for converting the natives. Susannah believes in what her father is doing yet she finds that she has feelings for Nathan Johnson. Nathan Johnson is only interested in making a profit by any means necessary. Nathan cannot stop thinking about Reverend Drake's daughter much to the Reverend's dismay. Nathan won't try to have a relationship with Susannah no matter what she is feeling right now. Iremaia is ratu of the Qopa tribe knows fighting the outcasts is deadly. Iremaia's son Joeli wants to defend Qopa tribe but doesn't think having muskets that Nathan Johnson brought with him can help his people. What is Rambuka's next move? Will Iremaia use muskets? What will become of Reverend Drake and his daughter? Is Nathan willing to change? Will Sina be returned to the Qopa tribe? Your answers await you in Fiji: A Novel.
From the very beginning when we witness the abduction of a girl by Rambuca, an 'Outcast', we know that we are in an exotic location --The Fiji Islands--with an underlying tone of mystery and danger. The novel is set in 1848, and the author has done his historical homework. We meet the daughter of a missionary, Susannah York, and an American trader and entrepreneur, Nathan Johnson. I couldn't read the novel without thinking of other swashbuckling tales of the Pacific, like 'Mutiny on the Bounty', and other thrillers depicting the natives of the Pacific, and the explorers who made contact with them, and traded with them. The romance between Nathan and Susannah grows in the midst of the exotic setting. Add sex, violence, strange rituals and cannibalism to the mix...and the authors have written a thrilling page-turner that will leave you wanting more!
