June 29th, 1973 Dear Mom and Dad, The girls and I are ready for our big kayaking trip! We leave July 5th and we’ll be done by the 9th. So hopefully you’ll get my letter before I make it home, all stinky and unwashed from our four day adventure. We did a training class at the University on how to use our kayaks, which we rented from the sports facility, and I’m feeling pretty confident. I actually really like it. If I can save up enough money I’ll definitely consider investing in one. I’ve packed up enough food, my camping gear, water, and all my safety supplies for this trip, so no fretting, Mom! I’m set to face off a bear should it come to that (just kidding, don’t have a heart attack). I’m really excited for this trip, and I’m bringing my Polaroid camera to take pictures that I can send with my next letter. I know with my first year at school being behind me, you want me to finish up somewhere closer to home, but I’m happier now. I love my new life, and when I go into the wilderness, it helps me forget the heartache I went through. Please know that I’m happy and I promise I’ll visit later this summer. I hope you and Dad are doing okay. Please know that I love you both and I’ll call when I get back from my trip. Lots of Love, Kate Trigger Warning: This book is meant for mature readers, 18+.

Likes:
* this perfectly scratched my Tarzan retelling search! So if that’s the retelling you’re looking for this is it!
* this is definitely erotica before romance
* I did like we got a good bit of the FMC before she got lost and then we get all the time that she’s with her new family. It was equally descriptive for both times of her life that it made when she did end up with the family it was easy to understand how she was feeling and adapting
Dislikes:
* I felt like the scene with them being captured by the bad tribe was unnecessary. Especially since this was supposed to be an erotica. That’s the scene that makes this book dark and it really wasn’t needed.
This book really perfectly scratched my Tarzan retelling that I was looking for. The FMC goes on an adventure with her college friends (they’re 19) and they end up being separated (won’t spoil how) and the FMC ends up alone. She’s basically slightly stalked by the MMC before she loses her friends and he finds/saves her after. Then proceeds his claiming/marking of her.
This is very heavy on the breeding kink and it’s hot. Like I have to mention it because I will definitely recommend this book to those that are looking for a book with that specifically.
However this book really is like a 3.5 stars but I’ll give it a 4. I say it’s a 3.5 because it’s supposed to be in the late 70s and it was reading like the FMC was freaking 2010 or something. The author didn’t write the time period/speaking/culture, etc very well. BUT I also wasn’t reading this book for the time period lmao. So it’s forgivable
