Review: The Legend of he Diamond Globe – Evelise Archer

Three fierce warriors are hired to search for and retrieve a lost diamond- a diamond globe reputed to have magical powers for those who have it in their possession. Eri Akari, Cheveyo Cloud, and Adolfo Martino—mercenaries for hire, tired and restless, look to live a simpler life. Lovers and compatriots, one last mission with a large payoff can be just the ticket they need to get out of the business. Fahad Bahar al Menoit walks into their lives in need of help: little does he know that the help he may receive could cost him everything he treasures.

What happens when you mix an eagle, whale and wolf with a sleek panther? Can true happiness be found and what power does the diamond globe truly hold? Is wealth found in a bank account or is true wealth found in the heart?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

“The Legend of the Diamond Globe” had so much potential.  I was excited to read it.  I thought it was to be a grand adventure…the search for a diamond in the shape of a glow that has magical powers.  Three men are in business together, sort of like a few Indiana Jones’s.  They’re a triad and are in love with each other. They’re hired to find this diamond globe to return it to the family who it belongs to. There’s a bit of a supernatural flare.  Each of the men identify with an element, and they bear tattoos to show it.  They all feel a pull to the man who hired them, and he feels pulled to them.  He even bares a tattoo like theirs.

Here’s where I was slightly disappointed.  They spent a lot of time together exploring their relationship and having sex.  Really, really HOT sex, but there was a lot.  They did a bit of research with a paper trail, photographs, and stories, but as far as going out and physically searching for the globe? Not so much.  I didn’t get the adventure I’d hoped for.

I didn’t DISLIKE “The Legend of the DIamond Globe”, but I didn’t LOVE it.  I found it to be a quick read, and the characters were likable.  Even the background characters were interesting.  The descriptions of the locations were VERY well done.  I could actually see everything in my mind.  The author did a wonderful job with that.  I’m taking this book for what it is…a sexy love story between four men in some beautiful locales, and they just happen to be looking for a valuable piece of family history.
