Blog Tour: Delayed Departure by Abigail Drake
Delayed Departure
Abigail Drake
(Passports and Promises, #2)
Publication date: August 16th 2017
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
When Bethany Beaumont finds a book about life in the sultan’s harem, she discovers it’s actually a guide to the lost art of seduction. Just what she needs as she departs on a study abroad trip to exotic Istanbul. She’s struggling to get over her ex, and the book of dirty little secrets might be just the thing to help…if only she could find someone to practice on.
Half-Turkish and full of Australian swagger, teaching assistant Adam Kent seems to fit the bill. They decide to become lovers for the duration of the trip, and then part ways. Forever.
But not every lesson can be found in a book, and sometimes falling in love changes everything. When Bethany is forced to confront her past, and the promises she made to someone else, will it really be as easy as she thought to let Adam go?

REVIEW:
I LOVE this story!
Delayed Departure was so much more than a love story. This was a full on adventure! The only reason I ever put this book was because I had to do life, otherwise this would have 100% been a binge from beginning to end...and I wouldn't have minded at all!
All of the characters are amazingly colorful and draw you in immediately to their little group. I definitely felt part of this group from my side of the book.
Bethany being the main character in this book was someone that I could relate to. I loved her passion for photography and breaking down the barrier between normal tourist and a genuine interest in all things no matter where she was. Super inquisitive and I really loved that about her.
I think Adam was a great match for her. Alpha, in control, seemingly all knowing...he was really a complete package and watching him fall for Bethany was really fun. He really cared for her and everything she wanted...oh to be loved like that.
This is the first story by Abigail Drake that I have read, but I am intrigued. I loved this and will be checking out her other work.
Because I loved this so much I am giving it 5 stars.
