The LIONS, KISSES, AND PETRODOLLARS is a lighthearted, romantic adventure. The tumultuous love affair of Geoff and Michelle in the late 1960’s and a questionable real estate transaction in Canada are the backdrops to an accurate, though irreverent, humorous, and politically incorrect still photograph of the post-independence Africa.

REVIEWS Review by JoEllen Conger Quote: Multi-published author, Gabriel Timar has produced another above average suspense full of international intrigue, with the kind of humor that will make you fall in love with his main character, Geoff M. Bones, safari owner and professional hunter. He and his partner, Marcus Ngani, a full-blooded Kikuyu, delight in giving their clients more than they bargain for.
Review: Scallywag, Geoff M. Bones, and his dark complexioned partner, Marcus Ngani, play at the game of ‘bwana and servant’ for their ‘professional hunter and his local attendant’ appearances. They are doing well at driving their clients, Mr. Parmentier and his younger lady friend, Michelle Leclerc over dusty, bumpy back roads to shoot wild game--until Tanzania bans hunting lions and elephants. Then their plans must be altered--like flying to a different country. Meanwhile, Geoff, a resourceful bachelor, has his eye set on the young woman and proceeds to separate her from her senior husband…for bit more than a few stolen kisses. But that’s not all. They soon discover that their clients aren’t who they pretended to be. Then all hell brakes loose, and they find themselves fleeing for their lives over international boundaries, trying to outwit not only the Arab gunmen determined to do away with sixty year old Mr. Parmentier, but the local tribal police, as well. This is a very fast paced action yarn that will keep you riveted in your seat. I loved it so much I read it twice—back-to-back. I was captivated by the convoluted espionage, the international financing, and Gabriel Timar’s way of outwitting the crooked African politicians. This book is definitely a keeper.
Review by the Pen and Muse http://www.thepenmuse.com/search?q=Timar What I liked: Bring on the action and adventure for Lions, Kisses and Petrodollars by Gabriel Timar! Timar surely knows how to write as the homework was done. I could imagine myself in the 1960's with the two lovers, Geoff and Michelle. What more could I ask for in a romance, tons of adventures. Surely not to disappoint readers, Timar is an author to watch for and will be on my list to watch for more stories to come!
