"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.
