Bishop burns up the pages in Afraid to Love, the third installment of her Ancient Passages series. This book can definitely be read as a stand alone, as Bishop wrote a complete world, so new readers can jump right in. Afraid to Love is filled with intrigue, danger, treachery and a steamy romance between Interpol contractor Booth Merrick and rare book dealer Gianna Zichella, as they hunt and are hunted by an international group of antiquities thieves. Bishop writes a fascinating book, with the lots of action, and good character development which had me flipping pages until the wee hours of the morning. Bishop has Booth and Gianna set the plot on fire with their passionate flirting and sensual bed sport. If you love Rebecca Zanetti Deep Ops books, then I highly recommend Bishop’s Ancient Passages.
About Sutton Bishop
I’ve been creating stories since I was a young girl. Playing in the rural meadows and woods in Illinois afforded my active imagination ample opportunity to go wild.
I grew up believing in fairy tales and dreaming of Prince Charming, creating some fanciful, complex stories. I crushed hard on most of my prince charmings. Many of them disappointed me, but a few did not. Those that didn’t matured as I matured. I added textures of character, physicality, and backstory. My monkey mind stayed busy, fleshing them out with strengths, weaknesses, and idiosyncrasies, based on men I met and experiences I had. Putting the stories on paper came much later, after four kids and a disjointed career.
My passions are culture and history. I have degrees in anthropology, forensics, and history. I have traveled near and far, asked countless questions, and made untold observations. Out great world is my imagination-laboratory, and writing brings it all together—the layers, the ordinary, and the extraordinary. Writing is how I explore the “what ifs.”
Anything is possible and often is. I invite you to take a break from your day-to-day living. Take a journey in a book. Immerse yourself in fantasy. What if?
Lose yourself in romance. Read mine.
