You know, for someone who generally isn't a huge fan of the romance genre, author Adele Archer may just have converted me. In "Foreign Affairs," the third and final in her "International Relations" trilogy, the author has pulled out all the stops in bringing a complex set of circumstances to a conclusion that will either dismay or hearten you — and very well may surprise you. Her plot holds plenty of unpredictable twists, but for me, even more than plot, the best books show depth in character and in that regard Adele Archer excels in this full-length novel.
The main character, Dee, has always had a complicated history with men and her conflicting emotions between two of them in this book continues. Put another way, Dee lives in perpetual ambivalence. She tries mightily to rule with both her heart and her head, but in reality she's forever attempting something that probably few of us can do. Her efforts are made all the more difficult because of other characters who generally try to push her in various directions. I likely would have, too.
Ultimately, it's Dee's emotional tug of war that kept me reading long into the night at times, and I haven't even discussed (nor will I, because I don't like spoilers) the life or death dramas that you won't see coming. Of those, I will only say the circumstances will keep you riveted. My guess is that you'll also relate to much of it. At some junctures, you might even have to grab for your nearest box of tissues.
I think the novel could have been shortened some without hurting anything, but that didn't put me off because I HAD to see which way Dee's heart would move in the end. You'll keep reading for the same reason.
