Havanas heat gives way to passion and suspense.By Cold CoffeeFrom the time Harry walked into the Saratoga Hotel in Havana, Cuba his routine business trip would be anything but routine. After all, this is Havana which has a mystique unlike any place on earth.It doesnt take Harry long to scope out the most beautiful woman on the island and his heart among other things beats with excitement as she notices him and strolls over to him. There isnt a man on earth that doesnt dream of classy women like Maria. Harry is mesmerized by her deep brown eyes that look into his soul.Harry soon discovers that his British accent and inability to communicate well in this multicultural community leaves him at the mercy (smiling) of his new found friend Maria who speaks English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Russian. With serious business to conduct as an importer, Harry is the luckiest man on earth to have Maria by his side as guide and interpreter. However, business is not as he imagined it to be in Cuba and soon Harry is in too deep.I would like to share you a quote to show you the authors writing style and the characters mind-set.There was Neanderthal and one of the grey-suited guys. He held a gun against me, inside a newspaper.I looked at the line of people in the queue ahead waiting to check in for my flight. Could I do anything? Could I make a scene? These guys wouldnt shoot me here in broad daylight with so many witnesses. Or would they? Did I have the bottle to find out?I answered my own question when I walked submissively in the direction the gun was pushing me: away from my ride home. Away from safety and into God only knows what end. In my mind I went through my last will and testament. Most of what I hadwhich included a three-bedroom, terraced house in Fulham that only had a twenty per cent mortgage on it due to the rise in house prices, a Ford Mondeo and some cashwould all go to my mother.I thought about what she would say when she heard Id been shot dead in Cuba: Silly bugger. Always was a prat. Then shed blow most of it at bingo.Author Fran Connor writes this fast paced romantic thriller with an intellect of the setting and people of Cuba, with humour and interesting dialog. I personally love it when a man writes romance and I believe any adult reader will enjoy and stay engaged with the plot.

InterestingBy Karen IngallsThe descriptions of Havana were interesting. The characters were well described and identifiable, but I did have difficulty following all the twists and turns that occurred. Can an average man like Harry truly achieve to outwit the worse criminal in Cuba? Maybe, but I was not convinced.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fully enjoyed this one!By ErikaHer Man in Havana is a fantastic read! The setting is Cuba and Harry is a resident of the UK and is there on business to make a rum and cigar deal and tour their factory. Simple right? Not so simple. He meets the gorgeous Maria, a translator and instantly falls for her. The simple deal turns into a huge ordeal as it snowballs out of control in political epic proportions.This book is written is first person so we know his thoughts as the story moves and even when Harry is facing imminent death his thoughts kept me laughing. Its a fast-paced action, romance, and mystery novella. The author kept the pace going at a steady speed yet still developed each scene fully with small setting details throughout so I had a nice picture of what was happening and where. I highly recommend this book. It was a riot!
