Summary: 
IF WE ARE LUCKY, LIFE SENDS US ONE TRUE FRIEND. When Solaris left Tristan in San Diego to pursue her photojournalist career, she thought goodbye was forever. But six years and ten thousand miles did not erase their special friendship. While she is working freelance in Peru, Tristan finds her. But trouble follows him to the Amazon jungle. In one moment, her entire world is torn apart. His small decision to see Solaris ripples through their lives with devastating effect. Nothing will ever be the same.
Solaris is coming home to San Diego. Courage to travel the world is gone. Her career is shattered. Her brother Wyatt is the only person she can trust.
Joshua Archer dreams of danger, sending him cross-country with his sister Madison on a journey to save Solaris. Leaving their Boston life behind, they arrive on peaceful Coronado Island near San Diego to discover the beautiful woman they are destined to protect is surrounded by secrets. Her entire past is a lie.
Solaris doesn't remember the day the lies began. Her young mind chose to forget all the beautiful things her heart lost. She got lucky. She survived. But someone very special died. Powerful corrupt people have dedicated their lives to concealing the truth and will destroy anyone who threatens their secrets. The truth is deadly.
People meant to love you forever can be the most deceptive.
Love must be stronger than fear to survive. Without courage, justice will be impossible. Solaris must risk everything to find the truth. But she is not alone. Someone is watching. Someone wants her dead. But someone else loves her.
If we are lucky, Life gives us one true friend. "Touched by Sunlight" is the dramatic story of that courageous friendship and the sacrifice love must make. This Extraordinary Journey Romance travels through the Amazon to track a jaguar,
will sweep along the shores of San Diego where dolphins play in the surf, and races across the warm sand on a beach that glistens gold in the summer sunlight.
Fast-paced and emotionally involved, with charismatic characters that jump from the pages, "Touched by Sunlight" is addictive and unforgettable.

Review:   
I have received this book as part of a blog tour in exchange of an honest review.
Touched by Sunlight is a good romance full of suspense and mystery, which I’m a big fan of.
The mystery, twists and turns and suspense did not disappoint me and I was hooked into the story right from the start. The romance is very well-written as well and developed at a nice pace.
The author definitely did a good job creating complex characters that have to deal with unexpected situations.
All in all, Touched by Sunlight is a great, mysterious read, that’s very well-written and that kept me entertained right from the start.

After years apart Jax and Lainie found each other again just when a killer who’s been after her for ten years, finds her once more. Will Jax be able to help Lainie become Invisible?
I really liked the characters in this book and their relationship.
Jax is probably my favorite character. He’s sweet, relaxed and understanding.
Lainie is great as well and I thought the two of them fit very well together. They complemented each other and their relationship developed rather nicely.
Plotwise, the story developed quickly without ever getting boring. I like these kinds of books and Invisible did not disappoint me.
The book is fast-paced, well-written and interesting. The characters and their stories are well-developed and their struggles were able to keep me interested and entertained.
If you enjoy a good romantic suspense, you should give this book a try!
