Forget packing your bags and leave the sunscreen in the cupboard. Author Raymond Avery Bartlett will send you on the perfect Mexican vacation, while never leaving your couch. Join with Reed as he finds true passion and his true self.

What happens when a long time relationship hits a lull? How do you bounce back when neither partner understands the other? This turmoil brings our couple to Mexico on a last ditch effort to save a marriage. Sunsets of Tulum starts of in the tourist trap version of Mexico, the simple version. It is here you find that this guy really does try to love his wife again. He wants to make it work and have someone to love him in return. He soon finds that even with all the fake perfection, fruity drinks, and infinity pools nothing is simple. To his surprise love comes again in the most shocking places and forces our character to discover the real Tulum.

Sunsets of Tulum got a impressive 4 out of 4 score, truly an amazing read. I greatly enjoyed the emotional insight revealed behind Reed’s actions and thoughts throughout the book. His moral dilemma and confusion over love verse commitment bring new challenges and opens one's eyes. How simple it is to turn a world upside down. Relationships change in the blink of an eye and not many stop to acknowledge those minuscule actions that set us all on new paths. The struggle from a man’s point of view in a relationship falling apart is a unique perspective not often shown. Combine that with the rebound of emotion and love, the reader can really get pulled into this book.

Fall in love right along with Reed as he explores the best of Mexico. Bartlett drops his readers into a Mexican hostel, an odd setting to rediscover love, but believe me it works. With a simple touch Reed finds his true love, but can he find her again? Willing to try he throws caution to the wind. He finds himself surrounded by an unusual group in a life most people never experience. The majesty of the ocean brings out the best of us all, and Reed finds his perfect companion along the shore. Nothing lasts forever and when tragedy strikes Reed is forced to rethink everything he values. Can he have everything he ever wanted? What about his home life, a vacation can’t last forever right?

Travel to the real Mexico in Bartlett’s Sunsets of Tulum and rediscover love. Explore ancient ruins and your own understanding of love and life. Like me, you may not want to come home.
