"A fun adventure"
He spent fourteen years living among the remote New Guinea
Antorak tribe following a plane crash. Anthropologist Dr.
Peter Havistock is a minor celebrity sponsored on a tour of
American colleges by the Wimberly Foundation. However,
Peter's fifteen minutes of fame becomes much longer when he
gives his lectures in native costumes that have the Ivy
League students acting like they are in a Spring break wet
T-shirt contest. Wimberly director Leslie Hall-Grumman thinks the native G-
string is a bit too much or perhaps too little, but she
feels Peter goes too far when he announces on the Harry
King TV show that he is a virgin in search of a bride.
Women want the handsome hunk in their bed, but Leslie
believes he is courting her, a thought she finds delightful
yet frightening. Though timelines involving Peter seem off kilter, readers
will enjoy this wacky romantic romp with a not so subtle
satirizing message on what is civilization. The amusing
story line is refreshing yet provoking due to the sparring
of the lead couple. Leslie deploys her "superior" western
philosophy while Peter employs "Stone Age" spears.
Katherine Deauxville provides her audience with a way-out
romance that will delight all readers including that
endangered species, THE LAST MALE VIRGIN.

SummaryLeslie expects a great deal of publicity for Dr. Peter
Havistock—heck, the hunk has survived a plane crash, spent
nearly fourteen years living with a Stone-Age tribe in the
wilds of Papua New Guinea, and returned to write a best-
selling book about it. But his tour of colleges is too
wild. Frankly, Leslie has never seen a doctor of
anthropology act the way Havistock does. And while his
ceremonial g-string is...authentic...she doesn't see the
need for him to go flaunting his perfect body across the
nation. And then he announces on Harry King Live that he is
a virgin! And that he is looking for a wife! And that he'd
like to marry her! Well, she decides, there is a first time
for everything....
