This quiet piece of Mallorca, it seems, is Cynthia’s retreat. Even by Mallorcan standards, it’s an environment that encourages you to drop back a gear or two and this, is how Cynthia likes it. ![]() Tucked around the corner from a secluded cove, the house,although on a residential street, sits high above it on a series of leafy terraces, each its own little oasis of palms, plants and places to sit.

If I had not spent so much time with my heart pounding, not being able to sleep until I got to through some parts, I would feel jealous that I had not felt that kind of love in my own life. I will summarize my feelings by saying Soldiers (Director's Cut) and the first part of Mercenaries are brutal in so many ways, but they build up to a love that makes most other romances seem boring.
